Towards actionable farm typologies: Scaling adoption of agricultural inputs in Rwanda by Hammond, James, Rosenblum, Nathaniel, Breseman, Dana, Gorman, Leo, Manners, Rhys, Wijk, Mark T. van, Sibomana, Milindi, Remans, Roseline, Vanlauwe, Bernard, Schut, Marc

“…Rollout of development interventions using a one-size-fits-all model can achieve economies of scale but neglects to account for variability in farm and farmer characteristics. A data-driven approach to incorporate farmer diversity in scaling strategies may help to achieve greater development impact. …”

Towards ecosystem accounts for Rwanda: tracking 25 years of change in flows and potential supply of ecosystem services by Bagstad, K.J., Ingram, J.C., Lange, G., Masozera, M., Ancona, Z.H., Bana, M., Kagabo, D., Musana, B., Nabahungu, N.L., Rukundo, E., Rutebuka, E., Polasky, S., Rugege, D., Uwera, C.

“…Over a 25‐year period, we found declines in all ES, which were most strongly driven by conversion of forests to cropland. Declines were most pronounced from 1990 to 2000 and 2010 to 2015; ES were relatively stable from 2000 to 2010 (with the exception of nutrient exports to water bodies, which jumped most sharply from 2000 to 2010). …”

An architectural understanding of natural sway frequencies in trees by Jackson, T., Shenkin, A., Moore, J., Bunce, A., Emmerik, T. van, Kane, B., Burcham, D., James, K., Selker, J., Calders, K., Origo, N., Disney, M., Burt, A., Wilkes, P., Raumonen, P., González de Tanago Menaca, J., Lau, A., Herold, M., Goodman, R.C., Fourcaud, T., Malhi, Y.

“…We show that (1) residual variation, the variation not explained by the cantilever beam approximation, in fundamental frequencies of broadleaf trees is driven by their architecture; (2) slender trees behave like a simple pendulum, with a single natural frequency dominating their motion, which makes them vulnerable to wind damage and (3) the presence of leaves decreases both the fundamental frequency and the damping ratio. …”

Model Comparison and Quantification of Nitrous Oxide Emission and Mitigation Potential from Maize and Wheat Fields at a Global Scale by Tesfaye, Kindie, Takele, Robel, Sapkota, Tek Bahadur, Khatri-Chhetri, Arun, Solomon, Dawit, Stirling, Clare, Albanito, Fabrizio

“…Irrespective of the models, predicted N2O emissions per hectare were higher in some countries in East and South Asia, North America, and Western Europe, driven mainly by higher N application rates. The study indicated a substantial N2O abatement potential if application of excess N in the maize and wheat systems is reduced without compromising the yield of the crops through technological and crop management innovations. …”
