Can Extensive Grassland Management Pay Off for Farmers Facing Drought Risks? A Cumulative Prospect Theory‐Based Approach

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 652-676, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Grasslands in Central Europe are increasingly affected by droughts, leading to lower hay yields and reduced profits for dairy farmers. The insurance hypothesis suggests that extensively managed, species‐rich grassland is more drought resistant than intensively managed grassland.

Production Performance and Ameliorative Effects of Switchgrass on Severely Saline‐Alkali Land in Coastal Areas of China

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Switchgrass cultivation sustained biomass production while rapidly improving soil structure and reducing salinity in coastal saline‐alkali soils. These changes reshaped microbial communities through environmental filtering, establishing plant‐soil‐microbe feedbacks that support both bioenergy production and ecological restoration.

Machining Simulation of Recrystallized SiC: Failure Mechanisms, Numerical Influences, Tool Dynamics, and Friction Behavior

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a comprehensive study on the machining simulation of recrystallized silicon carbide (R‐SiC), with a focus on material failure mechanisms, numerical influences, tool kinematics, and frictional behavior. A representative volume of interest was derived from CT data, and a meshing algorithm for CT‐based structures was ...

Grassland age and local adaptation shape drought resilience across semi‐natural grassland populations

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3646-3660, June 2026.
Field sampling sites and mesocosm experimental design. Summary Increasing frequency and intensity of droughts threaten grassland ecosystems. Semi‐natural grasslands vary in age from ancient to younger sites established on former arable land. While species richness and composition are known to affect drought resilience, little is known about how ...
