Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Geometry of Valley Growth

, 2010
Although amphitheater-shaped valley heads can be cut by groundwater flows emerging from springs, recent geological evidence suggests that other processes may also produce similar features, thus confounding the interpretations of such valley heads on ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Disentangling the Effects of Firm‐Level Climate Risk and Capital Market Signalling: Evidence From Stock Price Informativeness

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of firm‐level climate risk on stock price informativeness (SPI) through the integrated lens of stakeholder–shareholder theory. Using a global unbalanced panel of 73,770 firm‐year observations across 38 countries (2000–2020), we find that higher carbon emissions significantly reduce SPI, reflecting increased ...

Erosividade das chuvas em Uruguaiana, RS, determinada pelo índice EI30, com base no período de 1963 a 1991 Rainfall erosivity in Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil from 1963 to 1991 determined by the EI30 index

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2008
A erosividade representa o potencial que as chuvas têm de provocar erosão hídrica no solo. O índice EI30 é um método de determinação dessa erosividade das chuvas e é calculado, para cada chuva individual e erosiva, pelo produto da energia cinética total ...

From Ecosystem Threats to Balance Sheets: Biodiversity Risks Exposure and Corporate Cash Policies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how firms strategically respond to biodiversity risk by examining their cash holding decisions. Using firm‐level data from China, we find that firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure significantly increases corporate cash holdings.

Rainfall aggressiveness as a determining factor of erosion processes. Case Study: Calintir River Basin (Republic of Moldova) [PDF]

Present Environment and Sustainable Development
The climatic factor is of particular interest in the evaluation of erosion processes. The spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall is actually a key factor for erosion processes.
