Alternative Policy Designs to Help Farmers Select Profitable Conservation Practices

Agribusiness, 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 ...

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Are crop yields limited by pollinators? Proper assessments using pollinator gradients require measurements of flower density and yield potential

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is widely documented that many crops depend on animal—and primarily insect—pollination, but the degree to which pollinators limit yield in comparison with other factors is poorly understood.

First Records of the Adventive Pseudoanthidium nanum (Mocsáry) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in Illinois and Minnesota, with Notes on its Identification and Taxonomy [PDF]

, 2019
We report the first records of Pseudoanthidium nanum (Mocsáry) in Illinois and Minnesota in 2016 and 2018, respectively. This represents a relatively rapid expansion since P. nanum was first detected in New Jersey in 2008.

Concurrent Measurement of O2 Production and Isoprene Emission During Photosynthesis: Pros, Cons and Metabolic Implications of Responses to Light, CO2 and Temperature

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional leaf gas exchange experiments have focused on net CO2 exchange (Anet). Here, using California poplar (Populus trichocarpa), we coupled measurements of net oxygen production (NOP), isoprene emissions and δ18O in O2 to traditional CO2/H2O gas exchange with chlorophyll fluorescence, and measured light, CO2 and temperature response ...

Where Can Aluminum Go When Batteries Die?

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
Battery‐derived aluminum is transformed from contaminated waste into an alloying resource for high‐performance Fe‐based alloys. Through controlled Al content and processing, dual‐phase austenite/ferrite microstructures with TRIP‐like behavior are achieved.

Landowners' cognitions and motivations coupled with practice durability influence persistence in grazing agricultural conservation practices in southwest Virginia

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Efficacy of agricultural conservation practices may be improved by promoting their continued use by landowners (i.e., persistence) after cost‐share contracts with government agencies end. Many social, ecological, and institutional factors influence a landowner's decision to choose persistence at the conclusion of cost‐share funding, and these factors ...
