Plant pathogen profiling with the EpiPvr package

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a flexible framework for epidemiological profiling of insect‐borne plant pathogens (IBPPs), utilising readily available experimental data. The framework is applicable to most IBPPs transmitted by insects feeding on plant veins, with particular relevance to whitefly‐borne viruses that impact cassava production in sub ...

DImodelsMulti: An R package for fitting Diversity‐Interactions models to repeated measures or multivariate data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Diversity‐Interactions (DI) modelling is a regression‐based approach used for modelling the biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) relationship. This methodology assesses the effects of manipulating (initial) species richness, composition (species identities) and species proportions on ecosystem function responses measured at a later point ...

Rainfall timing, forage growth, and insuring forage: Linking producer perceptions to observational data

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract The timing and amount of rainfall are crucial in forage growth. Producer perceptions of the rainfall distribution are likely to influence their choices related to the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index insurance program. Because of the scarcity of forage production data, diversity of forage production systems, and climates ...

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

open access: yesAmerican 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.
