How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Simulation of the specific surface area of snow using a one-dimensional physical snowpack model: implementation and evaluation for subarctic snow in Alaska [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2010
The specific surface area (SSA) of the snow constitutes a powerful parameter to quantify the exchange of matter and energy between the snow and the atmosphere. However, currently no snow physics model can simulate the SSA.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Green Is the New Gold: Redefining Opulent Lifestyle Through Organic Food Purchases

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior studies based on the Theory of Planned Behavior mostly examined the effects of health and environmental concerns on organic food consumption; however, few addressed the paradoxical relationships in the context of opulent or symbolic decorum.

New Features and Enhancements in Community Land Model (CLM5) Snow Albedo Modeling: Description, Sensitivity, and Evaluation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
We enhance the Community Land Model (CLM) snow albedo modeling by implementing several new features with more realistic and physical representations of snow‐aerosol‐radiation interactions. Specifically, we incorporate the following model enhancements: (a)

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Exploring the Physics of Two Thermodynamic Lake Ice Models

Water Resources Research
Thermodynamic lake ice models are valuable tools in the simulation of ice formation, growth, and decay. Appropriate application of these models necessitates a thorough understanding of model physics. Here, we examine the physics of two thermodynamic lake

Sustaining Circular Innovation Under Volatile Market Conditions: The Critical Role of Industry Platforms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While industry platforms are widely recognized as enablers of circular innovation, we still know little about how they evolve to scale and sustain innovation as economic conditions tighten and circular economy funding schemes become more selective.

Now you see it, now you don't: a case study of ephemeral snowpacks and soil moisture response in the Great Basin, USA [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Ephemeral snowpacks, or those that persist for  <  60 continuous days, are challenging to observe and model because snow accumulation and ablation occur during the same season.

CEO Managerial Ability and the Strategic Repetition of Climate Disclosures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether CEO managerial ability shapes the repetition of firms' climate‐related disclosures in mandatory 10‐K filings. Climate reporting is highly judgment based and central to firms' broader climate‐risk management strategies, yet little is known about why some firms repeatedly use similar climate narratives and others ...
