Remote Sensing Indicators: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)

open access: yes
Predicted monthly Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) dataset in a spatial resolution of 1 x 1 km based on MODIS and AVHRR datasets. For predicting the restrospective NDVI vaules the STARFM algorithm was utilized in a Python environment.

Sustainability Certifications as Strategic Tools: Environmental Accountability, Institutional Robustness and Global Convergence

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability certifications are increasingly used as strategic tools to advance accountability for environmental sustainability. This study addresses the challenge of fragmented national certification standards by proposing and applying a replicable method to assess the structural robustness and convergence of industry‐specific ...

African Twist of Circular Economy: Insights, Policies and Recommendations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the circular economy (CE) has gained traction, this paper argues that mainstream CE approaches risk being misaligned in the African context. Drawing on a mixed‐methods synthesis of empirical studies, policy documents and cross‐country examples, the study shows that Africa's CE transition is fragmented and uneven, leaving the continent at

Estimation of Vegetation Fraction in Beiyunhe District by Remote Sensing

open access: yesShuitu baochi yanjiu, 2006
Vegetation fraction is a very important index to score the vegetation coverage on the land surface and is used in many aspects as one of the input parameters.Based on the dimidiate pixel model and the normalized difference vegetation index,the vegetation

Do Incentive‐Based Policies Reduce Firm‐Level CO2$$ {}_2 $$ Emissions? Evidence From EU Cohesion Policy

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether incentive‐based policies reduce CO2$$ C{O}_2 $$ emissions among beneficiary Italian firms, using project‐level data from European cohesion policy. Exploiting quasi‐random variation in the timing of EU‐funded projects, we apply a staggered difference‐in‐differences design.

High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

Using Remotely Sensed Data to Explore Spatial and Temporal Relationships Between Photosynthetic Productivity of Vegetation and Malaria Transmission Intensities in Selected Parts of Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Spatial and temporal variations in malaria transmission are naturally associated with prevailing climatic and environmental factors, for example rainfall, humidity, temperature and human activities.

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.
