Abstract Aims Vegetation‐plot records provide information on the presence and cover or abundance of plants co‐occurring in same community. data are spread across research groups, environmental agencies biodiversity centers and, thus, rarely accessible at continental global scales. Here we present sPlot database, which collates vegetation plots worldwide to allow for exploration patterns taxonomic, functional phylogenetic diversity plant community level. Results version 2.1 contains from...
To date, an overwhelming number of research findings on Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) conduct financial performance remains inconclusive. Furthermore, has not identified nor explained the "underlying mechanisms" behind this relationship. encourage future research, we discuss mechanisms by identifying first-order, mediating, moderating variables. We synthesize recent studies for emerging themes implications; argue a process integrated approach modelling causality between ESG...
Abstract— We have done a detailed petrologic study of the angrite, D'Orbigny, and geochemical it Sahara 99555. D'Orbigny is an igneous‐textured rock composed Ca‐rich olivine, Al‐Ti‐diopside‐hedenbergite, subcalcic kirschsteinite, two generations hercynitic spinel anorthite, with mesostasis phases ulvöspinel, Ca‐phosphate, silico‐phosphate phase Fe‐sulfide. report unknown Fe‐Ca‐Al‐Ti‐silicate in not previously found angrites. One large, rounded homogeneous grain different composition than...
Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary contains the northernmost coral reef ecosystem in Gulf of Mexico, with >50% living cover.Historically, this system has harbored a healthy community, relatively free disease limited mortality from bleaching or other factors.In July 2016 an unprecedented localized event was documented at East Bank affecting area approximately 5.6 ha (2.6% reef).Within area, up to 82% colonies succumbed partial total mortality, along invertebrates spanning numerous...
Windthrow plays a critical role in maintaining species diversity temperate forests. Do large-scale strong wind events (i.e., tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, typhoons and severe cyclonic storms) increase tree severely damaged forest areas? hurricanes (tropical cyclones that occurs the Atlantic Ocean northeastern Pacific Ocean) lead to altered relative abundance of shade-tolerant shade-intolerant species? Did historic alter succession trajectory forests? We used nearly 70-year...
In American business schools, the higher position, lower female representation, especially when including additional intersections of identity such as race, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Our article aims to supplement existing research regarding gender bias underrepresentation in academia, particularly schools. Such can uncover faculty issues, work toward mitigating biases related diversity inclusion, bring a needed voice discussion for purpose moving solutions. To build our hypotheses,...
The Alaska Arctic Vegetation Archive (AVA-AK, GIVD-ID: NA-US-014) is a free, publically available database archive of vegetation-plot data from the tundra region northern Alaska.The currently contains 24 datasets with 3,026 non-overlapping plots.Of these, 74% have geolocation 25-m or better precision.Species cover and header are stored in Turboveg database.A standardized Pan Species List provides consistent nomenclature for vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens archive.A web-based online...

Invasive species are a major threat to natural ecosystems. To combat the destructive potential of arriving invasive species, many resource managers have adopted an "early detection and rapid response" (EDRR) strategy. A key component EDRR is "watch list" that yet be detected in managed area prioritized for surveillance, reporting, other responses. However, areas with limited resources may not capacity develop useful watch lists. address this need, we developed automated process use data from...

Young firms and established have a tendency to emphasize one type of organizational learning their detriment. This reduces ambidexterity makes them susceptible failure. study explores how two high-tech manufacturing use cost information from an accounting system balance exploitation exploration for ambidexterity. A successful growth firm revival are examined since both these business life-cycle stages focus on strategy aggressive building. The evidence shows that the achieve is different...
In December 2005, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with City of Houston, Texas, began collecting discrete water-quality samples for nutrients, total organic carbon, bacteria (Escherichia coli and coliform), atrazine, suspended sediment at two USGS streamflow-gaging stations that represent watersheds contributing to Lake Houston (08068500 Spring Creek near Spring, Tex., 08070200 East Fork San Jacinto River New Caney, Tex.). Data from collected during 2005–9, conjunction...
