Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Biotic modulators of global change effects on plant communities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting future plant biodiversity and productivity is critical for prioritizing global change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts. One major challenge is that we know remarkably little about how interspecific interactions may modulate the effects of global change factors on diversity and productivity.

The environmental dependence of ecological interaction networks

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interactions between species are often assumed to occur whenever species pairs co‐occur, allowing us to reconstruct local ecological networks from a deterministic ‘metaweb’. Over the past few years, an increasing number of papers have called for a reassessment of this simplistic assumption.

Elaborating the Motivations and Attitudes Driving Interest in Voluntary Biodiversity Credits

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global biodiversity loss has prompted the search for new sources of conservation finance, such as voluntary biodiversity credits (VBCs). However, despite optimistic market projections, current uptake of VBCs is limited. Adopting an interpretive approach, we analyse 21 semistructured interviews with early market actors (buyers, sellers ...

Policy and Market Mechanisms for Sustainable Finance: A Systematic Review and Research Agenda

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable finance has emerged as a critical instrument for addressing the dual challenges of climate change and sustainable development. Nonetheless, a substantial financing gap persists, while the concept remains under‐theorized without a universally accepted definition, and empirical evidence of its effectiveness remains inconsistent and ...

Net‐Zero Transition and Its Impact on Firms' Energy Efficiency and Economic Growth Within the Framework of Sustainable Development Goals: A Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to net zero (NZ) faces challenges such as uneven institutional readiness, fragmented policy frameworks and rising energy demands from population growth, economic expansion and artificial intelligence (AI). These obstacles are intensified by technological, financial and regulatory uncertainties that impede coordinated efforts ...
