Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Update of the erosive rain factor in Slovakia using data from the period 1961–2009
Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2019 An update of the rainfall erosivity factor (R-factor) estimated for 95 locations throughout the entire territory of Slovakia is presented in this paper. We analyzed rainfall time series with 1-minute resolution provided by the Slovak Hydrometeorological ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Impact of Rainfall Microstructure on Erosivity and Splash Soil Erosion Under Simulated Rainfall
, 2011 Rainfall represents the major driver of soil detachment in erosion processes. The potential of rainfall to detach soil has been defined as rainfall erosivity. The relationship between rainfall intensity and rainfall drop size distribution (DSD) controls various rainfall characteristics including the rainfall erosivity (Abd Elbasit et al., 2010).

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Identifying erosive periods by using RUSLE factors in mountain fields of the Central Spanish Pyrenees [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2008 The Mediterranean environment is characterized by strong temporal variations in rainfall volume and intensity, soil moisture and vegetation cover along the year. These factors play a key role on soil erosion. The aim of this work is to identify different

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

Zoning of erosion potential of water accumulated in snow cover based on climatological data analysis
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2009 Melting of snow in winter and early spring often causes soil erosion. The results of erosion studies show that the runoff generated in the cold period can cause more intensive erosion than in the warm half year.
