When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Silicon drives distinctly the bacterial community in the rhizosphere of maize and common bean

Silicon (Si) has been recognized as a beneficial nutrient for plants, though its effect on microbial communities within the rhizosphere remains poorly understood, particularly when comparing plant species.

Rhizosphere interactions and the exploitation of microbial agents for the biological control of plant-parasitic nematodes

, 2000
A range of specialist and generalist microorganisms in the rhizosphere attacks plant-parasitic nematodes. Plants have a profound effect on the impact of this microflora on the regulation of nematode populations by influencing both the dynamics of the ...

Sustainable Cropping Requires Adaptation to a Heterogeneous Rhizosphere

, 2020
Root–soil interactions in the rhizosphere are central to resource acquisition and crop production in agricultural systems. However, apart from studies in idealized experimental systems, rhizosphere processes in real agricultural soils in situ are largely

Stacking Efficiency of Oryza sativa Plant Microbial Fuel Cells in Paddy Fields: Power Generation and Methane Reduction as Measures for Greener Technology

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The 3D‐printed MFCs in paddies during rice cultivation generated a maximum power density of 26 µW/m2 within 3 days via a series–parallel configuration and theoretically reduced methane by 0.012–0.016 kg for 1 m2 of land use through an LCA based on existing methane reduction data in rice paddies.

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Plant mechanisms contributing to acid impairment of nodulation of Medicago murex and Medicago sativa by Sinorhizobium medicae [PDF]

, 2003
The widespread sowing of the perennial forage legume Medicago sativa to lower groundwater tables in south-western Australia is limited as many soils targeted for its use are too acidic (pHCaCl2 < 5) for consistent nodulation with Sinorhizobium spp.

Colonization of the developing rhizosphere of sugar beet seedlings by potential biocontrol agents applied as seed treatments [PDF]

, 2002
Aims: Poor colonization of the rhizosphere is a major constraint of seed treatment biological control. The objectives of this study were to; examine the colonization of the rhizosphere of sugar beet seedlings by selected rhizobacteria; determine the ...

Cross species metabolic complementation of vitamin K2 biosynthesis determines emergent suppression of tomato Fusarium wilt

iMeta, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics approaches have revealed a cross‐species functional emergence phenomenon leading to emergent suppression of Fusarium wilt. We show that a three‑species consortium exhibits emergent suppression of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) that is absent in single or pairwise cultures.
