Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Drivers of Nature‐Related Investment Strategies Among Institutional Investors

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Institutional investors are increasingly responding to biodiversity loss through nature‐related investment strategies. Using survey data from 557 institutional investors, this study examines the drivers of strategy selection and how biodiversity risk is integrated across investor types, sizes, and regions.

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 ...

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 ...

Modeling Non‐GM Segregation Strategies at the Grain Elevator

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective As new opportunities arise for non‐genetically modified (non‐GM) products in grain markets, segregation becomes crucial but challenging in commodity‐friendly infrastructures such as grain elevators. This study developed probabilistic models using Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate three segregation strategies ...
