Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

The Canopy Structure and Its Impact on Hydrological Performance of Five Local Trees Species Grown in the Purwodadi Botanic Garden

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Life Science, 2017
The hydrological performance of individual tree can be estimated by measuring the stem flow, throughfall and rainfall interception. Water distribution through tree canopy is affected by tree architectural model and another tree’s morphology.

Seasonal variation in wind speed and oceanic salt spray favors delayed reproduction in coastal yellow monkeyflowers

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The optimal timing of reproduction depends on the relative risk and benefit of continued growth. These risks and benefits depend on the local environment, which varies seasonally. While temperature and water availability are well‐studied selective agents on reproductive timing, less is known about other seasonally variable factors ...

Measuring and Modelling Evaporation Losses from Wet Branches of Lemon Trees

open access: yesHydrology, 2022
Evaporation losses of rainfall intercepted by canopies depend on many factors, including the temporal scale of observations. At the event scale, interception is a few millimetres, whereas at a larger temporal scale, the number of times that a canopy is ...

Variable grouping patterns in primates: A test of the better competitor hypothesis in male Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.

Effect of rainfall interception and resting period on the soil seed bank

open access: yesFrontiers in Agronomy
The ecosystems across the world are affected by diverse impacts of climate change. Climate change will also affect soil seed bank as the seed bank is determined by the plants that are above the ground.

Towards a Socially Inclusive Circular Economy: Evidence From Social Enterprises in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) and social entrepreneurship (SE) are increasingly recognised as critical pathways for sustainable development, yet CE research often underplays social inclusion, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs).

The effect of vegetation canopy on canopy storage capacity with different rainfall intensity

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Canopy Interception is one of the vital component in hydrological cycle and underestimating the interception process can significantly affect the water balance.

Sustainable and Resilient Supply Networks: Digitalisation, Regulation and Climate Vulnerability in a Global Context

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing frequency of global crises has intensified concerns regarding climate vulnerability and the resilience of global production systems. This study examines the heterogeneous effects of supply chain development and supply chain digitalisation on climate vulnerability across countries, while accounting for institutional and investment ...

The Heat Is On: Climate Change–Related Challenges and SMEs' R&D Activities

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Investing in R&D is a key way for small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop capabilities that are required to respond to climate change–related challenges. However, the extent to which such challenges affect SMEs' R&D activities remains a critical gap in the literature.
