Temperature Is Likely an Important Omission in Interpreting Vegetation Optical Depth

Geophysical Research Letters
Vegetation optical depth (VOD) satellite microwave retrievals provide significant insights into vegetation water content and responses to hydroclimatic changes. While VOD variations are commonly linked to dry biomass and live fuel moisture content (LFMC),

Elaborating the Motivations and Attitudes Driving Interest in Voluntary Biodiversity Credits

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global biodiversity loss has prompted the search for new sources of conservation finance, such as voluntary biodiversity credits (VBCs). However, despite optimistic market projections, current uptake of VBCs is limited. Adopting an interpretive approach, we analyse 21 semistructured interviews with early market actors (buyers, sellers ...

1 km L-VOD retrieval from the synergy of Sentinel-1 SAR and SMOS radiometer data for subtropical evergreen vegetation dynamics in China

Ecological Indicators
The L-band vegetation optical depth (L-VOD) with high spatial resolution is essential for monitoring vegetation traits. However, the spatial resolution of current VOD products is relatively coarse (∼ 9–36 km).

Boosting Bifacial Output Power of Ag‐CIGS Solar Cells by Optimizing ITO Back‐Contact Thickness for Tandem Applications

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Optimized ITO back contact with pre‐Ga supply growth and Ag incorporation suppresses GaOx formation and interface recombination in bifacial CIGS solar cells. The devices achieve 17.25% front and 5.77% rear efficiency, delivering record bifacial power density up to 32.26 mW cm−2 in 4T perovskite/CIGS tandem architectures under enhanced albedo ...

How Consumers Contest Legitimacy: Skepticism Toward Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Consumer skepticism toward Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives operates not only as an individual‐level response but also as a societal governance mechanism that disciplines firms and reshapes organizational legitimacy. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with consumers in an emerging Latin American economy, this study advances an ...

Spatial Correlation Increase in Single‐Sensor Satellite Data Reveals Loss of Amazon Rainforest Resilience

Earth's Future
The Amazon rainforest (ARF) is threatened by deforestation and climate change, which could trigger a regime shift to a savanna‐like state. Whilst previous work has suggested that forest resilience has declined in recent decades, that work was based only ...

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...
