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.

A hydrographic dataset of the Wadden Sea as a foundation for a digital twin of the coastal ocean

Scientific Data
The Wadden Sea stretches along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark in Western Europe. As the world’s largest coherent channel-shoal environment and as a UNESCO world heritage site, managing economic and political interests is complex. All

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 ...

Asymmetric morphodynamics of the Wadden Sea

Communications Earth & Environment
Shallow coastal systems with tidal flats and barrier islands are valuable assets to coastal protection and unique habitats with thriving biodiversity. Sea level rise threatens to diminish these systems unless sediment accretion compensates submergence ...

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

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

American 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 ...

Species, sampling method and location affect eel eDNA detection in a turbid lowland lake [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics
Biodiversity is declining in freshwater ecosystems, increasing the need for efficient monitoring tools. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful approach for detecting aquatic species, but sampling methodology can influence detection outcomes.
