The relationship between epilithic biofilm stability and its associated meiofauna under two patterns of flood disturbance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Habitat stability is an important driver of ecological community composition and development. River epilithic biofilms are particularly unstable habitats for the establishment of benthic communities because they are regularly disturbed by floods. Our aim

Algal Biomass from Wastewater and Flue Gases as a Source of Bioenergy

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Algae are without doubt the most productive photosynthetic organisms on Earth; they are highly efficient in converting CO2 and nutrients into biomass. These abilities can be exploited by culturing microalgae from wastewater and flue gases for effective ...

Eighty years of food-web response to interannual variation in discharge recorded in river diatom frustules from an ocean sediment core. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Little is known about the importance of food-web processes as controls of river primary production due to the paucity of both long-term studies and of depositional environments which would allow retrospective fossil analysis.

The influence of nutrient concentration on algal biomass and invertebrate communities in agricultural streams : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
High nutrient inputs have generally been identified as responsible for the degradation of lowland rivers and lakes in New Zealand and internationally. Nutrients have been shown to influence algal community growth rate and composition.

Effect of near‐bed turbulence on chronic detachment of epilithic biofilm: Experimental and modeling approaches. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The biomass dynamics of epilithic biofilm, a collective term for a complex microorganism community that grows on gravel bed rivers, was investigated by coupling experimental and numerical approaches focusing on epilithic biofilm‐flow interactions.

Technobiological Pathways for High‐CO₂ Capture Using Micro‐/Macroalgae: Genetic Engineering, Process Automation, and Value‐Added Bioproducts

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...
