Nitrate leaching in grazed grasslands of different composition and age [PDF]

, 2002
In a field experiment at Research Centre Foulum a suction cup technique was used to investigate nitrate leaching from grassland depending on composition (grass-clover or perennial ryegrass), management (grazing or cutting) and age of the swards.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Examining the Characteristics of Drought Resistance Under Different Types of Extreme Drought in Inner Mongolia Grassland, China

Remote Sensing
Extreme drought events may become more frequent with climate change. Understanding the impact of extreme drought on grassland ecosystems is therefore crucial for the long-term sustainability of ecosystems.

Biotic modulators of global change effects on plant communities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting future plant biodiversity and productivity is critical for prioritizing global change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts. One major challenge is that we know remarkably little about how interspecific interactions may modulate the effects of global change factors on diversity and productivity.

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 ...

Leaf Area Index Estimation of Grassland Based on UAV-Borne Hyperspectral Data and Multiple Machine Learning Models in Hulun Lake Basin

Remote Sensing
Leaf area index (LAI) is a crucial parameter reflecting the crown structure of the grassland. Accurately obtaining LAI is of great significance for estimating carbon sinks in grassland ecosystems.

From Ecological Culture to Green Innovation: The Role of Ethnic Minority Corporate Leaders in China

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Do ecological values embedded in ethnic cultures influence the environmental strategies of corporate leaders and their firms' green innovation? We examine this question in China's multiethnic context, where distinct ecological traditions across ethnic groups create sharp cultural contrasts that can be traced into leadership composition and ...
