Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for better understanding of firm activities that contribute to biodiversity preservation. Panwar, Ober, and Pinkse offer a valuable typology of corporate biodiversity protection strategies based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, the preloss (proactive) strategies of conservation and compensation, and the ...

Extraction of Photosynthetic and Non-Photosynthetic Vegetation Cover in Typical Grasslands Using UAV Imagery and an Improved SegFormer Model

Remote Sensing
Accurate monitoring of the coverage and distribution of photosynthetic (PV) and non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) in the grasslands of semi-arid regions is crucial for understanding the environment and addressing climate change. However, the extraction

Leader–Member Exchange, Compliance and Sustainability Performance in Carbon‐Market Governance: A Global South Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how Leader–Member Exchange quality shapes engagement, compliance, and sustainability performance within Uganda's emerging carbon‐trading market, adopting LMX theory to sustainability governance in a Global South context. A cross‐sectional survey of 206 carbon‐market participants in Uganda measured LMX quality, environmental

Harnessing Native Al/Si Impurities in Bamboo Black Liquor for Self‐Templated Closed‐Pore Hard Carbon Anodes

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A scalable strategy utilizing native impurities in bamboo lignin black liquor is proposed to construct a closed‐pore, rich hard carbon. Controlled impurity removal and high‐temperature reconstruction enable the conversion of open pores into abundant closed pores, thereby promoting sodium cluster storage.

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.

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Maximising trait evenness promotes the recovery of plant species richness in managed grasslands

Ecography, EarlyView.
Land‐use intensification threatens biodiversity, and restoring degraded ecosystems remains challenging due to the difficulty of identifying the rules governing community assembly and dynamics. Investigating the temporal dynamics of trait‐abundance distributions (TADs) along long‐term time series offers a promising approach to disentangle the influence ...
