Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain

open access: yesBusiness 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 ...

The Interrelationship Between Land Values, Woodland Planting, and Farm Characteristics

open access: yesLand
There are well-documented environmental benefits of the impact of tree planting but limited research on the implications for agricultural land values. Although trees provide significant public and economic benefits, farmers’ perceptions of their value ...

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Regeneration failure, fire, topography, and climate interact to drive temperate wet forest landscapes into fire traps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

ENHANCEMENT OF TIMBER PRODUCTION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Considering the wide distribution of chestnut trees throughout Europe (including outside EU countries, from Portugal to Georgia and Azerbaijan), and the high density of forest (France and Italy count together up to 14.000 km2 of chestnut forests), chestnut timber production proves to be a very good opportunity for all the Countries where it grows ...

Assessing the externalities of timber production

open access: yesForest Policy and Economics, 2022
Abstract Responsible forest policy promotes management that does not impair the multiple uses of forests or decrease their regulative effects and biological diversity. The most important regulative effect of boreal forests is their ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
