Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas.

The Social Ecological System

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications, 2018
This paper sheds light on the ecological transition phenomenon by suggesting a sustainable development model. This model demonstrates the different variables that impact the climate which in return suggests actions that ensures a renewal in our way of consuming, producing, working and living together.

Lab Experiments for the Study of Social-Ecological Systems

Science, 2010
Learning to Work Together In group endeavors, there is often a tension between working for the greater good of the group as a whole versus working for one's own benefit. Sometimes these paths coincide and sometimes they do not; furthermore, the choices made by other group members can influence the calculation of which path to ...

Watersheds as Social-Ecological Systems

2016
Watersheds are platforms for interaction of human and natural systems in common scenarios of IWRM. As a discipline, watershed management is similar to IWRM because it also focuses on coordinated management of water, land, and related resources. It builds on watershed science, which explains how watersheds function, and the concept of social-ecological ...
