The Dynamics‐of‐Value‐in‐Consumption of Recycled Textile Materials
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate how the perceived value of recycled textile materials evolves across the consumption cycle, a key issue for recycling‐based strategies seeking to close the loop in the fashion industry. We employ a qualitative design combining an exploratory study and a longitudinal study with three interview waves, in which participants ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Insects are the most diverse terrestrial organisms, yet they are underrepresented in large‐scale conservation assessments. To address this gap, the California Insect Barcoding Initiative is developing a publicly accessible, statewide DNA‐barcode reference library for California insects to support scalable surveys, establish baseline biodiversity ...

Scientia Plena, 2023 Floristic similarity studies make it possible to compare species richness between different phytophysiognomies and to assess whether species are typical of a phytophysiognomies or if they are common to two or more phytophysiognomies. The Immediate Geographic Region of São Luís (IGR), in the central region of northern Maranhão, is characterized by the ...

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline
Ecography, EarlyView.The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019 Floristic subdivision of the northern part of the Kuril archipelago (Russian Far East) remains controversial. Such uncertainty in biogeographical subdivision could be caused by insufficient floristic data due to poor accessibility of mainly uninhabited ...

Structure and floristic similarities of upper montane forests in Serra Fina mountain range, southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2015 The upper montane forests in the southern and southeastern regions of Brazil have an unusual and discontinuous geographic distribution at the top of the Atlantic coastal mountain ranges. To describe the floristic composition and structure of the Atlantic Forest near its upper altitudinal limit in southeastern Brazil, 30 plots with 10 × 10 m were ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurrence niches of vascular plants to explore the spatial variation in species'

Floristic homogenization of South Pacific islands commenced with human arrival [PDF]
The increasing similarity of plant species composition among distinct areas is leading to the homogenization of ecosystems globally. Human actions such as ecosystem modification, the introduction of non-native plant species and the extinction or ...

ANÁLISE FITOGEOGRÁFICA DA FLORA ARBUSTIVO-ARBÓREA EM ECÓTONO NO PLANALTO DA BODOQUENA, MS, BRASIL
Ciência Florestal, 2017 Setting priorities in the conservation of terrestrial ecosystems refers to the need for knowledge about the diversity of environments, especially in the Cerrado biome and its floristic transition zones, already in high stage of degradation.
