Premium subsidy designs and crowding out of insurance demand
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is an important instrument to protect farmers against extreme weather events. Many countries provide subsidies for crop insurance products to make insurance more affordable for farmers. The Federal Crop Insurance Program in the United States and major European crop insurance programs such as in Spain, Italy, and France focus on ...

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.

Weather and Climate ExtremesThe interannual variability of Meiyu-Baiu rainfall has amplified in recent decades. Observational and modeling efforts have revealed large-scale circulations could affect variability of Meiyu-Baiu rainfall by altering moisture sources and transport ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Rainfall Variability along the Southern Flank of the Bambouto Mountain(West-Cameroon) [PDF]
, 2009 This paper presents the rainfall variability along the southern flank of the Bambouto mountain. Data were collected from rain gauges, while spatial variability was estimated through daily recorded data. Monthly and annual data were used to draw isohyetes

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise In semiarid ecosystems such as the Brazilian Caatinga, physical seed dormancy (PY) is critical for plant persistence when water is unpredictable, but how soil moisture and temperature regulate PY release and seed longevity in species of native Fabaceae that have different growth forms is unknown. Methods Seeds of the herbaceous species
