High-Resolution LiDAR Reveals Scale-Dependent Links Between Forest Structure and Understory Plant Diversity Across Successional Stages

Remote Sensing
Forest structural heterogeneity is widely recognized as a key driver of biodiversity, yet its effects on different components of understory diversity across spatial scales remain insufficiently understood, particularly when assessed using high-resolution

Zero Deforestation Commitments and Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies: An Analysis of Their Role in Mitigating Deforestation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Assessment of Growth and Carbon Stock of 6-Year-Old Dryobalanops lanceolata

Jurnal Sylva Lestari
Dipterocarp species are the mainstay of forest products in the form of woodworking. Dryobalanops lanceolata is one of the dipterocarp species. The study aimed to analyze the effect of canopy cover on the growth and carbon storage of 6-year-old D ...

Making Value‐Chain Risks Visible: Extending ENCORE for Systemic Insights

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Businesses in all sectors, including downstream segments, depend on biodiversity and the ecosystem services it sustains, yet firms also exert pressures that accelerate biodiversity loss. The latter generates material risks for both companies and their financial stakeholders.

Modified F‐tests for assessing tree radial growth under linear‐circular regression models with correlated errors: A comprehensive toolbox rooted in G. E. P. Box's theorems

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Annual tree growth is a complex biological process. Modelling radial growth in the trunk by linear‐circular regression with one mode and correlated errors has allowed the definition and assessment of a preferred direction for 1 and 2 years. Here, modified F$$ F $$‐tests are presented for 3 years, 1 mode/year; 1 year, 2 modes for possible main ...

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

Canopy Architecture After Selective Logging in a Secondary Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente
Sustainable forest management promotes financial revenues while keeping the forest cover and environmental services. Nevertheless, the logging operation causes changes in the forest and canopy horizontal and vertical structure.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.
