Emerging Hotspots of Cropland Expansion on Steeper Tropical Terrains Intensify Tropical Forest Carbon Loss

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Tropical deforestation driven by agricultural expansion to meet growing food demand poses a rising threat to the global carbon cycle. While previous studies quantified agriculture‐related carbon losses, the role of cropland expansion remains poorly ...

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

Evaluation of Multiple Precipitation Products in the Hainan Island

open access: yesRedai dili
Global precipitation observations have been realized through the development of satellite remote-sensing technology. However, there is a lack of evaluation of remote-sensing precipitation products in complex tropical island terrains.

Extreme hourly precipitation over China: Research progress from 2010 to 2019

open access: yes暴雨灾害, 2019
This paper summarizes the research progress on extreme hourly precipitation (EXHP) over China in the past decade. The main results are as follows. (1) Thresholds of EXHP are usually defined using the percentile method or the empirical distribution ...

From Global Standards to Local Compliance: Implementation Heterogeneity in Cocoa Certification in Indonesia

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certified companies translate voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) into local practice, yet little is known about how company‐level implementation of VSS relates to farmer compliance. This paper examines Rainforest Alliance (RA) implementation by three certified companies in the Indonesian cocoa sector. Drawing on compliance and regulatory

Climatic thresholds and temporal decoupling drive reproductive phenology in Neotropical cloud forests: a 36‐year analysis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Reproductive phenology influences ecosystem functioning and climate sensitivity in tropical montane cloud forests, but phase‑specific climatic thresholds and the temporal coupling between flowering and fruiting remain poorly quantified over decadal scales. We analyzed a 36‑year monthly record (1983–2018) from a Venezuelan cloud forest (15 focal species)

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.
