“…Recent projections of climate change indicate that South America a greater variability in rainfall patterns and with longer and more intense periods of drought (Llopart et al 2020; Gomes et al 2022). These unpredictable drought cycles will have potentially devastating effects on forest and agricultural plantations, reducing production capacity, and causing considerable economic losses (Grüter et al 2022;Jiménez et al 2023). Production capacity will be reduced mainly because of water de cits that will affect cellular processes, leaf expansion, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates, foliar abscission, and photosynthetic activities (King and Purcell 2017; Pappas et al 2022).…”

Severe drought is expected to increase in frequency and intensity in South America, likely causing decreased plant productivity and altering species distributions. Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is a tree species native to South America and has an ecological, social, and economic importance in several countries. Natural forests and cultivated areas of yerba mate will be endangered by climate change because of the expected reduction in water availability. Here we determined how four clonal genotypes of yerba mate (BRS BLD Yari, BRS BLD Aupaba, BRS 408, and EC40) respond to water deficits by evaluating the plants’ morphophysiological and biochemical characteristics when subjected to four levels of soil water holding capacity (WHC at 100%, 80%, 60%, or 40%) over 60 days. We observed a reduction in plant height and biomass accumulation related to the decrease in water availability; physiological and biochemical parameters indicated that water-deficit stress reduced the plants’ C assimilation and increased their production of bioactive compounds. BRS BLD Yari and BRS BLD Aupaba had a higher tolerance to low water availability, whereas the EC40 and BRS 408 genotypes experienced a more pronounced reduction in growth and biomass accumulation. Understanding how different yerba mate genotypes respond to water deficit is essential for favoring species conservation and developing climate-adapted breeding programs.

“…In the complex field of plant science, knowledge of the many difficulties that plants encounter from both living and non-living stresses is essential for maintaining biodiversity and managing natural resources in a sustainable manner, in addition to guaranteeing global food security. Biologic stressors, which are brought on by living things (such as bacteria, viruses, fungus, and insects) and have the potential to cause serious harm, financial losses, and food shortages, are a persistent hazard to plants [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Simultaneously, abiotic stresses impede plant growth, development, and productivity [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Corporate greenwashing and pro‐environmental behavior of employees have attracted a significant amount of research attention in journals related to corporate governance, green and sustainable development. However, limited research has currently investigated the relationship between the two, especially in today's globalized business environment. To fill this research gap, this study conducts a cross‐cultural validation of connection between the two, covering four countries: China, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, and Japan. The study uses structural equation model and fsQCA methods for empirical analysis. The empirical results reveal that in China, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, and Japan: (1) corporate greenwashing suppresses employees' pro‐environmental behavior; (2) corporate greenwashing leads to employees developing perceptions of corporate hypocrisy, negative pro‐environmental attitudes, and organizational cynicism; (3) corporate hypocrisy perception, negative pro‐environmental attitude, and organizational cynicism lead to employees displaying negative pro‐environmental behaviors; (4) corporate hypocrisy perception, negative pro‐environmental attitude, and organizational cynicism significantly mediate the influence of corporate greenwashing on employees' pro‐environmental behavior; (5) the mediating effects of these three variables do not significantly differ across the four countries; (6) the analysis results from the fsQCA method show that in China, there are 6 configurations leading to employees displaying significant (strong) negative pro‐environmental behaviors, while in the United Kingdom there are 5, and in the Republic of Korea and Japan there are 3 and 5, respectively. This cross‐cultural study offers insights for corporate management, aiding in understanding and mitigating the effects of greenwashing on employee pro‐environmental behavior. It also bolsters the creation of efficacious corporate environmental practices policies and serves as a resource for future cross‐cultural environmental preservation and corporate governance research.
