Estimating the amount of British Columbia’s “big-treed” old growth: Navigating messy indicators
Published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
British Columbia’s (BC) diverse forest ecosystems include highly productive old growth with global importance for carbon storage and biodiversity. Current estimates of the remaining amount of “big-treed” old growth vary 10-fold, creating uncertainty that challenges provincial attempts to shift management policy toward ecological integrity. This unc...
How to Alleviate Feelings of Crowding in a Working from Home Environment: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic
The sudden adoption of working from home (WFH) during the COVID-19 pandemic has required the reconfiguration of home spaces to fit space for remote work into existing spaces already filled with other domestic functions. This resulted in blurring of home and work boundaries, the potential lack of space for telecommuting from home, and telecommuters’...
Metabolite profiling and transcriptome analyses provide insight into the regulatory network of graft incompatibility in ...
Published in Frontiers in Genetics
Litchi is an important commercial fruit crop widely grown in the world. Graft incompatibility between rootstocks and scions is a major constraint for large-scale cultivation of litchi orchards, popularization of new and excellent litchi varieties, and associated industrial development. Further, the genetic mechanism of graft incompatibility is stil...
Nexus between agriculture productivity and carbon emissions a moderating role of transportation; evidence from China
Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science
This research investigates the nexus existing between agricultural productivity and CO2 emissions under the moderating effect of transportation within the context of China. The data for this study are drawn from the World Bank and cover the period 1991–2019. The data is analyzed using an autoregressive distributed lag approach (ARDL). Agricultural ...
Temporal stability of productivity is associated with complementarity and competitive intensities in intercropping.
Published in Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America
Year-to-year stability in crop production is a crucial aspect of feeding a growing global population. Evidence from natural ecosystems shows that increasing plant diversity generally increases the temporal stability of productivity; however, we have little knowledge of the mechanisms by which diversity affects stability. In fact, understanding the ...
The productive performance of intercropping
Crop diversification has been put forward as a way to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture without penalizing its productivity. In this context, intercropping, the planned combination of two or more crop species in one field, is a promising practice. On an average, intercropping saves land compared with the component sole crops, but it re...
La comunicación como recurso para optimizar relaciones laborales e incrementar la productividad
The socio-contractual conditions and the corporate image that characterize a certain organization, as well as the means that it possesses and uses to develop the talent of its workers, and so that they feel true members of an organization that seeks mutual benefit, everyone, and not mere workers, makes the difference between this and that other com...
