Towards a Biodiversity Positive Business Strategy: The MCRV (Monitoring, Conserving, Restoring, Valorizing) Framework

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.

Consequences of transformation of native Cerrado in pasture land on the porosity of a clayey-sand red latosol

, 2000
In the Brazilian savannah (Cerrados area), about 60 % of the surface area is used as pasture land and 30 % of the latter is cultivated pasture. Many studies have reported that pastures degrade quickly and degradation would be more intense when the soil ...

Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

Governing Agriculture or Farmers? Problem Representations of Biodiversity and Farm Loss in Swedens Strategy for the Common Agricultural Policy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European Union (EU) strategies for food supply address challenges of increasing, or at least maintaining, today's level of agricultural food production. At the same time, European farmland biodiversity continues to deteriorate despite considerable investments in measures to promote environmentally friendly farming practices.

The EU Deforestation Regulation: Challenges, Opportunities and the Potential Impacts on the Producing Countries of Cocoa and Coffee

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a policy that prohibits access to the EU market for commodities that are linked to deforestation. We did a systematic review to understand perceived challenges, opportunities and potential impacts of the EUDR on producing countries of cocoa and coffee.

Production of bioethanol from residual barley and utilization of fermentation co‐products in animal nutrition

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for sustainable alternatives for bioethanol production has encouraged the valorization of agro‐industrial residues. This study evaluated the use of residual barley as a feedstock for bioethanol production and as a potential ingredient for ruminant feed.

Potential for conflict between urban coyotes and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Across North America, both unsheltered homelessness and human–coyote (Canis latrans) conflict are increasing, but the relationship between these phenomena has not been thoroughly explored. We synthesize literature‐based evidence with anecdotal observations that occurred during a 15‐year study of coyotes in Edmonton, Canada, to describe three likely ...

Pollinator risks and recovery from air pollutant interactions during the fossil‐fuel transition

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
By altering the composition and concentration of floral scents, air pollutants such as ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) disrupt the ability of insect pollinators to locate flowers, threatening biodiversity and crop production. We examine the impact of these pollutants on pollinator performance and evaluate the short‐ and long‐term consequences of ...

Nitrification at the community level across a cultivated and a pasture landscape

, 1997
Nitrification is a key N transformation process which provides one of the major mineral N sources for biota in terrestrial ecosystems and influences atmospheric and hydrospheric chemistry via secondary reactions of its products.
