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 ...

Salinity effects on soil shrinkage characteristic curves of fine-grained geomaterials
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019 Fine-grained clayey soils are prone to substantial volume changes during desiccation in response to the dynamics of their moisture regime, and are of critical importance in several geotechnical and geo- environmental engineering applications.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between industrial robotics adoption and ecological capacity, measured by biocapacity, using panel data from 50 countries over the period 2000–2024. We investigate the transmission mechanisms, non‐linearities, spatial spillovers, and heterogeneity characterizing this relationship.

Free Trade Zones and Corporate ESG: Evidence From a Quasi‐Natural Experiment in China
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how China's Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) influence corporate ESG performance. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2024, we combine coarsened exact matching (CEM) and geography‐based instrumental variables to ensure robust identification.

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

A NEW APPROACH FOR PARTICLE SIZE CHARACTERIZATION OF SOIL BASED ON DYNAMIC IMAGE ANALYSIS (DIA)
Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2019 Particle size distribution (PSD) affects soil behaviour and plays a main role in geotechnical engineering. In site investigations of large engineering structures, in earthquakes and liquefaction research and before filter material selection, it is ...

Geotechnical characteristics correlations for fine-grained soils
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 AbstractCompressibility and shear strength are the principal geotechnical engineering properties of soils, which control the stability of a soil mass under structural loads. Therefore, it is always required to be measured before the design of the foundation of any structure.

Achieving Immanent Organizational Ethics: Managing Paradoxical Tensions in Packaging
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms face strategic tensions in packaging materials through their conflicting but complementary social, environmental and economic goals in achieving sustainability. Reducing and repurposing plastics, glass, paper and cardboard in agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture is proving a challenge.
