Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Do ESG Leaders Achieve Higher Firm Financial Performance? The Influence of Women Directors and Controversial Industries

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the growing pressure on companies to achieve high ESG performance while minimising ESG controversies, this study investigates how ESG performance and ESG controversies jointly affect firm financial performance (measured as ROA and ROE), considering the effect of the presence of women directors and of operating in controversial versus non‐

Restoring the Forests

Foreign Affairs, 2000
Eight thousand years ago, when humans played only bit parts in the world ecosystem, trees covered two-fifths of the land. Since then, humans have grown in number while thinning and shaving the forests to cook, keep warm, grow crops, plank ships, frame houses, and make paper.

Restoring Floodplain Forests in Europe

2012
Floodplain forests are linear forest systems, occupying the lower areas of river catchments. Their boundaries correspond with the areas disturbed by river flooding and they generally have shallow water tables. The ecology of floodplain forests is closely linked to the dynamic physical processes associated with flooding.

Forest restoration: Transformative trees—Response

Science, 2019
Luedeling and colleagues argue that we have overestimated the restoration capacity in several regions of the world. Our model predicts the expected optimal tree cover from a combination of 10 environmental variables that were selected through a variable selection procedure to avoid overfitting issues.

Forest Restoration

Restoring forest ecosystems and effectively conserving remnants is vital to face the global outbreak of deforestation, forest degradation, climate change, social injustice, and the biodiversity crisis. Besides scaling up forest restoration, setting reasonable goals can guide to more successful plantings that provide more ecosystem services that deliver

What Is Forest Landscape Restoration?

2012
The extent and distribution of global forests is a matter of considerable concern. The overall rate of deforestation remains high although recent reports suggest it is finally beginning to decline (FAO 2011). But this hides regional differences. In temperate regions net forest cover is increasing because of afforestation and natural expansion of ...

Restoration of Degraded Tropical Forest Landscapes

Science, 2005
The current scale of deforestation in tropical regions and the large areas of degraded lands now present underscore the urgent need for interventions to restore biodiversity, ecological functioning, and the supply of goods and ecological services previously used by poor rural communities. Traditional timber plantations have supplied some goods but have
