Organizational separateness and general manager turnover: Behavioral theory in the international context

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Under what conditions do headquarters replace the general manager (GM) of an underperforming subsidiary? We argue that translating performance feedback into managerial intervention requires an inferential step the behavioral theory of the firm has only partially theorized.

A Coupled AquaCrop–Richards Model for Improved Crop Yield Prediction Through Physically Based Soil Water Dynamics

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop modelling is essential for agricultural water management but often relies on simplified water balance routines that limit representation of soil moisture dynamics. To address this limitation, we developed a coupled model that integrates the 1‐D Richards equation, solved using a finite difference method into the FAO AquaCrop.

Plant Trait‐ and Soil‐Mediated Responses of Herbaceous Aboveground Biomass Across Community Types Along a Degradation Gradient in the Desert Steppe

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grassland degradation profoundly alters the structure and function of desert steppe ecosystems. However, the responses of herbaceous aboveground biomass (Herb‐AGB) to degradation across different plant community types and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Determining the Optimal Water Storage Depth of Apple Orchards in the Chinese Loess Plateau: Balancing Soil Desiccation Mitigation, Plant Utilization, and Engineering Construction

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...

Rainfall‐Induced Physical Crusting Is Associated With Near‐Surface Structural Degradation and Strain Localization During Drying in Loess Soil

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rainfall‐induced physical crusting is associated with degradation of near‐surface soil structure, but its pore‐scale structural and mechanical evolution during drying remains poorly resolved. We combined time‐resolved X‐ray computed tomography (XCT), digital volume correlation (DVC), and surface‐aligned stratification to track pore ...
