Do Banks in the Middle East and North Africa Region Price Carbon Exposure?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether carbon exposure is incorporated into corporate borrowing costs within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Using a panel of 771 firm‐year observations from publicly listed non‐financial firms between 2016 and 2023, the analysis investigates the relationship between carbon intensity and firms' cost of debt

Renewable Energy, Climate Risk, and the Cost of External Assurance: International Evidence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corporate shifts from fossil fuels to renewable energy are central to climate‐transition strategies, but their effects on external assurance have not been well understood. This study examines whether, how and where corporate renewable energy consumption affects the cost of external assurance, proxied by statutory audit fees.

High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

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.

Propagation from meteorological drought to agricultural drought under climate change

, 2023
Persistent precipitation deficits, or meteorological droughts, often but not necessarily lead to persistent soil moisture deficits, also known as agricultural droughts. For the same amount of accumulated precipitation deficit, an agricultural drought may or may not be triggered depending on a number of catalytic co-factors.

Fermentation‐Induced Modulation of Polyphenolic Contents and Medicinal Activities in Annona squamosa Seeds

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The study compared the medicinal activities of polyphenols from fermented and unfermented seeds of Annona squamosa. The polyphenols were extracted and subjected to standard analysis. The major phenolic components of the fermented polyphenols and the unfermented polyphenols were found to be 4‐hydroxybenzoic and 4‐hydroxyphenylacetic acid, respectively ...
