“…We disentangle the effects of climate change from those of agricultural practices using a multiple linear regression analysis. Note that soil properties, microclimate and topography intrinsically affect soil moisture content 12 and may vary from county to county due to heterogeneity in the environmental conditions; their effects on soil water content may overshadow the effects induced by agricultural practices 12 27 . We define the variable “county effect” ( C m ) to account for differences in soil moisture level caused by differences in the environmental conditions across different counties/stations.…”

“…Excessive fertilizer use can increase water consumption and deplete soil moisture as revealed by our results ( Fig 2a ), while having little impact on crop yield 37 . In addition, fertilizer use and other agricultural practices may aggravate soil salinity and soil compaction, leading to decrease of infiltration rates and soil water holding capacity 12 , which further limits the available soil water.…”

“…Contrary to what is conventionally believed, 'offshore' spaces of finance did not come about simply as a means to avoid or evade taxation (Palan and Nestetailova, 2014). Such spaces owe their existence to the development of the Euromarkets in London in the 1950s, described earlier, which required a novel space in which to conduct transactions in currencies other than that of the host market (Shaxson, 2011). While the UK authorities were looking the other way, so to speak, US banks in London in particular took full advantage of the fact that the 'offshore' status of the Euromarkets enabled them to behave as if they were conducting business 'elsewhere'; that is, beyond the regulatory reach of the US authorities.…”

“…Results from the region show that CA has immediate biophysical and socio-economic benefits: increased water infiltration into the soil due to the protection of surface structure by mulch (Thierfelder and Wall 2009); reduced water run-off and loss of top soil by maximizing the capture of rainfall through infiltration from the ponding effect of the residues (Thierfelder and Wall 2010a, b;Munyati 1997). Reduced evaporation of soil moisture occurs as the crop residues protect the surface from solar radiation (Lal 1974), leading to an improved crop water balance (Thierfelder and Wall 2009;Shaxson 2003) and less frequent Time (years) 1 9 7 0 1 9 7 2 1 9 7 4 1 9 7 6 1 9 7 8 1 9 8 0 1 9 8 2 1 9 8 4 1 9 8 6 1 9 8 8 1 9 9 0 1 9 9 2 1 9 9 4 1 9 9 6 1 9 9 8 2 0 1970(FAOSTAT 2013 and intense moisture stress because of increased infiltration and reduced evaporation (Mupangwa et al 2008;Thierfelder and Wall 2010a). Soil carbon can be stabilized and in some cases increased (Thierfelder et al 2013b;Thierfelder and Wall 2012), with aggregate stability being greater on CA than conventionally treated control plots.…”
