Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Habitat Quality in Sicily, Italy

Land
We measured the spatiotemporal dynamics of habitat quality (HQ) in Sicily in two different reference years, 2018 and 2050, assuming a business-as-usual scenario. To estimate HQ and related vulnerability, we used the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) Habitat Quality model and data on land use/land cover provided by the ...

Water quality at the habitat of the Podostemaceae in Ghana

West African Journal of Applied Ecology, 2009
The water quality and river catchment characteristics of Ankasa, Asuboni and Pawnpawn rivers in Ghana where Podostemaceae grow were determined using standard methods. The altitude of the sites ranged from 100 to 290 mabove sea level. The catchment areas for the sites vary from 35 to 171 km2. Between 10–81% of the catchment areas of the sites are within
