Kenyan Farmers' Policy Priorities During Economic Crisis and Stability: Insights From a Best‐Worst Scaling Experiment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

Analisis Karakteristik Curah Hujan pada Kawasan Hunian dan Komersial Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) 2 Cluster “C”

Jurnal Serambi Engineering, 2019
Based on the hydrological cycle, one of the main water sources is rainwater. weather or climate conditions that occur will greatly affect the nature and condition of a rain or rainy season. On a global scale, the existence of water naturally is constant,

Continental-scale impacts of intra-seasonal rainfall variability on simulated ecosystem responses in Africa [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Climate change is expected to modify intra-seasonal rainfall variability, arising from shifts in rainfall frequency, intensity and seasonality. These intra-seasonal changes are likely to have important ecological impacts on terrestrial ecosystems.

Back to basics: measuring rainfall at sea. Part 1 - in situ sensors [PDF]

, 2002
Rainfall is an important climatic variable. Extremes in rainfall accumulations over land - either floods or droughts - have major societal implications and are obvious.

Adapting to Changing Rainfall and Developing Off‐Farm Employment: Implications for the Adoption of Direct Seeding in Rice Production

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.

Rainfall pattern impact on runoff and sediment of the sloping cropland in Northeast China

Soil and Water Research
Rainfall is a major contributor to water erosion of sloping cropland in Northeast China. Identifying how rainfall and slope gradient (S) influence runoff depth (RD) and sediment yield (SY) is crucial for preventing water erosion.

Intensity and continuity of rainfall in Iraq

Kufa Journal of Arts, 2017
تعني الأمطار الغزيرة كمية المطر التي تهطل خلال فترة زمنية معينة، ويتم التعبير عنها بعدة مصطلحات، منها شدة المطر أو غزارته أو قوة انهماره. تعد شدة أو غزارة الأمطار من الأمور المهمة التي تلفت انتباه المهندسين والهيدرولوجيين، لما لها من ارتباط بشروط التربة والمياه الجوفية، وكذلك الغطاء النباتي الطبيعي.

Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the evolving temperature sensitivity and climate adaptation of cereal yields in Italy from 1952 to 2023, using province‐level data for maize, common wheat, and durum wheat. Employing panel data econometric methods, we estimate yield responses to heat exposure, changes in sensitivity over time, and adaptation to climate ...
