A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Seasonal and interannual variations of soil heterotrophic respiration and autotrophic respiration in subtropical forests of southeast China: independent process-based models

open access: yesGeoscience Letters
Soil respiration consists of two distinctive components: heterotrophic respiration (decomposition of soil organic matter) and autotrophic respiration (CO2 production from root system), which are driven by different factors.

A Natural Resource‐Based View of Circular Economy Practices in the Pharmaceutical Industry

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pharmaceutical industry is facing escalating environmental sustainability issues including gaseous emissions, waste generation, and excessive consumption of energy and non‐renewable materials. Nevertheless, the adoption of sustainable business models such as the circular economy (CE) is still in its infancy in this sector due to complex ...

The manipulation of aboveground litter input affects soil CO2 efflux in a subtropical liquidambar forest in China

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2019
Litters on the forest floor represent an important organic carbon (C) sources from aboveground plants to the soil, which therefore have a significant influence on belowground processes such as soil respiration.
