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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biotic and abiotic drivers of ecosystem functioning differ between a temperate and a tropical region
Ecography, EarlyView.Any single ecosystem will provide many ecosystem functions. Yet, we lack large‐scale, systematic studies of how abiotic factors can directly or indirectly – via effects on biodiversity – drive ecosystem functioning. In this study, we assessed the impact of climate, landscape and biotic community on ecosystem functioning in the temperate and tropical ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.
