Ploughing for Justice: Land Return, Clientelism and Citizenship in Central Burma
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article asks if clientelism is a form of citizenship in an agrarian society under military domination. It focuses on the efforts made by villagers in central Burma to recover land previously grabbed by force by the military state. A promise of land return during the political transition of the 2010s enabled dispossessed farmers to define ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Recreational off‐highway vehicle (OHV) use can cause significant disturbance to natural areas. The use of local balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) cuttings may be a solution to supply native plant material for the restoration of flood‐prone and riparian environments.

The photosynthesis-foliar nitrogen relationship in deciduous and evergreen forests in New Hampshire [PDF]
, 2018 Biomass production in forests is a key process in the global carbon (C) cycle that is strongly linked to photosynthesis and related leaf traits. Spatially, relationships among leaf traits can vary as a function of climate, soils and species composition.

Restoring soil and tree nutrition through non‐industrial wood ash additions to sugarbushes
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Nutrient losses from forest soils caused by decades of acid deposition have affected tree growth and depleted soils of essential nutrients in eastern North America. Non‐industrial wood ash (NIWA) is rich in macronutrients and may be a potential remediation strategy to restore lost nutrients as a forest soil amendment.
