Summary: Measuring biodiversity impact is a relatively new field that has yet to address the dynamic complexity and abrupt ecosystem changes. Incorporating resilience thinking from the natural sciences can enhance corporate biodiversity impact measurement. We propose seven key mechanisms to inform measurement development and discuss opportunities for accounting researchers to advance measurement approaches connected to ecosystem resilience.

Summary: The Lamiaceae family of plants, known for their pharmacological and toxicological properties, has the potential to be a source of alternative herbicides. However, gaps in our knowledge need to be addressed before adopting their allelopathic activities.

Summary: This study discusses the development of SIGeR-RV, an RMS developed in Chile for road networks exposed to multiple natural hazards. The system serves as a tool for decision makers to estimate budget requirements, identify vulnerable road segments, and assess the socioeconomical impacts of risk reduction.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of repeated glyphosate use on weed density, richness, diversity, and composition in arable cropping systems. The study finds that intensive glyphosate use in the recent past reduces species richness and true diversity, but does not affect weed density and weed community composition.

Summary: Transportation asset management is a systematic process for the operation, maintenance, and upgrade of physical transportation assets over their life cycle. However, integrating transportation resilience into this process remains a ongoing challenge for transportation agencies. Given the potential damage and cascading effects of natural hazard events on transportation assets and critical networks, addressing this challenge is crucial.

Summary: This study used a mathematical model to investigate the relationship between community synchrony and ecological invasions. The findings suggest that synchronous communities are more resistant and resilient to invasion, and emphasize the importance of protecting compensatory and weakly synchronous communities.

Summary: Secondary forests are expected to dominate future tropical landscapes, providing crucial ecosystem services to humanity. A study in a Mexican Pacific coast site showed rapid recovery of multiple forest resources provision, microclimate regulation, and carbon storage within the first two decades of succession. While carbon sequestration slightly increased over time, the supply of forage did not show a clear trend. The interactions among different ecosystem services varied over time, with higher strength in farmlands and old-growth forests. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive forest management practices to recover critical ecosystem services in tropical dry forests.

Summary: This study discusses the diversity of fungal secondary metabolites that are phytotoxic to weeds and the methods commonly used to extract, characterize, identify and exploit them for weed management. The 183 phytotoxic fungal secondary metabolites identified in this review have different toxic effects on plants, including inhibition of germination, root and vegetative growth, and tissue and organ alterations. The biochemical characterization of these metabolites requires specialized knowledge and tools, as well as toxicity tests and effectiveness evaluations in laboratory and field conditions.

Summary: Tropical forests have high resilience and can naturally regrow on abandoned lands, with soil and plant functioning recovering the fastest. The recovery of forest attributes is interrelated, with three independent clusters identified related to structure, species diversity, and species composition. Embracing secondary forests as a low-cost, natural solution can contribute to ecosystem restoration, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity conservation.

Summary: This study examines the multidimensional resilience in the context of flood recovery, finding that the physical, social, and financial dimensions are all part of the recovery process. Conflicting impacts and dependencies exist between these dimensions, necessitating coordination and trade-offs.

Summary: Herbicide resistance is a significant issue in weed management. Glyphosate is the dominant herbicide used and controls a wide range of weeds, including Lolium rigidum. Some populations of L. rigidum in Australia have developed resistance to glyphosate and can now grow throughout the summer. The resistance of three L. rigidum populations, including a glyphosate-resistant summer-emerging population, a glyphosate-susceptible winter-emerging population, and a winter-emerging population with unknown resistance status, was analyzed. The analysis showed that the summer-emerging glyphosate-resistant population was significantly more resistant to glyphosate than the winter-emerging glyphosate-susceptible population. However, no target-site mutations were found in the resistant population, suggesting non-target-site resistance.

Summary: Increasing a city's food supply chain diversity can boost its resistance to mild to moderate food shocks by up to 15%. An intensity-duration-frequency model linking food shock risk to supply chain diversity has been developed, based on empirical data from metropolitan areas in the USA during years of moderate to severe droughts. This model explains a city's resistance to food shocks as a function of its food supply chain's Shannon diversity and provides a simple and operationally useful tool for policymakers to improve resilience to food supply shocks.

Summary: To address the ecological crises and social inequities of the Anthropocene, a new conservation paradigm is rising that recognizes the importance of humans in nature and their positive impact on ecosystem health through land stewardship. This study explores the emergence of this new model and discusses the methods needed for researching and coordinating stewardship as part of conservation landscape planning. Updating conservation frameworks to include the positive roles people play in ecosystem health can catalyze more effective and equitable nature conservation and other societal transformations for just sustainability.
