Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Effect of UHMWPE Incorporation on the Tribological Performance of Carbon fiber‐Reinforced PEEK Nanocomposites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
UHMWPE provides interfacial lubrication, improving tribological performance of PEEK‐based sliding bearing bushings. ABSTRACT Ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was incorporated into a PEEK‐based hybrid material as a lubrication additive to improve the friction and wear performance of the composite due to its superior lubricity ...

Deciphering the Palimpsest: Chronological Uncertainty and the Interpretation of Mining Landscapes at Písečný vrch (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the Písečný vrch (Czech Republic), a site exploited for quartz mining in both prehistoric times and the 20th century. Due to their morphological similarity across all mining periods, the differentiation between pits with archaeological potential and recent ones is challenging.

Effects of ploughing and mulching on soil and organic matter losses after a wildfire in Central Portugal

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020
Los incendios forestales suelen incrementar la escorrentía superficial, la erosión del suelo y de la materia orgánica asociada. Técnicas como el labrado o el acolchado de restos forestales han sido realizadas en Portugal para mitigar estos efectos, pero ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

From Managing Innovation to Governing Value: Reconceptualizing the Role of Intellectual Property in the Sustainable Business Model

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of intellectual property (IP) in promoting or hindering sustainable innovation now forms a topical issue in innovation management. Its role in the sustainable business model remains imperfectly understood however, creating a simplified view of IP in relation to corporate sustainable development. Hence, this study sought to examine how

Eco‐Efficient in Mediterranean Olive Grove Systems: Insights From a Life Cycle Cost Analysis in Southern Portugal

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses and compares the eco‐efficiency of six olive production systems in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal, employing a life cycle costing (LCC) approach directly integrated with a prior life cycle assessment (LCA). Although LCC has been increasingly applied to Mediterranean olive‐growing, empirical research in Portugal ...

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 ...
