“…Yet when drained, tilled, limed, and cropped, they are also prone to oxidation and subsidence. These biophysical processes can harm the environment in a variety of ways, including by releasing a substantial amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere [13][14][15][16]. To reduce these emissions, producers could adopt alternative conservation farming practices like zero tillage or cover crops, but such practices are comparatively rare on productive histosol soils.…”

Conservation outreach that acknowledges human contributions to climate change does not inhibit action by U.S. farmers: Evidence from a large randomized controlled trial embedded in a federal program on soil health

Technologies and practices that reduce the environmental impacts of US agriculture are well documented. Less is known about how best to encourage their adoption. We report on the results of a large randomized controlled trial conducted with nearly 10,000 agricultural producers in the United States. The experiment was embedded in US Department of Agriculture outreach efforts to improve soil conservation practices. USDA varied the content of mailings to test two sets of competing theories about outreach to agricultural producers. Contrary to conventional wisdom, we find no evidence that acknowledging the link between climate change and agricultural production discourages conservation action. Furthermore, we find that producers who were invited to a webinar were less likely to take any action to learn more about conservation practices than producers who were not told about the webinar, a result that runs counter to the popular wisdom that offering more options leads to more action.

“…Taking into account the results of analytical studies, the study of climatic changes at both the regional and local levels is relevant today, so it is important to achieve our goal to trace the deviation trends of the main climatic parameters on the territory of individual regions and even settlements [3,4,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Modern agricultural production is under the direct influence of climatic changes, which is also reflected in the water regime formation of the soil during the cultivation of crops. Calculations were made and graphical materials were created for average daily, average decadal, and average monthly values of temperatures and the amount of precipitation per day, month, and year. The influence of modern climatic factors on the water regime formation of the soil (according to the data of the weather station of the city of Kovel, Volyn region) over the last 11-year period has been established. It was determined that the distribution of precipitation is as follows: the share of light precipitation (< 3 mm) is on average 13.9%, moderate (4–14 mm) is 43.3%, significant (15–49 mm) is 36.4%, strong (50–79 mm) is 5.4%, and extraordinary (80–100 mm) is 1% of the total amount. It was determined that the active layer of the soil is formed due to the influence of moderate and significant precipitation. Informational materials on the distribution of atmospheric precipitation by year in quantitative and percentage indicators and their repeatability are presented in an interactive visual report with graphic materials (dashboard), which allows the processing of large arrays of data. It was determined that modern climatic changes (increased air temperature, uneven distribution, change in the nature, intensity, and structure of precipitation, and the increase in the number of cases of heavy downpours that are local in the warm period of the year) don’t allow for the effective accumulation of moisture in the active soil layer. The obtained information materials are the basis for developing a methodology for substantiating the parameters of the management of the soil-water regime on reclaimed lands, taking into account the peculiarities of its formation in modern economic conditions and climate changes.

“…Therefore, various models to predict effect variability of climatic factors and variables are used ( Cui et al., 2017 ; Javari, 2017a ; Läderach et al., 2017 ; Li et al., 2017 ). In recent years, various CPSRM have been applied in analyzing effect of climatic factors and variables on spatiotemporal levels checking numerous effects in the climate system ( Javari, 2017d ; Azari et al., 2017 ; Untenecker et al., 2017 ; Ciervo et al., 2017 ; Wang et al., 2017a ). However, there are studying facts displaying that climatic variables and suitable factors were not studied ( Wang et al., 2017a , b ; Hermwille et al., 2017 ; Frankel et al., 2009 ; Howarth et al., 2017 ).…”

Causal analysis (CA) is a strong quantitative approach whose mechanisms have climatic predictions. In this study, we studied the patterns of causality (PC) on the effect of rainfall (ER) using climatic series collected from 170 stations for the period 1975–2014 in Iran. Next, we predicted the causal relationships of climatic variables using causal models, including first-generation techniques (FGT), second-generation techniques (SGT), third-generation techniques (TGT), and causal hybrid techniques (CHT). Then, we estimated the causal models using partial squares algorithms (PSA), mechanical equations modeling algorithms (MEMA) such as exploratory and confirmatory methods, and spatial variability methods such as geostatistics and spatial statistical methods. Finally, we evaluated the quality of the methods using the goodness of fit indices, including absolute fit indices (AFI), comparative fit indices (CFI), and parsimonious fit indices (PFI). The results showed that CHT algorithm more suitably predicted the climatic spatiotemporal effect variability (SEV) by extracting direct, indirect, and total effects of climatic variables. Based on the CHT algorithm, the highest and lowest effect values were observed in total effects of winter rainfall (0.98) and summer rainfall variables (0.1), respectively. The SEV ranged from 0.8 to 0.98 for the winter rainfall total effects of CHT in Iran. Using CHT, most of the predicted SEV, particularly the rainfall series, displayed SEV varying from 80% to 98% of the winter rainfall total effects to the annual rainfall in Iran. Similarly, based on the CHT, the highest and lowest SEV values were in western, eastern, and southern regions and in central regions, respectively. In addition, the SEV varied within the range of 0.6–0.74 (varying from 60% to 74% for the autumn rainfall total effects of the annual rainfall in Iran) for the autumn rainfall total effects in Iran. Finally, the SEV of this type of analytical pattern as well as designated subject of CA applications in the atmospheric science and environmental science are discussed.
