Effects of Development Finance on Energy Transitions and Green Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While global agendas promote energy transition and green growth, Africa south of the Sahara (SSA) struggles with low energy access, highlighting a development paradox between climate goals and energy poverty. By aligning aid and development finance with SDGs 7 and 13, we analyze whether development finance is at a crossroads in supporting ...

Opportunities for Australia Amid China's Carbon‐Neutral Transition: Input–Output Approach With Analysis of Australian Renewable Potential

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A major transformation in China's energy mix is underway as the country pursues carbon neutrality by 2060, posing significant structural challenges for Australia as a major exporter of carbon‐intensive resources. This study examines the economic impacts of China's decarbonisation on Australia by applying static and dynamic input–output (IO ...

Nutrient limitation of soil organic carbon stocks under straw return

Straw return has been widely used to increase SOC storage globally, but such C accrual is frequently constrained by other nutrients which are needed to maintain soil ecological stoichiometry balance.

Microbes Drive Straw Decomposition and Microbial Metabolism in Mollisols with Different Straw Return Rates

The process of straw decomposition is highly complex and is regulated by a multitude of interacting factors. However, how the straw return rate influences the metabolic byproducts, extracellular enzymes, and microbial communities during straw ...

From hypothesis testing toward inference to the best explanation: A PEEBI testimonial structure for abductive studies in strategy

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Though scholars employ abduction, there is no agreed‐upon structure to reporting their findings. Moreover, the traditional hypo‐deductive reasoning structure does not align with the epistemology of abduction. We propose an abductive testimonial structure, termed PEEBI, which consists of five sections in which the authors take ...

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Influence of asparagus straw returns associated with vegetable species on microbial diversity in the rhizosphere

Scientific Reports
High-throughput sequencing of the 16 S rRNA gene of bacteria and the 18 S rRNA gene of fungi was employed to characterize the compositional diversity of the rhizosphere microbial community in cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.), bitter gourds (Momordica ...

The Microbial mechanisms of soil organic carbon pool transformation under long-term chemical fertilizer and straw application: Insights from an 18-year field experiment

Industrial Crops and Products
Crop straw return is a widely adopted agricultural practice, yet the effects of 18 years of continuous straw incorporation combined with chemical fertilization on soil organic carbon (SOC) transformation remain poorly understood.
