The Ecological U‐Turn in Nordic Forestry: Policy Learning, Measurement, and the Retrenchment of Ecological Ambitions

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, environmental policy has shifted toward ecosystem protection and biodiversity conservation, a development often described as an ecological turn. This article argues that in practice this turn has taken the form of an ecological “U‐turn,” as environmental ambitions are subordinated to production‐oriented objectives.

Exploring sub-second and sub-micron X-ray tomographic imaging of liquid water in PEFC gas diffusion layers

open access: yes, 2019
In the last decade X-ray tomographic microscopy (XTM) has become a powerful 3D characterization technique for polymer electrolyte fuel cells. In order to improve both spatial and temporal resolution for operando polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) XTM ...

Power Generation Characteristics of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells Using Carbon Nanowalls as Catalyst Support Material

open access: yesC, 2022
We evaluated the power generation characteristics of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) composed of Pt-supported carbon nanowalls (CNWs) and a microporous layer (MPL) of carbon black on carbon paper (CP) as catalyst support materials.

Sustainable Development and Value Co‐Creation in International Business‐to‐Business Contexts: An Empirical Analysis in the Nonwoven Industry

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulations and the collective influence of the value chain compel business‐to‐business (B2B) actors within the nonwoven (NW) manufacturing industry to drive sustainable development. However, the literature rarely addresses how B2B actors aim to align with sustainable development to co‐create value and what challenges they face.

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

From quantity to quality: the evolution of forest restoration in the United Kingdom

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the past century, forest cover in the United Kingdom has increased threefold. However, the pathways, achievements, and shortcomings of this expansion remain underexplored. Objectives This study analyses the drivers, implementation, and legacies of forest restoration in the United Kingdom before and after 1990, which is when ...
