Estimating the indices of soil erodibility to wind erosion using pedo- and spectro-transfer functions in calcareous soils

open access: yesGeoderma, 2023
Soil aggregate size and stability are two important factors affecting soil erodibility to wind erosion. In this study, we developed new models to quantify soil erodibility to wind erosion by looking at the mean weighted aggregate diameter (MWD) and the ...

On the Economics of US Agricultural Policy

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an economic analysis of US agricultural policy, building on a modified version of Gardner's efficient redistribution. We argue that agricultural policy is motivated as an attempt to implement an efficient redistribution scheme that redistributes income toward farmers who, as a group, have been adversely affected by ...

Gypsum-based management practices to prevent phosphorus transportation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Phosphogypsum from Siilinjärvi plant were tested in soil incubation-leaching-studies(I), and in liquid pig manure treatment (II) in farm pit. In soil columns, gypsum additions significantly reduced erodibility and ortho-P concentrations in the ...

Invasive earthworms erode soil biodiversity: A meta‐analysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2017
Abstract Biological invasions pose a serious threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across ecosystems. Invasions by ecosystem engineers, in particular, have been shown to have dramatic effects in recipient ecosystems. For instance, invasion by earthworms, a below‐ground invertebrate ecosystem engineer, in previously earthworm‐free ...

Alternative Policy Designs to Help Farmers Select Profitable Conservation Practices

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary private carbon initiatives (VPCIs) promote the implementation of agricultural conservation practices that mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) via financial incentives to participating farmers. Simultaneously, an array of public policies supports the adoption of conservation practices through technical and financial ...

Peculiarities of experimental assessment of soil erodibility

open access: yesLomonosov Soil Science Journal
The study of erodibility of model soils using the methodology of washing out soil samples with a water stream in a hydrodynamic tube has been carried out. In comparison to the traditional method of vertical loading of cartridges, the new method of soil samples formation using horizontal loading allowed to obtain more homogeneous resistance of samples ...

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

open access: yesAgribusiness, 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.
