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.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to verify whether institutional quality affects the relationship between green innovation and firm efficiency within the high‐tech manufacturing sectors. To estimate jointly the parameters of a stochastic frontier and the coefficients of a model explaining technical inefficiency, we employed the one‐step estimation ...

Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.

Green Hydrogen for Public Transportation: Insights From an ABM and From Palma de Mallorca Case Study
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The development of green hydrogen (GH2) value chains is crucial for decarbonizing sectors such as transport and industry. Their emergence, however, requires coordination among diverse actors, technologies, and regulations, which traditional analytical approaches struggle to capture.
