Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Microclimate drives demographic compensation in a narrow endemic tropical species
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Demographic compensation occurs when reductions in some vital rates are offset by increases in others, allowing populations to maintain similar performance across varying environments. This mechanism may help explain species' ecological distributions and range limits, yet its role at microenvironmental scales remains poorly understood.
