Impact of soil tillage and land use on soil organic carbon decline under Mediterranean conditions [PDF]
, 2012 Soils under Mediterranean climate conditions frequently have low to very low levels of soil organic matter (SOM), as a result of low biomass production under the predominantly rainfed conditions and the intensive tillage operations commonly practiced. In

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

Assessment of tillage systems in organic farming: influence of soil structure on microbial biomass. First results [PDF]
, 2007 Soil tillage modifies environmental conditions of soil microorganisms and their ability to release nitrogen. We compare the influence of reduced tillage (RT) and mouldboard ploughing (MP) on the soil microbial functioning in organic farming.

Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Unpacking the Farmland Capitalization Effect of Ethanol Establishment
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We unpack the impact of expansions in ethanol production—as measured by proximity to newly constructed ethanol plants and capacity expansions—on farmland values using land transaction data from Kansas in combination with modern causal inference techniques.
