THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS IN TROPICAL FORESTS OF MEXICO

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2010
Biomass stocks and their spatial distribution remain poorly understood in tropical forests and reliable estimations are critical in the calculations of carbon stocks and fluxes.

Biomass and Carbon Stock Estimation of Udawattakele Forest Reserve in Kandy District of Sri Lanka

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Forestry and Environment, 2019
Carbon dioxide has gained lot of attention in recent past as a greenhouse gas, and therefore it has a potential to affect the climate pattern of the world. Several anthropogenic activities are known to be responsible for the increased level of carbon in the atmosphere and disruption of the global carbon cycle.

Artificial Intelligence–Driven and Digital Practices for Circular Business and Finance: Insights for Advancing Hubs for Circularity

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emerging concept of Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) presents an opportunity to create collaborative, self‐sustaining regional industrial ecosystems that drive circular economy transitions at scale. However, the operationalisation of H4Cs faces financial, organisational and data‐driven challenges.

Green Finance, Digitalization, and Banks' Sustainable Business Model Innovations Toward Net‐Zero Transitions

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Financial capital is widely recognized as having the potential to provide investments needed for net‐zero transitions. While recent empirical studies reveal that financial digitalization and fintech have changed Chinese banks' loan portfolios and business models, they stem from credit restrictions on heavily polluting enterprises and from ...

Generic allometric models including height best estimate forest biomass and carbon stocks in Indonesia

open access: yesForest Ecology and Management, 2013
The choice of an appropriate allometric model is a critical step in reducing uncertainties in forest biomass stock estimates. With large greenhouse gases emissions due to deforestation, a systematic assessment and comparison of the models available in Indonesia is crucial for accurate assessments of forest carbon stocks and implementing REDD+ projects.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

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

open access: yesBusiness 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.

On the Use of Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) in the Mangrove Ecosystem. Estimation of Canopy Aboveground Biomass Density in Lian Batangas, Philippines [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
Aboveground biomass density is one important parameter to assess the mangrove forest productivity. Understanding the dynamics of mangrove forests is beneficial because of their high capability of sequestering carbon dioxide, which can be used to mitigate
