Fire ecology in marine systems
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionWildfire byproducts enter into the oceans via terrestrial and atmospheric routes. They pose a challenge to the sustainability of marine ecosystems, especially under the current increase in fire activity. Research is needed to unravel the dynamics between wildfires and marine life, and the oceans' potential to mitigate wildfire emissions.

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 ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly looking into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a set of options to take past emissions of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Often two basic categories of CDR are distinguished: nature‐based solutions, such as planting trees or restoring wetlands, and technology‐based solutions, such as various forms of carbon capture ...

, 2023 AbstractFire is the great consumer of Africa’s vegetation cover, most markedly since the Late Miocene (10 Million years ago) due to the cooling and drying, and increased seasonality, of the climate. Dry winters presented ideal conditions for extensive fires, opening forests and expanding grassy savannas and their fire adapted trees and C4 grasses. This

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Meta-analysis of avian and small-mammal response to fire severity and fire surrogate treatments in U.S. fire-prone forests [PDF]
, 2012 Management in fire-prone ecosystems relies widely upon application of prescribed fire and/or fire surrogate (e.g., forest thinning) treatments to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function.

Climate Change Risk and Financial Stability: Implications for European Banking Institutions
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines whether climate change risk weakens banking‐system stability in the European Union and assesses how renewable energy adoption and energy‐related taxation moderate this relationship. Using panel data for 27 EU countries from 2012 to 2022 and applying fixed‐effects OLS, two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and robust generalized ...
