2. Inorganic substances- There are various nutri ent elements and compounds, such as carbo n, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous, carbon-di-oxide, water, etc. These are involve din the cycling of ...

At the same time, ecosystems can also assist in the mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change. The mechanisms, potential and limits of such nature-based solutions to climate change need to be explored and quantified. This paper introduces a thematic issue dedicated to the interaction between climate change and the biosphere.

1. Introduction. Ecosystems have attracted increasing attention from management scholars over the past decade (Adner, 2017, Jacobides et al., 2018, Shipilov and Gawer, 2020).Inspired by the concept of biological ecosystems, management scholars have studied ecosystems since the introduction of the business ecosystem by Moore (1993).Other types of ecosystems have subsequently been conceptualised ...

1. Introduction. Ecosystem is at the center of the ecological structure: individual, population, community, ecosystem, landscape, region, and biosphere and is the core component of ecological research (Nachtomy et al., 2002).Ecosystem not only maintains the planet's biotic resources but can also be the carrier of pollutants that threaten human health through migration and transformation.

Safeguarding biodiversity 1,2,3 and ecosystem functions under global change 4,5 is of key importance for the provision of essential services to human societies 6.Geodiversity indices (i.e., the ...

Recent climate-change research largely confirms the impacts on US ecosystems identified in the 2009 National Climate Assessment and provides greater mechanistic understanding and geographic specificity for those impacts. Pervasive climate-change impacts on ecosystems are those that affect productivity of ecosystems or their ability to process chemical elements. Loss of sea ice, rapid warming ...

Where possible this paper is supported with case studies from the literature and a list of key literature is also provided. Key unknowns and proposed areas for future research for this particular ecosystem service are also identified. This paper comprises one of a set of ten papers on specific ecosystem services or themes.

Understanding the relationship between biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services concepts is essential for evidence-based policy development. We used text mining augmented by topic modelling to analyse abstracts of 15 310 peer-reviewed papers (from 2000 to 2020). We identified nine major topics; "Research & Policy", "Urban and Spatial Planning", "Economics & Conservation ...

practice of ecosystem management (Christensen et al. 1995). In a previous report by the Ecological Society of America, Lubchenco et al. (1991) selected ecosystem restoration as one of twelve featured topics for priority research in an ecological research agenda in support of sustaining the biosphere. Restoration and maintenance

This study provides guidance for scholars and practitioners starting research in the ecosystem services field. •. Eight key themes and twenty-eight approaches were identified within ecosystem services research. •. Conservation of biodiversity was the theme with the highest levels of activity and interest. •.

This paper takes stock of recent advancements in ecosystem scholarship and synthesizes the empirical reality of the causal mechanisms. We use these dynamics to position ecosystems in a broader context, within and beyond the domain of entrepreneurship research, and propose a transdisciplinary research program for ecosystem research and practice.

Abstract. Ecosystems are increasingly recognized as crucial for the success of a firm's innovation strategy and business model. They are also a topic attracting increasing academic interest, with more than 300 articles published in top journals since 1992, most in the past five years.

Systematic knowledge of the development, trends, and limitations of wetland ecosystem services (WES) is extremely meaningful for the direction of WES studies and wetland management. A systematic literature review was conducted by collecting 1711 peer-reviewed articles through the Web of Science and ScienceDirect by searching the "topic ...

We aim to provide an overview of the English language literature published after 2000 on 'excellence' in the academic research ecosystem. This literature review is part of a larger empirical study on notions of excellence in research funding organisations. Hence, the publications ultimately included in this review were selected for their ...

INTRODUCTION. The term ecosystem was coined in 1935 by the Oxford ecologist A.G. Tensely to encompass the interactions among biotic and abiotic. components of the environment at a given site. Ecosystem was defined in its presently accepted form by Eugene. Odum, "an unit that includes all the organisms, i.e., the community in.

The ecosystem concept is of increasing significance in the field of the management of technology and innovation. This paper provides an overview of 90 previous studies using the ecosystem concept in this field, all published in leading academic journals, and clarifies their four major research streams. The first stream is the industrial ecology ...

Leadership in cyberspace, the digital economy, and emerging digital technologies is central to advancing the U.S. vision set forth in the October 2022 National Security Strategy (NSS) of a "free, open, secure, and prosperous world.". As the lead foreign policy agency for the United States, the Department of State is advancing the 2023 ...
