Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Supply Chain Innovations for Food Waste and Loss: Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste and loss (FWL) remains a critical challenge across food supply chains (SCs) globally, with approximately one‐third of all food produced for human consumption discarded or lost each year. This study systematically reviews how supply chain innovation (SCI) can mitigate FWL.

Grey–green spatial morphology relates to summer daytime and nighttime land surface temperature across local climate zones in Wuhan

Scientific Reports
Urban grey and green spaces jointly shape the urban thermal environment, yet their associations with land surface temperature (LST) are spatially heterogeneous and context-dependent.

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

Business 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 ...

Ecological and biological role of lighting in the development and seasonal dynamics of northern white-cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) needles and its ornamental forms in Lviv [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)
For the research, we selected urban green spaces with a simple and complex planting rhythm, where we examined the effects of light on the results of competition between individuals, according to the nature of the light flow: from the top to the bottom of

Interface‐Engineered Li–Ni–O/Ni Heterostructures With Tunable Vacancies on Biochar Enable Biomass‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
This study shows that lithium induces Li–Ni–O/Ni heterostructures on biochar, creating oxygen vacancies and optimal acid–base environments that enhance steam activation and suppress carbon deposition. These interfacial effects and synergistic modulation lead to high hydrogen yields at moderate temperatures, providing a scalable catalyst design strategy
