The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

Reallocation Effects of Internalizing Externalities: Evidence From China's Straw Burning Ban

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the reallocation effects of a typical environmental policy aiming to internalize externalities: the straw burning ban across China. The ban prohibited the traditional farming practice of burning straw while compelling the labour‐intensive practice of straw utilization.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Effect of Sewage Sludge Addition on Potassium Release and Ash Transformation during Wheat Straw Combustion

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
Combustion of wheat straw for heat and power production is often challenging due to ash related problems such as fouling deposition and high temperature corrosion.

Felons’ chattels and English living standards in the later fourteenth and fifteenth centuries

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The later fourteenth and fifteenth centuries have long occupied an intriguing and contested place in discussions of England's long‐run economic development. One key issue around which debate has coalesced is the living standards of the population as a whole and of different groups within it. We contribute to this debate by bringing forward new

Conventional Versus Organic Wheat Production: Implications on Breeding and the Supply Chain

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The majority of the wheat produced worldwide originates from conventional (CON) farming systems. However, EU policies aim to tremendously expand the area dedicated to organic (ORG) farming by 2030, which could affect stakeholders in the wheat supply chain and wheat breeding strategies.

A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

NiO Dissolution in Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Cathodes: Challenges and Strategies for Long‐Term Stability

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 13, 2 July 2026.
Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) enable efficient power generation and CO2 capture but suffer from nickel oxide (NiO) cathode dissolution, which limits lifetime. This review summarizes strategies to mitigate NiO degradation, including coatings, doping, alternative cathode materials, and electrolyte modification.

Civilian Occupational Exposure to Vapors, Gas, Dust, or Fumes and Respiratory Health Among United States Military Veterans

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 7, Page 503-511, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background We investigated associations of self‐reported and job exposure matrix (JEM) assigned civilian occupational exposure to vapors, gas, dust, or fumes (VGDF) with respiratory symptoms among previously deployed US Veterans. Methods An interviewer‐administered questionnaire ascertained self‐reported civilian occupational VGDF exposure.
