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 ...

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

A global daily seamless 9 km vegetation optical depth (VOD) product from 2010 to 2021 [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Vegetation optical depth (VOD) products provide information on vegetation water content and correlate with vegetation growth status; these are closely related to the global water and carbon cycles.

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 ...

Evaluation of optical and microwave-derived vegetation indices for monitoring aboveground biomass over China

Geo-spatial Information Science
The microwave-derived vegetation optical depth (VOD) products were used to monitor aboveground biomass (AGB) at regional to global scales, but the ability of VOD to monitor AGB in China is uncertain.

Synthesizing polyethersulphone membranes with hybrid iron/nickel nanoparticles for dyes removal: An efficient biogenesis approach

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Industrial wastewater contamination by azo dyes poses a significant environmental challenge. This study reports the green synthesis of bimetallic iron/nickel (Fe/Ni) nanoparticles using moringa leaf extract, which acted as both a reducing and capping agent, and their incorporation into polyethersulphone (PES) membranes to produce eco‐friendly ...

Gravimetric Vegetation Water Content Estimation for Corn Using L-Band Bi-Angular, Dual-Polarized Brightness Temperatures and Leaf Area Index

Remote Sensing, 2015
In this study, an algorithm to retrieve the gravimetric vegetation water content (GVWC, %) of corn was developed. First, the method for obtaining the optical depth from L-band (1.4 GHz) bi-angular, dual-polarized brightness temperatures (TB) for short ...

Valorization of Juice Industry Waste Into Foam‐Like Materials Using Mycelium as Natural Binder

CleanMat, EarlyView.
This study explores converting carrot pomace, a juice industry byproduct, into eco‐friendly mycelium‐based foams using Aspergillus oryzae. The foams, produced via submerged cultivation, grinding and freeze‐drying, showed promising mechanical properties comparable to commercial foams, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetics while promoting ...

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 ...
