Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

This book will not serve as the encyclopedia of cover crop management but it’s close. The benefits of a wide range of individual cover crops and blends/mixes for specific agronomic crop rotations and geographic locations are included. Descriptions photographs and illustrations show how cover crops look in the field including plant height leaf architecture and rooting patterns. Long term benefits are described for soil health soil structure water quality nutrient contributions soil biodiversity air quality and climate change. In addition to the whys of cover crop use the book includes details on the hows: how to choose cover crops for specific applications and locations; how (and when) to plant; how to manage and maintain the cover for maximum benefit; and how and when to terminate. Planting options include: drilling/planting between rows of an agronomic crop at planting time or when the crop is short (i. e. corn in early June); aerial seeding with an airplane or high-clearance machine shortly before the crop reaches maturity; and drilling/planting immediately after harvest of the agronomic crop. Selected cover crops (blends) can help with pest and disease management. Cover crops are an economic input with an expected return on investment similar to pesticides and fertilizer. As part of a continuous no-till system cover crops provide long-term biological chemical and structural benefits. The resulting increase in soil organic matter means the agronomic crop yields benefit from better water infiltration and water holding capacity greater availability of nitrogen and other nutrients deeper rooting and increased soil microbial activity in the root zone. | Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

Reinsurance and the Law of Aggregation Event Occurrence Cause

Reinsurance and the Law of Aggregation Event Occurrence Cause

In excess of loss reinsurance the reinsurer covers the amount of a loss exceeding the policy’s deductible but not piercing its cover limit. Accordingly a policy’s quantitative scope of cover is significantly affected by the parties’ agreement of a deductible and a cover limit. Yet the examination of whether a loss has exceeded deductible or cover limit necessitates an educated understanding of what constitutes one loss. In so-called aggregation clauses the parties to (re-)insurance contracts regularly provide that multiple individual losses are to be added together for presenting one loss to the reinsurer when they arise from the same event occurrence catastrophe cause or accident. Aggregation mechanisms are one of the core instruments for structuring reinsurance contracts. This book systematically examines each element of an aggregation mechanism tracing the inconsistent usage of aggregation language in the markets and scrutinizing the tests developed by courts and arbitral tribunals. In doing so it seeks to support insurers reinsurers brokers and lawyers in drafting aggregation clauses and in settling claims. Focusing on an analysis of primary sources particularly judicial decisions the book interprets each judicial decision to describe a system of inter-related rules collating organising and describing the English law of aggregation as applied by the courts and arbitral tribunals. It further draws a comparison between the English position and the corresponding rules in the Principles of Reinsurance Contract Law (PRICL). | Reinsurance and the Law of Aggregation Event Occurrence Cause

Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies

Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies

The word ‘diaspora’ has leapt from its previously confined use – mainly concerned with the dispersion of Jews Greeks Armenians and Africans away from their natal homelands – to cover the cases of many other ethnic groups nationalities and religions. But this ‘horizontal’ scattering of the word to cover the mobility of many groups to many destinations has been paralleled also by ‘vertical’ leaps with the word diaspora being deployed to cover more and more phenomena and serve more and more objectives of different actors. With sections on ‘debating the concept’ ‘complexity’ ‘home and home-making’ ‘connections’ and ‘critiques’ the Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies is likely to remain an authoritative reference for some time. Each contribution includes a targeted list of references for further reading. The editors have carefully blended established scholars of diaspora with younger scholars looking at how diasporas are constructed ‘from below’. The adoption of a variety of conceptual perspectives allows for generalization contrasts and comparisons between cases. In this exciting and authoritative collection over 40 scholars from many countries have explored the evolving use of the concept of diaspora its possibilities as well as its limitations. This Handbook will be indispensable for students undertaking essays debates and dissertations in the field.
