Contrasting allocation patterns in wheat and weeds: allometric belowground and reproductive investment versus optimal partitioning adaptations

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionModeling differences in biomass allocation between wheat and weeds—specifically to shoots (aboveground biomass), roots (belowground biomass), and seed mass (reproductive biomass)—enhances our understanding of sustainable weeds management ...

An Indicator‐Based Decision Framework for Circular Bioeconomy Transition in the Steel Industry: Integrating Multiphase Learning and Cooperative Game Modelling

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing attention to the circular bioeconomy (CBE), the steel industry currently lacks a standardised, sectoral measurement framework to facilitate a low‐carbon transition. In this study, a decision‐support framework for evaluating CBE performance in the steel industry is proposed.

Linking Aboveground Traits to Root Traits and Local Environment: Implications of the Plant Economics Spectrum. [PDF]

, 2019
The plant economics spectrum proposes that ecological traits are functionally coordinated and adapt along environmental gradients. However, empirical evidence is mixed about whether aboveground and root traits are consistently linked and which ...

From Policy to Practice: A Global Review of Circular Economy Strategy Documents in Construction Using NLP

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores how circular economy (CE) principles are incorporated in construction‐related policy roadmaps worldwide, addressing the growing need for effective resource strategies in a highly material‐intensive sector. National strategic CE documents from 57 countries were analyzed using natural language processing techniques, and then ...

Artificial Intelligence–Driven and Digital Practices for Circular Business and Finance: Insights for Advancing Hubs for Circularity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emerging concept of Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) presents an opportunity to create collaborative, self‐sustaining regional industrial ecosystems that drive circular economy transitions at scale. However, the operationalisation of H4Cs faces financial, organisational and data‐driven challenges.

Xtrawood: refining estimation of tree above ground biomass using wood specific gravity variations and tree structure [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Tree above ground biomass (AGB) is currently estimated by tree-level allometrical models that take into account, tree volume estimated from proxy variables of tree size (DBH) and species average wood specific gravity (WSG).

Green Finance, Digitalization, and Banks' Sustainable Business Model Innovations Toward Net‐Zero Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Financial capital is widely recognized as having the potential to provide investments needed for net‐zero transitions. While recent empirical studies reveal that financial digitalization and fintech have changed Chinese banks' loan portfolios and business models, they stem from credit restrictions on heavily polluting enterprises and from ...

Community Trait Distributions Drive Biomass Stand Allocation Trade‐Offs in Karst Forests

Ecology and Evolution
Community biomass allocation is jointly determined by habitat conditions and plant functional traits. Studies of biomass allocation patterns in topographic—soil climax communities of karst ecosystems remain scarce. According to the trait‐driven paradigm,
