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 ...

Emissions of methane from northern peatlands: a review of management impacts and implications for future management options

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Northern peatlands constitute a significant source of atmospheric methane (CH4). However, management of undisturbed peatlands, as well as the restoration of disturbed peatlands, will alter the exchange of CH4 with the atmosphere.

Carbon Losses from Topsoil in Abandoned Peat Extraction Sites Due to Ground Subsidence and Erosion

Land, 2023
Peat erosion has a significant impact on soil fertility, agricultural productivity, and climate change dynamics. Through this process, the topsoil rich in organic matter and carbon (C) is removed and can travel long distances, causing a net C loss ...

Potential for using remote sensing to estimate carbon fluxes across Northern peatlands: a review [PDF]

, 2017
Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth’s atmosphere.

Soil Carbon Markets in the Making: Power Relations and Matters of Concern in Offsetting and Insetting

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates emerging soil carbon markets and seeks to identify the groups of actors and power relations that constitute their structure and function. Voluntary soil carbon markets (VSCMs) are emerging globally as a key mechanism for generating carbon removals as part of climate mitigation efforts.

Biodiversity of Terrestrial Testate Amoebae in Western Siberia Lowland Peatlands

Data, 2023
Testate amoebae are unicellular eukaryotic organisms covered with an external skeleton called a shell. They are an important component of many terrestrial ecosystems, especially peatlands, where they can be preserved in peat deposits and used as a proxy ...

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions into the Atmosphere from the Northern Peatlands Using the Wetland-DNDC Simulation Model: A Case Study of the Great Vasyugan Mire, Western Siberia

Atmosphere, 2022
The peatlands of Western Siberia occupy an area of about 1 million km2 and act as important regulator of carbon exchange between the earth and the atmosphere.

Green water, wetlands, and atmospheric moisture recycling ‐ An emerging new paradigm for grassland science

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The importance of green water in water resource management. Conceptual classification of terrestrial water components highlighting the central role of green water in land‐atmosphere interactions. This schematic distinguishes green water (soil moisture available for plant uptake and evapotranspiration) from blue water (surface water, groundwater, and ...
