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.

Improving tea quality and fruit yield through intercropping with climbing plants

Frontiers in Agronomy
Integrating high-value climbing fruit crops into tea (Camellia sinensis) systems offers potential to improve tea quality and diversify income, yet the density-dependent effects on both crops remain unquantified. This study evaluated tea intercropped with

Complementary or Competitive? Emerging Interactions Between Restoration and Protection in the Conservation Reserve Program

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The USDA's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) delivers environmental benefits to society by enrolling cropland and grasslands to reestablish or safeguard long‐term vegetative cover. In recent years, the CRP has dramatically increased grassland enrollment while cropland enrollment has been in steady decline. This paper uses descriptive analysis,

Integrated Effects of Climate, Topography, and Greenhouse Gas on Grassland Phenology in the Southern Slope of the Qilian Mountains

Atmosphere
Understanding vegetation phenology dynamics is essential for evaluating ecosystem responses to environmental changes. While previous studies have primarily focused on the correlation between vegetation phenology and climate variables, the integrated ...
