Chain Reactions: How Businesses Plan to Respond to the EU Deforestation Regulation in Brazil, the Congo Basin, and Europe

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2023 European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐free Products (EUDR) is a transnational regulation aimed at addressing forest loss along the value chains of forest‐risk commodities. Grounding our analysis in new institutional theory with distinct behavioral drivers explaining actor behavior, and using qualitative methods, we draw on the ...

Internet Use, Farm Investment, and Non‐Farm Employment: Evidence From Thailand and Vietnam

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Internet usage has increased rapidly in rural Southeast Asia. However, the links among internet use, the growth of non‐farm sectors, and investment in agriculture remain insufficiently studied. This paper examines (i) the impact of internet use on rural non‐farm employment and non‐farm income of rural households, and (ii) the impact of non ...

Managing carbon sinks in rubber (Hevea brasilensis) plantation by changing rotation length in SW China.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Extension of the rotation length in forest management has been highlighted in Article 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol to help the countries in their commitments for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. CO2FIX Model Ver.3.2 was used to examine the dynamics of

How Well Can Words Capture Facial Appearance? A Cross‐Linguistic Exploration

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract When describing faces, people often struggle with verbalizing facial features. Free descriptions seem to focus predominantly on aspects of faces that are inferred, for example, psychological traits, age, attractiveness, and so on, whereas facial features themselves are often described in a limited and imprecise fashion.

Soil Health of Rubber Plantations in Southern Côte D'ivoire: The Case of Cnra Anguédédou Rubber Plantations

International Journal of Plant & Soil Science
The rubber tree, a species of Amazonian forest tree, is cultivated for its natural rubber-rich latex. Its cultivation is of economic, social, climatic and environmental importance. However, it has been criticized as a soil-destroying crop. To clear up this ambiguity, a study was launched to assess the health of soils under rubber cover in southern Côte

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 984-1004, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Key Drivers of Soil CO2, CH4, and N2O Fluxes in Conifer and Broadleaf Afforestation Systems in the Southeastern U.S.: A Machine Learning Analysis

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Soil CO2 and CH4 emissions were higher in broadleaf than conifer afforestation systems in the southeastern U.S., particularly during the growing season. Machine learning analyses identified soil temperature, moisture, and atmospheric conditions as key drivers, emphasizing that soil greenhouse gas responses critically influence the climate mitigation ...
