Reallocation Effects of Internalizing Externalities: Evidence From China's Straw Burning Ban

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the reallocation effects of a typical environmental policy aiming to internalize externalities: the straw burning ban across China. The ban prohibited the traditional farming practice of burning straw while compelling the labour‐intensive practice of straw utilization.

Differences in Habitat Quality Drive Behavioral Contrasts in Two Family Groups of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Habitat quality variation drove distinct behavioral strategies: GC (resource‐rich group) behaviors were influenced by food availability, safety and stability, while GE (resource‐scarce group) behaviors relied more on topography, food, and nutrients. Seasonal behavioral flexibility was demonstrated, with food variables dominating in the dry season and ...

ForestForTrees: An R package to infer forest structure from remote sensing data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating forest size‐abundance distributions is essential for understanding demographic processes and structural dynamics. Remote sensing provides broad coverage but often misses smaller trees hidden beneath the canopy, complicating inference of the full size distribution.

Living on the edge – physiological tolerance to frost and drought explains range limits of 35 European tree species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes. Mechanistic models are complex and have high parameter requirements.

The Effect of Different Sowing Dates and Plant Densities on Plant Development Periods in Pea Under Rainfed Conditions in Early Spring

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis
This study aimed to examine the effect of different sowing dates (5 March and 26 March) in early spring and plant densities (40, 60, 80, 100 seeds/m2) on plant growth and development under rainfed conditions in semiarid areas over six harvest times on ...

How L2 Learners Negotiate Meaning in GenAI‐Supported Creative Writing

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This qualitative study explores how second language (L2) learners negotiate meaning and co‐construct knowledge with generative AI (GenAI) in a 12‐week multimodal creative writing project. Chinese middle school students (N = 75) created English picture books using a conversational GenAI agent supporting textual and text‐to‐image generation.

Mixed Methods Research on Family Caregiving for Stroke Survivors: A Methodological Systematic Review

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To examine how mixed methods research has been applied in studies of family caregiving for stroke survivors, focusing on key methodological components (rationale, design types, integration strategies, and use of joint displays). Design Methodological systematic review. Methods A systematic search of five databases yielded 17 studies.

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Thicket Formation and Light Limitation Drive Patch-Scale Vegetation Transitions in a Subtropical Savanna. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Bush encroachment drives a shift from savanna dominated by Vachellia karroo to thicket vegetation. As canopies close, light availability declines, herbaceous cover and species richness decrease, and shade‐tolerant species replace open‐savanna taxa. Woody cover above ca.
