Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.

Effects of extreme drought on agriculture soil and sustainability of different drought soil [PDF]
, 2014 Abstract. Content of microbial biomass carbon was selected as indicator for identifying effects of extreme drought on agriculture soil ecosystem. Through a series of prototype observation experiments, changing tendencies of microbial biomass carbon content and the proportion of microbial biomass carbon in soil organic carbon were identified.

Nutrients mitigate the impacts of extreme drought on plant invasions
Ecology, 2020 AbstractExtreme climate events, such as drought, are becoming increasingly important drivers of plant community change, yet little is known about their impacts on invasive plants. Further, drought impacts may be altered by other anthropogenic stressors, such as eutrophication.

Extreme drought alters competitive dominance within and between tree species in a mixed forest stand
, 2013 1. The effect of extreme climate events on ecosystems is an important driver of biotic responses to climate change. For forests, extreme drought has been linked to negative effects such as large-scale mortality and reduced primary production.
