Rhizodeposition Drives One Third of Belowground Carbon Input in Agroecosystems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study quantifies photosynthesized C allocation in the plant–soil system across six crop types: barley, wheat, maize, rice, legumes and grasses. It reports C partitioning into shoot respiration, shoot‐C, root‐C, net rhizodeposition and root‐derived CO2, providing standardized percentage averages and GPP‐derived absolute values as a robust baseline ...

Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Electric Double Layer Engineering Induces O‐Down Interfacial Water Reorientation for Efficient and Long‐Term Seawater Electrolysis

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The additive EDTMPS inhibits hydroxides deposition by chelating with Ca2+/Mg2+. It also disrupts the hydrogen bond network of interfacial water and expands the thickness of electric double layer, promoting more free water to flip into adsorbable O‐down configuration.

Assessing Government Subsidies for Reducing Pesticide Use: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the efforts being made by governments to reduce pesticide use, subsidies are an important instrument to encourage farmers to adopt more sustainable practices. Yet, their effectiveness remains uncertain due to diverse designs and contexts.

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

How Organizations Learn and Innovate to Institutionalize Generative AI: Trust, Feedback Loops, and Cultural Friction

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how organizations advance in their use of Generative AI (GenAI) tools after initial adoption with particular attention to the dynamics of trust, cultural resistance, and feedback mechanisms. Grounded in organizational learning theory and institutional theory, we propose a framework that captures the factors influencing how ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

The ecology of inclusive education reimagined: A framework for research, policy, and practice

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Evidence suggests the educational gap between those who experience success at school and those who do not is growing. Decades of rhetoric, policy and reform have failed to deliver an inclusive form of schooling that meets the learning needs of all students and much of the blame for this is placed at the feet of schools.

Understanding the Indirect Effects of Sustainable HRM: Cognitive and Relational Pathways to Engagement and Performance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how sustainable human resource management (SHRM) influences employee engagement and performance through distinct cognitive and relational mechanisms. While previous research has demonstrated positive associations between SHRM and employee outcomes, the processes through which these effects occur remain insufficiently ...
