Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Improving crop condition monitoring using phenologically aligned vegetation index anomalies – A case study in central Iowa

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Timely monitoring of crop conditions is essential for optimizing and assessing agricultural management. Vegetation indices (VIs) derived from remote sensing data can be useful for assessing crop conditions on a large spatial scale.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Letting People in: Redefining Collaboration in Wildland–Urban Interface Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intensifying wildfire regimes and expanding human settlements into wilderness areas have heightened concerns about the wildland–urban interface (WUI) due to the associated increase in fire risk. However, the WUI presents broader social‐ecological challenges that go beyond wildfire risk and remain understudied.

Hydrological Factors for Phosphorus Transfer from Agricultural Soils

, 1999
Understanding and managing against phosphorus (P) transfer from agricultural soils to receiving waters is a multidisciplinary task in which the role of hydrology is particularly difficult to simplify. We review current knowledge to define the spatial and temporal controls on P transfer from agricultural soils via the various hydrological pathways ...

The hydrology of a small fish pond at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi Experimental Fish Farm [PDF]

, 2001
The monthly and seasonal water requirements of a small fish pond (0.068ha; maximum capacity of 613.83m super(3)) at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi Fish Farm (Benue, Nigeria) were determined during the period of February to August 1996.

By‐product of heparin extraction as a sustainable alternative to enhance the use of nitrogen in agriculture

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the potential of a new organic fertilizer derived from porcine intestinal mucosa (designated BHE), a by‐product of the heparin extraction process, as a sustainable nitrogen (N) source for agriculture. The work was conducted in two stages: (i) chemical and spectroscopic characterization of BHE compared with poultry litter ...
