Alternative Policy Designs to Help Farmers Select Profitable Conservation Practices

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary private carbon initiatives (VPCIs) promote the implementation of agricultural conservation practices that mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) via financial incentives to participating farmers. Simultaneously, an array of public policies supports the adoption of conservation practices through technical and financial ...

A new approach for estimating northern peatland gross primary productivity using a satellite-sensor-derived chlorophyll index

open access: yes, 2011
Carbon flux models that are largely driven by remotely sensed data can be used to estimate gross primary productivity (GPP) over large areas, but despite the importance of peatland ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, relatively little attention has ...

Analysis of the spatiotemporal dynamics of grassland carbon sinks in Xinjiang via the improved CASA model

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Accurate assessment of grassland carbon sinks provides scientific data for quantifying the global carbon balance. Currently, methods for precisely calculating NPP (net primary productivity) and NEP (net ecosystem productivity) in arid grasslands are ...

Contrasting and interacting changes in simulated spring and summer carbon cycle extremes in European ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2017
Climate extremes have the potential to cause extreme responses of terrestrial ecosystem functioning. However, it is neither straightforward to quantify and predict extreme ecosystem responses, nor to attribute these responses to specific climate drivers.

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Predicting Ecosystem Net Primary Productivity by Percolation Theory and Optimality Principle

open access: yesWater Resources Research
The basic partitioning of precipitation P into evapotranspiration ET and run‐off Q is known as the “central problem of hydrology.” ET depends primarily on precipitation, P, and potential evapotranspiration, PET, which are connected by the biological ...
