TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the dynamics of the natural resource base (e.g., soil quality, water, etc.) of agriculture as well as the endogenous evolution of rural environmental institutions that may impinge upon agricultural productivity over the long run.

TL;DR: In this paper, the acceleration of the leading MS-jets in the process of inertial ion drift in variable electric fields has been investigated and the leading jet appearance is suggested to be phase-synchronized with both the initial MS fluctuations and nonlinear cascades upstream at the magnetopause, which constitutes the wavy obstacle with multiple decays into the smaller MSjets and Alfvenic flows.

TL;DR: In a recent report on middle-income countries, the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) found that countries and the World Bank Group have relatively effective in the overarching priority of promoting growth and reducing poverty, but not in addressing rising inequality, governance and corruption, or environmental degradation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the local effects of substorm onset propagated radially antisunward, examining energetic-ion and magnetic-field data from AMPTE/CCE and energetic-particle data from the GEO satellite 1982-019 during a period of weak substorm activity on June 11, 1985.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere (CMIT) and stand-alone Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) models to predict the viscous potential of the whole heliosphere interval (WHI) data.
