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

open access: yesBusiness 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 ...

Comparison of four different programs for the analysis of hemispherical photographs using parameters of canopy structure and solar radiation transmittance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
There have been many studies involving the use of hemispherical photographs to indirectly estimate canopy structures and forest light environments.

Resolving the internal magnetic structure of the solar network

open access: yes, 2012
We analyze the spectral asymmetry of Stokes V (circularly polarized) profiles of an individual network patch in the quiet Sun observed by Sunrise/IMaX. At a spatial resolution of 0.15"-0.18", the network elements contain substructure which is revealed by

Physical interpretation of the correlation between multi-angle spectral data and canopy height [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Recent empirical studies have shown that multi-angle spectral data can be useful for predicting canopy height, but the physical reason for this correlation was not understood.

Satellite hindcasts of foliar traits reveal a subtle but consistent relaxation of conservativeness in a biodiverse mountain grassland over the last four decades

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Projected warming and drying raise concerns about the resilience of stress‐adapted ecosystems, including the Brazilian Campo Rupestre, an exceptionally biodiverse mountaintop grassland mosaic on ancient, nutrient‐poor substrates. Here, we combine field‐based trait data and long‐term remote sensing to assess the functional structure and temporal ...

MODERATE SEVERITY DISTURBANCE HAS SIMILAR EFFECTS ON THE PRODUCTION OF THREE FORESTS NESTED WITHIN THE UPPER GREAT LAKES LANDSCAPE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Moderate severity disturbances, which only kill a subset of canopy trees (e.g., via insects, pathogens, and windthrow), are increasingly widespread, and can alter forest structure and production.

Relationship between home range and population density in mammals: the role of sociality, territoriality and habitat dimensionality

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Organisms' energy requirements increase with body mass, leading to larger home range areas and lower population density. Previous research has highlighted the differential scaling of these variables in mammals, where species with large home ranges have higher density than expected due to increased home range overlap. Here we investigate this phenomenon

Remote sensing investigations of wetland biomass and productivity for global biosystems research [PDF]

open access: yes
The relationship between spectral radiance and plant canopy biomass was studied in wetlands. Spectroradiometer data was gathered on Thematic Mapper wavebands 3, 4, and 5, and correlated with canopy and edaphic factors determined by harvesting.

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Undergrowth Structure and Natural Regeneration in Mixed Conifer-broadleaved Forest of the Southern Sikhote-Alin [PDF]

open access: yesЖурнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2011
Analysis of structure and disturbance history of a mixed broadleaved-dark conifer-Korean pine forest is performed in Primorye, south part of the Sikhohe-Alin mountain range. Based on results of a dendrochronological and spatial analysis it is showed that
