When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Dynamics of Extreme Drought and Extreme Wet in Indonesia: Analysis of Frequency, Trends, and Spatial Distribution 1995–2024

JIF (Jurnal Ilmu Fisika)
The climatological pattern of rainfall and the occurrence of extreme drought and extreme wet in Indonesia are influenced by monsoon dynamics, topography, and Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTA) in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Effects of single and repeated drought on soil microarthropods in a semi-arid ecosystem depend more on timing and duration than drought severity.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Soil moisture is one of the most important factors affecting soil biota. In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, soil mesofauna is adapted to temporary drought events, but, until now, we have had a limited understanding of the impacts of the different ...

Livelihood Diversification as an Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change and Household Food Security of Livestock Holders in Pakistan

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rural farm households continue to face significant risks from climate change, resulting in many of them diversifying their livelihood sources into other income‐generating activities to increase their incomes and improve food and nutrition security. In this study, we examine the drivers and impact of farm households' participation in livelihood

Weather Attention in Online Discourse and Price Uncertainty in Agricultural Futures Markets

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weather is a central determinant of production risk in agricultural markets, but markets respond not only to weather conditions themselves, but also to how those conditions are noticed, framed, and interpreted in public discourse. In this setting, real‐time online weather discussions may shape price uncertainty by influencing how market ...

Global evidence of rapid flash drought recovery by extreme precipitation

Environmental Research Letters
Flash drought affects agricultural activities and water availability. However, the rate of flash drought development and termination and their controlling mechanisms remain mostly unexplored. Using climate reanalysis (ERA5) datasets, we examine the flash

Projected Global Changes in Severe and Extreme Drought Occurrence: A CMIP6 Multi-Model Assessment Using SPI, SPEI, and Concurrent SPI-SPEI Conditions

Hydrology
Understanding how different drought indicators characterise future drought conditions is essential for climate monitoring and adaptation planning. This study quantified annual severe- and extreme-drought occurrence rates at the 1- and 3-month timescales ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...
