High-resolution digital mapping of soil erodibility in China

Geoderma
Soil erodibility (K) is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to water erosion. Currently, its detailed and accurate spatial distribution information especially over large areas is urgently required for national and regional soil erosion assessment and ...

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

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

American 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. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Effects of initial soil moisture on rill erodibility and critical shear stress factors in the WEPP model across diverse soil types

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
Rill erosion, a significant issue in agricultural regions, is intricately linked to initial soil moisture conditions, affecting the development of concentrated flow erosion processes.

Comparison of potential and real erodibility of soil by wind

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2007
Areas the most susceptible to wind erosion were chosen for the comparison of potential and real erodibility of soil by wind. All the areas are located in the Southern Moravia, the south-east of the Czech Republic.

Master narratives as “colonial propaganda” and counternarratives as “refusal”: How African Australians reimagine racial dignity in Australia

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper utilizes the concept of “colonial master narratives” to examine how racial propaganda is mobilized in the Australian imaginary to “flatten” the stories of Blac/k people and how African Australians deploy counternarratives to reject these racialized projections.

SPATIAL MAPPING AND ASSESSMENT OF SOIL ERODIBILITY USING GIS IN THE MIDDLE OF ERBIL PROVINCE

The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science
This study aimed to estimate soil erodibility in the middle of Erbil province. The results of indirect methods were compared with the observed K-factor in order to determine the most suitable method. The tests were carried out for nine soil locations by

Erosion in living soil and life in eroded soil

, 2019
The relationship between erosion and biodiversity is reciprocal. Soil organisms can both reduce soil loss, by improving porosity, and increase it, by diminishing soil stability as a result of their mixing activities. Simultaneously, soil runoff has ecological impacts on belowground communities. Despite these obvious interactions, soil erosion models do

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...
