Abstract

A large body of research suggests that generous welfare provisions for jobseekers create a disincentive to work. Other scholars argue that generous benefits can reduce unemployment by serving as a job-search subsidy. One caveat in this literature is that, when testing the two hypotheses, many scholars conceive of labour markets as homogeneous entities or they theoretically assume a certain insider/outsider divide. In this article, we claim that the employment effect of generous benefits varies between labour market segments. Analysing EU-SILC panel data of 27 European countries, we find that more-generous unemployment cash benefits enhance the transition from unemployment into more-secure work while discouraging transition into less-secure work in terms of temporal, economic and organisational security. Contrary to existing research, welfare generosity is measured by aggregated information on individual benefit receipt. Labour market segments are identified by latent class analysis and transitions between segments are estimated by Multilevel Latent Markov Models.

Abstract

Technological innovations have enabled the emergence of online labour market platforms, empowering individuals to penetrate the world of traditional offshoring and challenging localised labour market dynamics. A great number of workers thrive at online platforms and embrace these tools to find customers for their businesses, to counterbalance market fluctuations, and earn wages above the local average. However, online labour market workers are also known to suffer numerous drawbacks, such as precarious working conditions, unpaid work, and severe fragmentation of jobs into tasks that limit skill use and development. Yet, our understanding of what causes this divergence in experiences is limited. Adopting propositions from the labour market segmentation literature, I show that, similarly to offline markets, online labour markets are composed of structurally delimited segments with different social processes governing the allocation of work. Using unsupervised clustering techniques from network science, I show that the clustered skill topology constrains mobility between segments in online platforms. I also show that this segmentation explains large differences in the earnings potential of individual workers. Together, these results provide a new explanation for the persistence of diversified experiences in online labour markets and inform strategies for future research of online platforms as highly segmented labour markets.

109. Root traits as drivers of plant and ecosystem functioning: current understanding, pitfalls and future research needs

Author

Freschet, Gregoire, Roumet, Catherine, Comas, Louise, Weemstra, Monique, Bengough, Glyn, Rewald, Boris, Bardgett, Richard, Lukac, Martin, and Stokes, Alexia

Abstract

The effects of plants on the biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere are key determinants of terrestrial ecosystem functioning. However, despite substantial progress made regarding plant belowground components, we are still only beginning to explore the complex relationships between root traits and functions. Drawing on literature in plant physiology, ecophysiology, ecology, agronomy and soil science, we review 24 aspects of plant and ecosystem functioning and their relationships with a number of traits of root systems, including aspects of architecture, physiology, morphology, anatomy, chemistry, biomechanics and biotic interactions. Based on this assessment, we critically evaluate the current strengths and gaps in our knowledge, and identify future research challenges in the field of root ecology. Most importantly, we found that below-ground traits with widest importance in plant and ecosystem functioning are not those most commonly measured. Also, the fair estimation of trait relative importance for functioning\ud requires us to consider a more comprehensive range of functionally-relevant traits from a diverse range of species, across environments and over time series. We also advocate that establishing causal hierarchical links among root traits will provide a hypothesis-based\ud framework to identify the most parsimonious sets of traits with strongest influence on the functions, and to link genotypes to plant and ecosystem functioning.

112. Quantifying crop pollinator-dependence and pollination deficits: the effects of experimental scale on yield and quality assessments

Author

Webber, Sean, Garratt, Michael, Lukac, Martin, Bailey, Alison, Huxley, Theresa, and Potts, Simon

Abstract

Many crops are known to be dependent on biotic pollination, but knowledge gaps remain regarding the extent of this dependence, how it varies between crop varieties, and the implications of biotic pollination for crop quality. Data is also lacking on the prevalence and extent of pollination deficits and the ability of the surrounding pollinator community to provide pollination services. Robust and standardised methodologies are crucial for pollination studies. However, there has been only limited research into the critical question of the appropriate scale to apply these methods. Here, we use a commercially important UK apple Malus domestica variety (Gala) to address the questions of pollinator-dependence and pollination deficits, quality benefits arising from pollination, and the implications of conducting pollination experiments at three different scales: the inflorescence, the branch, and the whole plant.\ud \ud We found that Gala apple production was highly dependent on biotic pollination: overall, pollinator exclusion reduced fruit set at harvest to 55% of open pollination levels, whilst supplementary pollination led to fruit set of 167%. However, significant differences were found between the inflorescence, branch, and tree experiments; with increasing scale of observation leading to a lower measure of pollinator-dependence and pollination deficit. At the inflorescence scale, fruit set at harvest was just 13% of normal levels following pollinator exclusion, whilst at the branch and tree scales it was 75% and 79% of normal levels respectively. Supplementary pollination led to fruit set of 218%, 172%, and 117% of normal rates at the inflorescence, branch, and tree scales respectively. Apple seed set was also significantly affected by pollination treatment and the extent of this effect also depended on experimental scale. These differences due to experimental scale are likely a combination of methodological, biological and crop management factors. Seed numbers were shown to be a very good indicator of a number of fruit quality parameters, with greater seed numbers resulting in greater production of Class 1 (i.e. top commercial value) fruit. \ud \ud It is recommended that to measure pollinator-dependence and pollination deficits, experiments are conducted at the largest scale practicable and that treatment effects are monitored until harvest to more accurately reflect final yield outcomes. For apples, growers are recommended to record seed number as part of their fruit quality monitoring programmes to give a rapid and easy to measure indication of potential pollination deficit.

Abstract

Conjoint analysis is an experimental technique that has become quite popular to understand peoples decisions in multi-dimensional decision-making processes. Despite the importance of power analysis for experimental techniques, current literature has largely disregarded statistical power considerations when designing conjoint experiments. The main goal of this article is to provide researchers and practitioners with a practical tool to calculate the statistical power of conjoint experiments. To this end, we first conducted an extensive literature review to understand how conjoint experiments are designed and gauge the plausible effect sizes discovered in the literature. Second, we formulate a data generating model that is sufficiently flexible to accommodate a wide range of conjoint designs and hypothesized effects. Third, we present the results of an extensive series of simulation experiments based on the previously formulated data generation process. Our results show that---even with relatively large sample size and the number of trials---conjoint experiments are not suited to draw inferences for experiments with large numbers of experimental conditions and relatively small effect sizes. Specifically, Type S and Type M errors are especially pronounced for experimental designs with relatively small effective sample sizes (< 3000) or a high number of levels (> 15) that find small but statistically significant effects (< 0.03). The proposed online tool based on the simulation results can be used by researchers to perform power analysis of their designs and hence achieve adequate design for future conjoint experiments.

120. Elevated CO2 and high salinity enhance the abundance of sulfate reducers in a salt marsh ecosystem

Abstract

Salt marshes are anticipated to be exposed to elevated atmospheric CO2 and high salinity due to sea-level rise in the future. This study aims to investigate the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 and high salinity on microbial communities using intact cores collected from a salt marsh in North Wales, UK. The cores were exposed to two levels of CO2 (ambient vs. ambient + 200 ppm) and two levels of salinity (control vs. control + 10 ppt) over a growing season in the Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment (FACE) facility. We focused on the abundances of bacteria, sulfate reducers (SRB), methanogens and denitrifiers as they play a central role in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the activities of extracellular enzymes were determined to assess the effects on microbial activity, followed by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to elucidate possible mechanism for the changes we observed. Elevated CO2 significantly increased DOC in pore water for the control salinity treatment during a vigorous growing season (i.e., May - Aug) but not the high salinity treatment. Microbial diversity presented by Shannon’s diversity derived from T-RFLP analysis showed no significant changes except for nirS genes, suggesting potential influence of elevated CO2 on denitrification. Microbial abundances changed substantially for certain functional groups; For example, the abundance of SRB increased both by elevated CO2 and high salinity. In contrast, total bacterial abundance declined under the treatment of high salinity. SEM suggests that elevated CO2 increases DOC in pore-water, which increased sulfate reducers. Salinity plays an additional role in this process to selectively increasing SRB without affecting methanogens. Overall, the results of this study suggest that SRB will play a key role in organic matter decomposition in salt marshes as atmospheric CO2 and salinity increase. This is most likely to be mediated by changes in the quantity and the quality of organic carbon derived from salt marsh vegetation.

Abstract

Increasing carbon (C) storage in soil is a key aspect of climate change mitigation strategies and requires an understanding of the impacts of land management on soil C cycling. The primary aim of this study is to investigate how land management impacts key soil organic matter stabilization and cycling processes affecting soil C storage. Soil sampling was undertaken across seven transects crossing the boundary between agriculture and forestry. The transects covered 3 pasture (AP) and 4 arable (AA) fields combined with 3 young secondary woodlands (50-60 years old - WY) and 4 mature/ancient semi-natural woodlands (110 to >400 years old - WM). Physical fractionation of soil organic matter pools was performed, together with pH, carbon and nitrogen content, as well as activity of four enzymes associated with C transformation in the soil. Woodland soils were associated with significantly higher content of light fraction C and greater enzyme activity in comparison to agricultural soils. Enzyme activity and soil organic C decreased with soil depth regardless of land-use type. We did not, however, observe any effect of the distance from the land use boundary on either enzyme activity and soil C pools. Our results indicate that analysis of soil organic matter (SOM) fractions can act as an indicator of decomposition rates of SOM in forest and agricultural ecosystems.

Abstract

Climate change predictions derived from coupled carbon-climate models are highly dependent on assumptions about feedbacks between the biosphere and atmosphere. One critical feedback occurs if C uptake by the biosphere increases in response to the fossil-fuel driven increase in atmospheric [C[O.sub.2]] ('C[O.sub.2] fertilization'), thereby slowing the rate of increase in atmospheric [C[O.sub.2]]. Carbon exchanges between the terrestrial biosphere and atmosphere are often first represented in models as net primary productivity (NPP). However, the contribution of C[O.sub.2] fertilization to the future global C cycle has been uncertain, especially in forest ecosystems that dominate global NPP, and models that include a feedback between terrestrial biosphere metabolism and atmospheric [C[O.sub.2]] are poorly constrained by experimental evidence. We analyzed the response of NPP to elevated C[O.sub.2] ([approximately equal to] 550 ppm) in four free-air C[O.sub.2] enrichment experiments in forest stands. We show that the response of forest NPP to elevated [C[O.sub.2]] is highly conserved across a broad range of productivity, with a stimulation at the median of 23 [+ or -] 2%. At low leaf area indices, a large portion of the response was attributable to increased light absorption, but as leaf area indices increased, the response to elevated [C[O.sub.2]] was wholly caused by increased light-use efficiency. The surprising consistency of response across diverse sites provides a benchmark to evaluate predictions of ecosystem and global models and allows us now to focus on unresolved questions about carbon partitioning and retention, and spatial variation in NPP response caused by availability of other growth limiting resources.

149. Long-term effects of environmental change and species diversity on tree radial growth in a mixed European forest

Author

Bosela, Michal, Kulla, Ladislav, Roessiger, Joerg, Seben, Vladimir, Dobor, Laura, Buntgen, Ulf, and Lukac, Martin

Abstract

Norway spruce (Picea abies), European beech (Fagus sylvatica), silver fir (Abies alba) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) typically co-occur in European forests, but show contrasting response to climate and environmental change. Sustainable forest management therefore depends on species- and regional-specific information. Here, we use tree-ring width measurements of 334 beech, 280 fir, 144 spruce and 63 pine trees from 75 inventory plots in Slovakia to assess the predominant climatic factors that control radial stem growth of Europe’s economically most important forest species. All four species exhibit significant shifts in stem growth over the past 100 years. Ring width patterns were, however, not significantly affected by tree species diversity and site elevation. The resistance, resilience and recovery of all species to the extreme summer droughts between 1950 and 2003 suggest that spruce is the species most unsuitable for the predicted warmer and drier future. Silver fir may benefit from warmer conditions, although we cannot conclude that it will not suffer from predicted increased frequency of climate extremes. Forest management in this locality should aim to avoid significant loss of forest cover by replacing Norway spruce monocultures with mixed stands of silver fir and European beech.

150. The social configuration of labour market divides: an across- and within- country analysis in Germany, Belgium and Italy

Author

Doerflinger, Nadja, Pulignano, Valeria, and Lukac, Martin

Abstract

The article uncovers and analyses insecurity-based dividing lines and their social configurations in the German, Belgian and Italian labour markets in 2015 based on latent class analysis applied to European Union Labour Force Survey data. Conversely to the dual vision of ‘insider-outsider’ approaches, our findings illustrate the existence of five distinctive labour market groups or segments across countries with similar social configurations. We explain this by referring to the social embeddedness of the investigated countries’ national regulatory systems, which generate different degrees of inclusiveness for different groups of workers. This adds to ongoing debates on connecting micro- and macro-levels of analysis, as labour market segmentation as macro phenomenon is studied based on its micro-foundations (i.e. terms and conditions of employment relationships), and the interlinkages between national regulatory systems and social categories are used to explain the findings. ispartof: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS vol:26 issue:2 pages:1-17 status: Published online
