Communications Earth & Environment
Understanding the impacts of glacier change on riverine ecosystems is limited by a lack of multi-year studies in glacierized mountain catchments quantifying the magnitude and stoichiometry of riverine biogeochemical yields.

Collaborating for Circularity: A Relational View Perspective on Buyer–Supplier Relationships in Restorative and Regenerative Supply Chains

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial firms are required to redesign their supply chains into restorative and regenerative archetypes, rethinking not only their own production systems but also relationships with suppliers that may possess resources, capabilities, and knowledge too complex to be developed on their own but vital for circular value creation.

Without management interventions, endemic wet‐sclerophyll forest is transitioning to rainforest in World Heritage listed K’gari (Fraser Island), Australia

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Wet‐sclerophyll forests are unique ecosystems that can transition to dry‐sclerophyll forests or to rainforests. Understanding of the dynamics of these forests for conservation is limited. We evaluated the long‐term succession of wet‐sclerophyll forest on

Biotic and abiotic drivers of ecosystem functioning differ between a temperate and a tropical region

Ecography, EarlyView.
Any single ecosystem will provide many ecosystem functions. Yet, we lack large‐scale, systematic studies of how abiotic factors can directly or indirectly – via effects on biodiversity – drive ecosystem functioning. In this study, we assessed the impact of climate, landscape and biotic community on ecosystem functioning in the temperate and tropical ...
