Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This work reports the design of a multifunctional MnOx support coupled with classic Rh catalytic centers for light‐driven dry reforming of methane. Benefiting from efficient photon‐to‐phonon conversion pathway and a dynamic OL‐OV cycle, the catalyst achieves high syngas production rates and light‐to‐chemical energy efficiency without external heating ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Defect‐Guided Assembly of Aperiodic and Flexible Metal–Organic Frameworks From Pre‐Formed Cages
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A cage‐directed strategy is used to program topologically correlated defects and induce aperiodicity in HKUST‐1‐type MOFs. A missing carboxylate group in the linker drives the formation of Cu‐vacancy domains, while Rh(II) cages spatially confine these defects.
