Agribusiness Supply Chains: From Green to Regenerative

Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Supply chain management has traditionally prioritized maximizing profits, creating persistent tensions with social‐ecological systems (SES) despite sustainability efforts. Regeneration offers an alternative, ecocentric approach, yet it remains unclear how supply chains can operate within SES boundaries.

Vast, overlooked peat, and organic soils in Brazil's Cerrado: carbon storage, dynamics, and stability

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...

Impacts of convection, chemistry, and forest clearing on biogenic volatile organic compounds over the Amazon

Nature Communications
The Amazon rainforest is the largest source of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) to the atmosphere. To understand the distribution and chemistry of BVOCs, airborne and ground-based measurements of BVOCs are conducted over the Amazon rainforest ...

Multifaceted Assessment of the Relationship Between FDI and Sustainable Development in Latin America: The Role of the FDI Surplus Upon Environmental Productivities

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present study, we examined the impact of the net effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on biodiversity and ecological footprint productivity in 21 Latin American countries over a 32‐year period from 1990 to 2022. Additionally, we propose the hypothesis of ecological transition (ETH), which conceptualizes the asymmetric impact on ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

The importance of forest structure for carbon fluxes of the Amazon rainforest

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
Precise descriptions of forest productivity, biomass, and structure are essential for understanding ecosystem responses to climatic and anthropogenic changes. However, relations between these components are complex, in particular for tropical forests. We

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic
