Challenges and Limitations in Comparing Satellite Microwave Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) Against in-Situ Tree Hydraulics in the Canadian Boreal Forest

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing
Microwave remote sensing can be used to estimate vegetation optical depth (VOD), a measure of the attenuation of microwave radiation by vegetation. VOD is tightly linked to vegetation properties such as water content and above-ground biomass.

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

‘In a small school, it's just capacity all of the time’: Delivery and experiences of a national early career teacher development initiative across diverse school settings in England

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective early career support is associated with a variety of professional and personal benefits for teachers and their schools. However, research indicates that the contextual features of schools, such as their size and geographic location, influence the support that new teachers receive.

A sensitivity study of daytime net radiation during snowmelt to forest canopy and atmospheric conditions [PDF]

, 2004
This study investigates the dependence of net radiation at snow surfaces under forest canopies on the overlying canopy density. The daily sum of positive values of net radiation is used as an index of the snowmelt rate.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

SNOWMIP2: An evaluation of forest snow process simulation [PDF]

, 2009
The Northern Hemisphere has large areas that are forested and seasonally snow covered. Compared with open areas, forest canopies strongly influence interactions between the atmosphere and snow on the ground by sheltering the snow from wind and solar ...

Variability in Fire Frequency and Forest Composition in Canada's Southeastern Boreal Forest: A Challenge for Sustainable Forest Management

Ecology and Society, 1998
Because some consequences of fire resemble the effects of industrial forest harvesting, forest management is often considered as a disturbance having effects similar to those of natural disturbances.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for better understanding of firm activities that contribute to biodiversity preservation. Panwar, Ober, and Pinkse offer a valuable typology of corporate biodiversity protection strategies based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, the preloss (proactive) strategies of conservation and compensation, and the ...

Deforestation‐Free Cocoa: Implications for Organizational Adaptation and Compliance Costs

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mandatory due diligence is an emerging policy instrument for addressing global environmental challenges, yet how such regulations reshape firm‐level organizational structures and generate compliance costs remains poorly understood. Drawing on organizational theory, this study examines how companies in the German cocoa and chocolate sector ...
