AI‐Enhanced Laser Manufacturing: A Social Life Cycle Perspective From the White Goods Industry

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable manufacturing transitions require companies to demonstrate not only environmental and economic benefits, but also measurable advances in corporate social responsibility (CSR). Therefore, we propose using a guideline‐based Social Life Cycle Assessment (S‐LCA) aligned with UNEP (2020) and ISO 14075 (2024) to evaluate the social ...

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

Variable Rate Irrigation: A Long‐Term Simulated and Field Data Analyses of Irrigation Practices, Field Variability, Economic Feasibility and Profitability

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term economic analyses of variable rate irrigation (VRI) strategies were performed compared with uniform irrigation management (UIM) in a reference production field using the AquaCrop model. Five strategies to trigger irrigation were as follows: (Field Capacity‐VRI, Driest Soil Trigger‐VRI, Water Mining‐VRI, Conventional Uniform ...
