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 ...

The Impact of Sustainability Audit Quality on Corporate Climate Change Performance: The Role of Governance Quality and Greenwashing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how sustainability audit quality influences corporate climate change performance and examines the moderating roles of governance quality and greenwashing. Using panel regressions on 6140 firm‐year observations from 39 countries between 2008 and 2023, the findings reveal that higher sustainability audit quality is ...

Mitigating the Heat: The Role of AI Technology in Shielding Corporate Environmental Performance From Extreme Temperatures—Difference‐in‐Differences Evidence From Chinese Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat has become a recurring operational challenge that disrupts production, raises energy and maintenance needs, and makes it harder for firms to sustain environmental performance. However, it remains less clear whether AI‐related capability is associated with firms' ability to maintain environmental performance under recurring extreme‐

Fine root dynamic characteristics and effect on plantation’s carbon sequestration of three Salix shrub plantations in Tibetan Plateau alpine sandy land

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Desertification land in Gonghe Basin of Tibetan Plateau, China accounts for 91.9% of the total land area. Vegetation restoration and reconstruction with desert shrubs in degraded ecosystem are effective ways to prevent and control desertification ...

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Green water, wetlands, and atmospheric moisture recycling ‐ An emerging new paradigm for grassland science

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The importance of green water in water resource management. Conceptual classification of terrestrial water components highlighting the central role of green water in land‐atmosphere interactions. This schematic distinguishes green water (soil moisture available for plant uptake and evapotranspiration) from blue water (surface water, groundwater, and ...

A New Large-Scale Monitoring Index of Desertification Based on Kernel Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Feature Space Model

Remote Sensing
As a new vegetation monitoring index, the KNDVI has certain advantages in characterizing the evolutionary process of regional desertification. However, there are few reports on desertification monitoring based on KNDVI and feature space models.
