Room to regenerate: microhabitats and the recruitment niche as drivers of mountain woodland restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...

Financial Inclusion, Climate‐Related Shocks and Food Insecurity in Ethiopia

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the impact of climate‐related shocks on the food insecurity status of households in rural Ethiopia and whether access to financial services can mitigate the adverse consequences of these shocks. We use panel data from the Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey for the analysis.
