frontiermetrics: An R Package for Characterizing Deforestation Frontiers

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation frontiers are major drivers of biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and ecosystem degradation, yet our understanding of how deforestation progresses in these frontiers is limited. We present frontiermetrics, an R package to quantify a range of metrics describing the speed, severity, and spatio‐temporal patterns of forest loss. The package

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Living Through a Changing Climate: Stress, Trauma, and Gendered Resilience Among Women in Coastal and Northern Ghana

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping everyday life in Ghana through coastal erosion, flooding, erratic rainfall, water scarcity, extreme heat, and agricultural insecurity. This study examines how these changes produce stress, trauma, and gendered resilience among women in Salakope and Choggu Yapalsi, two climate‐vulnerable communities in coastal and ...

Evaluation of Selected Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Lines for Yield and Haulm Nutritive Quality Traits

International Journal of Agronomy, 2017
Groundnut, the most important grain legume in Ghana, is largely cultivated under rainfed conditions within the Guinea savanna zone of the country. The pods and haulms are important sources of income for smallholder farmers in the region.

Comparative evaluation of nonlinear disease progress models for quantitative assessment of peanut leafspot disease

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Leafspot disease causes up to 70% yield losses in peanut production areas across the globe. One way to curb this menace is to use leafspot resistant peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties. In breeding for disease resistance, quantitative characterization

Suitability mapping for alternative crops: A consistent, high-resolution approach for the United States

Nature-Based Solutions
Alternative crops are a key aspect of many nature-based solutions in agriculture, and there is a need for more consistent geographic information on biophysical suitability to aid in both farm-level planning and larger-scale analyses.
