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 ...

Deforestation and Efficiency: Insights From Forest Transition in the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper estimates technical efficiency (TE) and environmental efficiency (EE) of agricultural production at the municipal level of the Brazilian Cerrado in 2006 and 2017, and investigates their underlying mechanisms in relation to forest transition theory.

Borosulfates Hosting Se42+ Ions—Crystal Structures, Chemical Bonding, Optical Spectroscopy, and Magnetism

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Apart from (transition) metal (oxo)halides only few hosts stabilize chalcogenide cations in purely oxoanionic coordination environment. Herein, we report on five borosulfates containing the Se42+ ion and characterize the compounds using X‐ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations along with magnetic

Reduced‐Port Versus Multi‐Port Laparoscopic Colectomy for Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review, Meta‐Analysis, and Meta‐Regression

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Reduced‐port laparoscopic colectomy (RPLC) for colorectal cancer offers modest intraoperative benefits, including shorter operative time and lower blood loss, while maintaining comparable postoperative recovery, lymph node yield, and complication rates to multi‐port laparoscopic colectomy (MPLC).

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

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...

Effect of Yield Character of Normal Tillers on Appearance of Upper Nodal Tillers for Directly Sown Flooded Paddy Rice [PDF]

open access: yes
湛水直播水稲において,高位分げつが出現した分げつと出現しなかった分げつの収量関連形質を比較した。播種様式を点播とし,苗立ち密度50本/m2(低苗立ち密度)の50本区および100本/m2(適正苗立ち密度)の100本区の2区を設けた。両区とも高位分げつが多く出現し,その出現数は50本区で78.5本/m2および100本区で93.5本/m2であった。両区とも出現した高位分げつの殆どがbT3(止葉節から出現した分げつをbT1とし,求基的に示した分げつ位)とbT4であった。高位分げつが出現した分げつの方が ...

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...
