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

open access: yesBusiness 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 ...

Impact of rain-on-snow events on snowpack structure and runoff under a boreal canopy

open access: yes
Rain-on-snow events can cause severe flooding in snow–dominated regions. These are expected to become more frequent in the future as climate change shifts the precipitation from snowfall to rainfall.

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

open access: yesBusiness 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.

ASSESSING THE CANOPY INTEGRITY USING CANOPY DIGITAL IMAGES IN SEMIDECIDUOUS FOREST FRAGMENT IN SÃO CARLOS - SP- BRAZIL1

open access: yesRevista Árvore, 2017
It is well-known that conducting experimental research aiming the characterization of canopy structure of forests can be a difficult and costly task and, generally, requires an expert to extract, in loco, relevant information.

Bond Formation: Shaken, Not Stirred

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Shaking of seismo‐molecules efficiently transforms kinetic energy into storable chemical potential, unlocking high‐utility Gibbs free energy. This innovative mechanism pioneers uncharted scientific frontiers, introducing fascinating phenomena like seismochemistry, seismochromism, and seismofluorescence that redefine the boundaries of molecular ...

Evaluation of canopy photosynthetic rate in erect-panicle rice using a photosynthetic model

open access: yesPlant Production Science
Erect-panicle rice has the potential to improve rice production owing to its unique leaf canopy structure and high leaf nitrogen content (LNC). However, limiting information is available regarding its canopy photosynthesis of erect-panicle rice.

Sub-Canopy Topography Estimation: Experiments With Multibaseline SAR Data at L-Band [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems in L-band and P-band are characterized by deep penetration capabilities into volumes, enabling new opportunities for the radar remote sensing of forests. In the last years, the interest has been continuously growing

Associations between mycorrhizal dominance and woody species diversity shift with stand development and climate across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Mycorrhizal symbioses influence woody species diversity, but whether this association shifts with forest stand development remains underexplored. Using forest inventory data across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan, we found that woody species diversity was lower in ectomycorrhizal (EM)‐dominated than in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)‐dominated ...

Effects of forest canopy structural complexity on productivity and its stability in the Qinling Mountains: Insights into environmental dependence

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People
Forest canopy structural complexity is a key determinant of forest productivity and exerts a strong influence on its stability. Yet, the relationship between forest canopy structural complexity and productivity and its stability under changing ...
