Agriculture contributes trillions of dollars to the US economy each year. Digital technologies are disruptive forces in agriculture. The open source movement is beginning to emerge in agriculture technology and has dramatic implications for…
Policies to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss often assume that protecting carbon-rich forests provides co-benefits in terms of biodiversity, due to the spatial congruence of carbon stocks and biodiversity at biogeographic…
The ability of grains to rotate can play a crucial role on the collective behavior of granular media. It has been observed in computer simulations that imposing a torque at the contacts modifies the force chains, making support chains less…
Land Carbon verification has long been a challenge in the carbon credit market. Carbon verification methods currently available are expensive, and may generate low-quality credit. Scalable and accurate remote sensing techniques enable new…
Models of soil organic carbon (SOC) frequently overlook the effects of spatial dimensions and microbiological activities. In this paper, we focus on two reaction-diffusion chemotaxis models for SOC dynamics, both supporting…
CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technology is likely to be widely deployed in coming decades in response to major climate and economics drivers: CCS is part of every clean energy pathway that limits global warming to 2C or less and receives…
Previous research indicates that zero tillage technology offers a profitable alternative to crop residue burning, with significant potential to reduce agricultural emissions and contribute to improvements in air quality and public health.…
Storage is vital to power systems as it provides the urgently needed flexibility to the system. Meanwhile, it can contribute more than flexibility. In this paper, we study the possibility of utilizing storage system for carbon emission…
In this study three soil ecosystems, that differ in the type of management, have been compared in the attempt to understand if and how anthropogenic action affects them. The structure of the corresponding food webs was analyzed and their…
Consider a free-space settlement with a closed ecosystem. Controlling the habitat's carbon dioxide level is a nontrivial problem because the atmospheric carbon buffer per biosphere area is smaller than on Earth. Here we show that the…
The increasing frequency of global climate extremes has significantly impacted the terrestrial carbon cycle. Extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and extreme precipitation pose serious threats to ecosystem carbon…
Soil is a complex, dynamic material, with physical properties that depend on its biological content. We propose a cellular automaton model for self-organizing soil structure, where soil aggregates and serves as food for microbial species.…
The agricultural sector is particularly susceptible to the impact of climate change. In this paper, I investigate how vulnerability to climate change affects U.S. farms' credit access, and demonstrates that such impact is unequally…
Nitrogen fertilization of boreal forests is investigated in terms of microeconomics, as a tool for carbon sequestration. The effects of nitrogen fertilization's timing on the return rate on capital and the expected value of the timber stock…
Agriculture is a vital sector that significantly contributes to the economy and food security, particularly in regions like Varanasi, India. This paper explores various types of agriculture practiced in the area, including subsistence,…
Agrivoltaic systems represent a key technology for reaching sustainable development goals reducing the completion of land for food versus land for energy. Moreover, agrivoltaic systems are at the centre of the nexus between electricity…
As global climate change and environmental issues escalate, carbon reduction has emerged as a paramount global concern. Agriculture accounts for approximately 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making carbon reduction in this sector…
Compost is used worldwide as a soil conditioner for crops, but its functions have still been explored. Here, the omics profiles of carrots were investigated, as a root vegetable plant model, in a field amended with compost fermented with…
While wind and solar power contribute to sustainability, their intermittent nature poses challenges when integrated into the grid. To mitigate these issues, renewable energy can be combined with coal fired power and hydropower sources to…
Solar Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)-based power generation plants leverage solar irradiation to produce thermal energy, offering a highly compatible renewable technology due to the alignment between solar irradiation temperatures and ORC…
