Quantifying Carbon Sequestration in Woody Trees of Makurdi Zoological Garden, Benue State, Nigeria: A Non-Destructive Approach

UMYU Scientifica Journal
Carbon emissions and reflection are some of the most significant and urgent environmental problems in the world today due to climate change, and because of their ability to sequester Carbon, trees significantly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the

Models to estimate the above and below ground carbon stocks from a subtropical scrub forest of Pakistan

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Despite an increased number of studies on carbon stock estimates from tropical and temperate forests, little information is available for subtropical forests, although they constitute a significant proportion of global forest cover. In this present study,

The effect of elevated air CO2 concentration on dendrometric parameters and biomass of European beech and Norway spruce in their monocultures and intermixtures

Central European Forestry Journal
An increased CO2 concentration should have a positive effect on tree growth, but in different species mixtures, due to mutual interaction between species, this effect may be insignificant or even negative. Therefore, our research focused on the influence

The above- and below-ground biomass of alpine meadow on eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and their relationships with abiotic and biotic factors

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Our knowledge of grassland biomass and its relationships with abiotic and biotic factors on eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is extremely limited. Here, we measured above-ground biomass (AGB), below-ground biomass (BGB) and root/shoot ratio (R/S) of

Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Estimating and mapping woodland biomass and carbon using Landsat 8 vegetation index: A case study in Dirmaga Watershed, Ethiopia [PDF]

Computational Ecology and Software, 2022
This study was conducted to estimate the above and below ground carbon storage in the Woodlands of Dirmaga Watershed, North Western Ethiopia. The field data were collected through systematic random sampling techniques of 40 sample plots. The above-ground

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron

Carbon and nitrogen stocks and below ground allometry in temperate mangroves

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Mangroves play an important role in the storage of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) within estuarine systems, yet are being lost at an alarming rate throughout the tropics.
