DOI: 10.1007/s11368-020-02631-1
Abstract: Purpose There have been many studies about the effects of long-term fertilizations on crop yields and soil organic carbon. However, little attention has been paid to the response of soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12571-021-01211-6
Abstract: This paper advances previous literature that has posited a climate-nutrition link without identifying a specific pathway via agriculture. We measure the specific effects of exposure to extreme heat on maize yields in Tanzania, and then… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2019.02.023
Abstract: Abstract Climate change and recurring mid-season dry spells have resulted in perennial droughts and poor yields in most smallholder farming areas located in marginal arid to semi-arid lands (ASAL) of Zimbabwe where they are dependent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl087004
Abstract: Understanding what causes weather‐related stresses that lead to crop failures is a critical step toward stabilizing global food production. While there are many sources of weather‐related stresses, the 30–60 days of Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) is… read more here.
