Vertical Greening Systems: Technological Benefits, Progresses and Prospects
Sustainability, 2022 A vertical greening system is becoming increasingly crucial in resolving the energy crisis and environmental problems in a sustainable ecosystem. Researchers have conducted a comprehensive study on vertical greening systems from technology, functional ...

Journal of Corporate Finance, 2020 We investigate whether and how the environmental consciousness (greenness for short) of firms and banks is reflected in the pricing of bank credit. Using a large international sample of syndicated loans over the period 2011-2019, we find that firms' are indeed rewarded for being green in the form of cheaper loans--however, only when borrowing from a ...

Summer soil drying exacerbated by earlier spring greening of northern vegetation
Science Advances, 2020 Extra water loss from earlier spring greening dries soils locally in summer, but can moisten soils in areas downwind. Earlier vegetation greening under climate change raises evapotranspiration and thus lowers spring soil moisture, yet the extent and ...

Where Are Global Vegetation Greening and Browning Trends Significant?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Global greening trends have been widely reported based on long‐term remote sensing data of terrestrial ecosystems. Typically, a hypothesis test is performed for each grid cell; this leads to multiple hypothesis testing and false positive trend detection.

Summer warming explains widespread but not uniform greening in the Arctic tundra biome
Nature Communications, 2020 Arctic warming can influence tundra ecosystem function with consequences for climate feedbacks, wildlife and human communities. Yet ecological change across the Arctic tundra biome remains poorly quantified due to field measurement limitations and ...

China and India lead in greening of the world through land-use management
Nature Sustainability, 2019 Satellite data show increasing leaf area of vegetation due to direct factors (human land-use management) and indirect factors (such as climate change, CO2 fertilization, nitrogen deposition and recovery from natural disturbances).

Metabolic profile and transcriptome reveal the mystery of petal blotch formation in rose
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Petal blotch is a unique ornamental trait in angiosperm families, and blotch in rose petal is rare and has great esthetic value. However, the cause of the formation of petal blotch in rose is still unclear.
