The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Evaluation of Traditional and Conservation Tillage Methods for Cereal Cultivation in Central Italy

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
In Central Italy, traditional soil tillage for winter cereal cultivation is based on medium depth ploughing followed by soil surface harrowing. Such method may cause undesired effects on soil fertility, surface erosion and energy costs.

Ecosystem openness to nitrogen and phosphorus controlled by fertilisation, mowing and plant diversity in a grassland

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem openness to nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is determined by the balance of N and P inputs (e.g. fertiliser) and outputs (biomass removal). Plant biodiversity enhances nutrient use efficiency due to species' complementary uptake driven by their variation in ...

CFD–DEM-Based Analysis and Optimization of Biomimetic Jet Hole Design for Pneumatic Subsoiling Performance

open access: yesAgriculture
Subsoiling can break the plough pan and improve the root growth environment. The effect of the traditional subsoiler is poor, as it relies only on the chisel tine, but pneumatic subsoiling can improve the soil structure more efficiently through the ...

Investigating Soil Adhesion and Antiadhesion Performance of Nonsmooth Subsoiler Surfaces

open access: yesJournal of Engineering
Soil adhesion is one of the main factors affecting the working resistance and energy consumption of agricultural machinery. Many scholars have been doing much research on the method of soil antiadhesion, but the conditions for the occurrence of adhesion ...

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Theorizing Waste as a Technique of Power in Capitalistic Stakeholder Relations

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Waste is an important socio‐ecological challenge of contemporary capitalism, contributing to climate change and environmental degradation. Despite its pervasiveness and its impacts on diverse stakeholders, it yet remains largely underexplored in management and organization studies.
