Can Hybrid Organisations Solve the Paradox of the Triple Bottom Line, and Does It Need Solving?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how B Corp certification enables hybrid organisations to integrate competing institutional logics of market and social purpose. Through a two‐stage qualitative design combining cross‐sector interviews with B Corps and an in‐depth case study, with a total of 30 participants, we analyse how certification supports hybrid ...

Discrimination of fungal disease infestation in oil-palm canopy hyperspectral reflectance data [PDF]

, 2009
This study focuses on the calibration of a statistical model of discrimination between different stages of a fungal disease attack on oil palm, based on field hyperspectral measurements at the canopy scale.

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Drivers of remotely sensed tree height heterogeneity across spatial scales: Tree species diversity effects depend on local conditions and forest type

Ecological Indicators
Forests with high structural complexity provide a variety of ecosystem functions and services. They are further associated with greater ecosystem stability.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

A Study of Ultrasonic Sensors to Intelligent Estimation of Tree Canopy Volumes

Journal of Agricultural Machinery, 2015
Many research projects have been conducted about using ultrasonic sensors to estimate canopy volume. This study investigates using software applications such as artificial neural network (ANN) to improve the estimation of canopy volume by using ...

Evaluating the Impact of Government Land Use Policies on Tree Canopy Coverage [PDF]

Many communities are experiencing the negative effects associated with not sustaining a sufficient level of tree canopy coverage. Tree canopy plays a crucial role in the environment, providing benefits such as clean water and air, erosion prevention ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...
