Water-extractable alkalinity to estimate the acid-neutralising capacity of organic amendments
GeodermaThe effectiveness of amendments to increase the pH of an acidic soil can be expressed as acid-neutralizing capacity (ANC). The alkalinity measurement method, based on prolonged hydrolysis of organic amendments with acid, is widely used but may ...

Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.

The long-term role of organic amendments in addressing soil constraints to production
, 2018 The use of organic amendments such as composts and manures in agricultural production can be traced back to at least the 3rd millennium BC (Wilkinson 1982), where evidence of urban refuse being used in intensive cultivation was found in Iran, Oman and ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how circular economy (CE) practices relate to supply chain resilience (SCRES), focusing on the capability‐based mechanisms through which CE strategies may influence resilience outcomes. Drawing on survey data from 125 Italian firms engaged in CE initiatives, we employ partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐
