Low crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa are associated with low fertilizer use. To better understand patterns of, and opportunities for, use, location specific price data may be relevant. We compiled local market for urea fertilizer, a source of inorganic nitrogen, 1729 locations eighteen countries two regions (West East Africa) from 2010-2018 to the spatial variation prices. The average national was lowest Ghana (0.80 USD kg-1), Kenya (0.97 Nigeria (0.99 kg-1). Urea most expensive three...
Abstract Rural populations face a much higher burden of child undernutrition than urban populations, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa, continent where many households still live remote rural areas. Despite this, relatively little research has analyzed nutrition differences across and or gradients remoteness. In this article, we study these Africa by linking spatial data on travel times to centers with 20,000 more people as our measure remoteness Demographic Health Survey covering 74,398...
Abstract The severity of the climate challenge requires a change in response, from an incremental to more far-reaching and radical transformative one. There is also need avoid maladaptation whereby responses risk inadvertently reinforce vulnerability, exposure for some sections society. Innovative technological interventions are critical but enabling social, institutional governance factors actual drivers process. Bringing about this transformation inter- transdisciplinary approaches,...
In order to explore the effects of different irrigation methods on physiological characteristics film free cotton in southern Xinjiang, following experiments were carried out: (1) Different amounts test: 300, 375, 450, 525 and 600 mm (represented by W1, W2, W3, W4 W5) a control (450 for cotton, represented WCK) set; (2) Drip frequency drip 12 times, 10 8 times 6 during growth period (expressed as P12, P10, P8 P6), chlorophyll fluorescence, leaf area index, SPAD, single photosynthesis, stress...
In order to explore the effects of different irrigation methods on physiological characteristics mulch-free cotton in southern Xinjiang, following experiments were carried out: (1) Different amount test: 300, 375, 450, 525, and 600 mm (represented by W1, W2, W3, W4, W5) a control (450 for film-covered cotton, represented WCK) set.

The potential impacts of investing in drought tolerant maize (DTM) 13 countries eastern, southern and western Africa were analyzed through an innovative economic surplus analysis framework, to identify where greatest returns poverty reduction may be achieved. Assuming a full replacement improved varieties with DTM varieties, by 2016 there would gains US$ 907 million over all under conservative yield gains, or 1,535 optimistic gains. Largest terms consumer producers are Nigeria, Zimbabwe...
The lack of timely, high-resolution data on agricultural production is a major challenge in developing countries where such information can guide the allocation scarce resources for food security, investment and other objectives. While much research has suggested that remote sensing potentially help to address these gaps, few studies have indicated immediate potential large-scale estimations over both time space. In this study we described machine learning approach estimate smallholder maize...
Cadmium (Cd), a highly toxic heavy metal for crops in China, poses significant threat to rice cultivation. It is crucial identify the genotypes with robust resistance metals, including Cd, rice. The experiment was conducted examine mitigation effect of silicon (Si) on Cd toxicity levels Se-enriched Z3055B and non-Se-enriched G46B genotypes. A basal dose Si improved growth quality significantly by reducing content roots, stems, leaves grains increased yield, biomass selenium (Se) brown both...
ABSTRACT We investigate how mutual funds with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives vote on shareholder proposals related to executive compensation. Using a sample of 94,695 votes by 2,354 from 2012 2021, we find ESG are 9.4 percent more likely than non-ESG in favor such proposals, the likelihood increases 19.2 for aligning compensation environmental social (ES) objectives. also 14.9 support improve transparency, but only 7.0 about redesigning Our results consistent...

We develop a new measure of contract complexity find relates factors capturing firm as well inclusion provisions address principal-agent conflicts.

Low adoption of sustainable intensification technologies hinders achievement their potential impacts on increasing agricultural productivity. Proper targeting locations to scale-out particular is a key determinant the rate adoption. Targeting with similar biophysical and socio-economic characteristics significantly increases probability Areas are referred as recommendation domains (RDs). This study used geospatial analysis delineate (SRDs) for scaling improved crop varieties good agronomic...
Abstract Understanding and quantifying above-ground carbon stock is critical for assessing the impact of land use choices on emissions which can inform conservation management strategies to protect increase stocks. This study introduces a novel methodology evaluating storage sequestration in Thoria watershed, India, using time-series open-access remotely sensed datasets InVEST (Integrated Valuation Environmental Services Tradeoffs) model. Our spatially explicit analysis examines cover...
Political tensions in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support (RSF) escalated into an armed conflict on 15 April 2023, continues to unfold date. Besides severe humanitarian catastrophe, war disrupted access basic public services constrained markets continued trigger considerable scarcity of life-saving goods services. In this paper, we utilize satellite data (NO2 concentration nightlight intensity) spatial mapping tools provide a swift analysis how has changed...
Nepal was ranked as one of the most climate vulnerable country in world and a better understanding vegetation patterns their transformations is critically needed for environmental studies. Studies have shown that monitoring land use cover changes with conventional ground survey methods are time consuming labor intensive. Remote sensing GIS techniques been widely employed by researchers due to its cost effective, efficient product consistency. This paper illustrates method develop maps 1980s,...
Little is known about the effects of urbanization on women’s attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV). The scarcity empirical studies this relationship can be partly attributed to lack an objective measure levels. In study, we investigate Ethiopian IPV using four continuous measures urbanization: nightlight intensity, distance urban areas, total area within a 10-km radius, and index. These are defined from satellite-based nighttime light intensity multispectral sensor data. We find...
Recent progress in large-scale georeferenced data collection is widening opportunities for combining multi-disciplinary datasets from biophysical to socioeconomic domains, advancing our analytical and modeling capacity. Granular spatial provide critical information necessary decision makers identify target areas, assess baseline conditions, prioritize investment options, set goals targets monitor impacts. However, key challenges reconciling across themes, scales borders restrict capacity...
Abstract The intensification of crop production has been identified as one the major drivers environmental degradation. While significant advances could still be made with more widespread adoption sustainable technologies that address agronomic efficiency nitrogen fertilizers, dynamic use agricultural land across seasons and associated crop-specific responses to fertilizer applications have so far largely overlooked. This paper explores potential for improving economic-environmental...
