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 ...

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

Ecolabels as Instruments for Biodiversity Governance in Agri‐Food Systems: A Comparative Assessment of EU Certification Schemes

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity underpins ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services, yet it continues to decline due to intensive agriculture, pollution, habitat loss and climate change. Although ecolabels are increasingly used to communicate sustainability attributes and influence consumer choices, their role in addressing biodiversity ...

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.

Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

How to reduce sampling error in species population monitoring: from theory to methods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Progress towards national and international targets to halt and reverse declines in species' abundances will be assessed using multispecies indicators (MSIs). A distinction must be drawn between two MSIs. One is the ideal, but unobserved, MSI that would have been measured had all species and sites within the scope of the target been sampled.

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.

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.

Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

Ecography, EarlyView.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...

Increasing concentrate feeding level in early lactation dairy cows fed cut herbage linearly decreased methane yield and intensity

Animal Nutrition
The use of supplementary feeds, including concentrates, on New Zealand dairy farms has increased in recent decades and this could have mitigated methane (CH4) emissions by decreasing the forage-to-concentrate ratio. The forage-to-concentrate ratio in the
