Suppressing Dendrite Formation through Au‐Driven Interfacial Engineering for Solid‐State Lithium‐Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A thin gold nanolayer on lithium metal enables stable and uniform lithium plating in solid‐state batteries, enabling nearly 1 year and 11 months of continuous operation. The conductive coating lowers interfacial resistance, suppresses dendrite growth, and improves cycling stability, attributed to homogeneous deposition of Li+ on the gold layer ...

Linking Land‐Use/Cover Change With Landscape‐Based Drivers in Contrasting Agro‐Ecological Environments of the East African Rift System

open access: yesFood and Energy Security
Understanding land‐use/cover (LUC) change in response to landscape‐based driving forces is essential for regular land‐use/cover monitoring, forecasting, and the formulation of sustainable resource management strategies.

Effects of land use and land cover change on ecosystem services in the Koshi River Basin, Eastern Nepal

open access: yes, 2019
The provision of ecosystem services is directly related to the type of land use and land cover and management practices in a given area. Changes in land use and land cover can alter the supply of ecosystem services and affect the well-being of both ...

Kenyan Farmers' Policy Priorities During Economic Crisis and Stability: Insights From a Best‐Worst Scaling Experiment

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

Forest cover change in space and time : combining the von Thunen and forest transition theories [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper presents a framework for analyzing tropical deforestation and reforestation using the von Thunen model as its starting point: land is allocated to the use which yields the highest rent, and the rents of various land uses are determined by ...

Adapting to Changing Rainfall and Developing Off‐Farm Employment: Implications for the Adoption of Direct Seeding in Rice Production

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the evolving temperature sensitivity and climate adaptation of cereal yields in Italy from 1952 to 2023, using province‐level data for maize, common wheat, and durum wheat. Employing panel data econometric methods, we estimate yield responses to heat exposure, changes in sensitivity over time, and adaptation to climate ...
