Sustainability and Earnings Quality: The Moderating Role of Institutional Factors

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of firms' sustainability performance on earnings quality, with a particular focus on the moderating role of institutional factors in Latin American countries for the period 2012–2023. A panel data set with 390 companies was structured with information sourced from the London Stock Exchange ...

Non-structural carbohydrate concentrations in tree organs vary across biomes and leaf habits, but are independent of the fast-slow plant economic spectrum

Frontiers in Plant Science
Carbohydrate reserves play a vital role in plant survival during periods of negative carbon balance. Under a carbon-limited scenario, we expect a trade-offs between carbon allocation to growth, reserves, and defense. A resulting hypothesis is that carbon

Changes of leaf functional traits in karst rocky desertification ecological environment and the driving factors

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Karst rocky desertification (KRD), a degraded land form, has seriously damaged the balance and stability of the ecosystem. Plant functional traits reflect the response and adaptation of plants to the growth environment. However, little is known about the

Community leaf dry matter content predicts plant production in simple and diverse grassland

Ecosphere, 2022
Plant growth correlates with values of collinear (covarying) traits from the leaf economics spectrum. Environmental variation and differences in community composition may alter contributions of these traits to plant production and thereby limit the ...

The Prevention of Eating Disorders in Australian Adolescents: A Modeled Cost‐Effectiveness Study

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prevention programs for eating disorders (EDs) have the potential to reduce the onset of these diseases and improve the mental health and well‐being of the general population. However, there is mixed evidence on whether routine implementation of such programs at the population level is cost‐effective.

Influence of topography and moisture and nutrient availability on green alder function on the low arctic tundra, NT [PDF]

, 2017
The Arctic has warmed by at least 3°C over the past 50 years and this rapid warming is expected to continue. Climate warming is driving the proliferation of shrubs across the tundra biome with implications for energy balance, climate, hydrology, nutrient

Effect of simulated warming on leaf functional traits of urban greening plants

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Response and adaptation strategies of plants to the environment have always been the core issues in ecological research. So far, relatively little study exists on its functional traits responses to warming, especially in an urban environment ...

Functional trait divergence associated with heteromorphic leaves in a climbing fig

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionPlants that display heteroblasty possess conspicuous variations in leaf morphology between their juvenile and adult phases, with certain species retaining juvenile-like leaves even in adulthood.

Trade-offs Between Water Transport Capacity and Drought Resistance in Neotropical Canopy Liana and Tree Species [PDF]

, 2016
In tropical forest canopies, it is critical for upper shoots to efficiently provide water to leaves for physiological function while safely preventing loss of hydraulic conductivity due to cavitation during periods of soil water deficit or high ...
