Abstract: Controlling invasive plants, pests, diseases, and fire is critical for the health of forest ecosystems and important for people who benefit from forest ecosystem services. These forest disturbances are mobile and renewable and can lead to spatial-dynamic externalities if they are suboptimally controlled from a landscape perspective. This may happen when the production and mitigation of such externalities depend on the actions of private forest landowners and managers with different forest ownership motivations and management objectives. In the United States, more than half of forests are owned or managed by private parties for a diverse set of nonmarket ecosystem services (NMES) and market ecosystem services (MES): ...

Abstract: Agricultural runoff significantly contributes to water pollution in large agricultural areas, including the Midwest region of the United States (Liu et al. 2010; Kling et al. 2014; Paudel and Crago 2021; Del Rossi et al. 2023). Climate change exacerbates this problem by intensifying rainfall patterns. Higher temperatures cause increased evaporation, leading to more water vapor in the atmosphere. This results in excessive rainfall, which amplifies leaching of nitrogen (N) from agricultural lands (Jabloun et al. 2015; Mastrocicco et al. 2019; Mo et al. 2022; Shrestha, Masarik, and Kucharik 2023). Such leaching not only reduces crop yields but also contaminates waterways. The greater the amount of N leached, the ... Read More PubDate: 2025-04-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Farmland markets are typically associated with high transaction costs, private valuations, and low and seasonal turnover (Melichar 1984; Featherstone and Baker 1987; Falk 1991, 1992; Just and Miranowski 1993; Shiha and Chavas 1995; Falk and Lee 1998; Chavas and Thomas 1999; Lence and Miller 1999; De Fontnouvelle and Lence 2002; Sherrick and Barry 2003; Deaton and Lawley 2022). These potential inefficiencies are concerning for two reasons: farmland accounts for a large share of the value of the sector’s assets (USDA 2024), and the U.S. farmland market experienced pronounced periods of boom and bust in the 1910s and 1980s. As a result, farmland owners are often concerned about the potential for a large-scale decline ... Read More PubDate: 2025-04-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: How will climate change affect the agricultural sector'1 Given the centrality of food production to societal well-being, the answer to this question is of broad interest. Importantly, as highlighted in a recent report by the Intergovernmental Pannel on Climate Change, the effects of climate change are expected to be asymmetrical across regions (IPCC 2023). Canada, the focus of this article, is the eighth largest agricultural exporter in the world and plays an important role in global food production (AAFC 2021). Therefore, understanding the effects of climate change on the Canadian agricultural sector is an important and ongoing consideration.We assess the effect of climate change on the Canadian agricultural ...

Abstract: To halt biodiversity loss, countries participating in the 2022 United Nations Biodiversity Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) agreed to increase protected land and sea areas to 30% by 2030.1 Historical conservation efforts have mainly focused on areas with low economic value, but new initiatives are increasingly targeting economically productive lands. Previous studies have argued that the economic benefits of conservation outweigh its costs (Waldron et al. 2020). However, progress in increasing the coverage of protected areas has been slow, possibly because conservation may not benefit all parties. Understanding the distributional impacts of biodiversity protection is ... Read More PubDate: 2025-04-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Agricultural production contributes significantly to nonpoint-source pollution in surface waterways throughout the United States. It is estimated that agricultural crop and livestock production accounts for 92% of the total nitrogen (N) and 80% of the total phosphorus (P) loadings in Iowa waterways (IDALS and CALS 2017), leading to dead zones and harmful algal blooms in the Gulf of Mexico (Rabalais et al. 2007; Diaz and Rosenberg 2008; Scavia et al. 2017). Achieving a goal of agricultural sustainability in the United States relies largely on farmers’ voluntary conservation efforts (Reimer 2015). Agricultural conservation practices are those farming operations designed to improve environmental performance with ... Read More PubDate: 2025-04-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Governments at all levels have invested billions in agricultural conservation programs to reduce nonpoint-source water pollution and enhance environmental benefits (Mezzatesta, Newburn, and Woodward 2013; Claassen, Duquette, and Smith 2018; Fleming, Lichtenberg, and Newburn 2018; Rosenberg and Pratt 2024). U.S. federal spending on all voluntary conservation programs has increased over time from around $3 billion a year between 1996 and 2002 to approximately $6 billion a year from 2008 to present ($2021) (USDA Economic Research Service 2024). In the state of Pennsylvania, our study region, annual spending to meet Chesapeake Bay clean-up requirements is estimated at around $375 million ($2010) (Kaufman et al. 2014). ...
