A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is

Enhanced performance of gasification by blending coal into biomass in a fluidized bed two-stage system

Carbon Resources Conversion
Biomass, blended with a small amount of coal, was fed into a fluidized bed two-stage gasifier to produce low-tar H2-rich gas through O2-rich gasification.

Cerium‐Modified TiO2 Nanomaterials Derived From Upcycled Coffee Ground Waste for Photocatalytic Oxidation and Hydrogen Production via Photoreforming

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
Spent coffee grounds were valorized as a sustainable template for the solvent‐free synthesis of Ce‐loaded TiO2 photocatalysts, promoting enhanced Ce–Ti interactions and tailored morphology. The resulting materials were successfully applied in photocatalytic hydrogen production via ethanol photoreforming, gas‐phase 2‐propanol oxidation, and aqueous 5 ...

Repair mortars and new concretes with coal bottom and biomass ashes using rheological optimisation

, 2016
The objective of the present work is to analyse the potential of using non-classical additions in concrete and mortar compositions such as coal bottom ash (BA) and biomass ash (Bio), as partial replacing binder of ordinary Portland cement. It is intended to deal with production of these type of wastes and its accumulation and contribute to the ...

Combustion characteristics of some imported feedstocks and short rotation coppice (SRC) willow for UK power stations [PDF]

, 2012
The availability and sustainability of biomass is very crucial in the production of energy using biomass. Currently nearly two thirds of the biomass in the UK is being imported due to the limited supply of indigenous resources.

Self-healing behaviour of sustainable concretes with forest biomass ash and coal bottom ash aggregates under CO₂-saturated environments

Materiales de Construccion
This study investigates the autogenous self-healing behaviour of two concrete mixes: a reference concrete, and a sustainable ternary mix incorporating 25% forest biomass ash and 15% metakaolin as partial cement replacement, together with 30% porous fine

Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1231-1251, October 2026.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond

Characterisation of Bottom Ashes from Non-Woody Biomass Combustion for Application as Sustainable Supplementary Cementitious Material

Energies
Cement production is an energy- and resource-intensive industry accounting for approximately 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, a key decarbonisation option for the cement industry is to substitute the clinker with so-called supplementary ...

Seasonal Variations in Aerosol Trace Element Source Contributions and Deposition Fluxes to the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Trace elements deposited in the marine environment affect ocean biogeochemistry in numerous, complex ways. This study quantifies seasonal aerosol trace element (TE) fluxes and evaluates their variability and potential sources over a 2‐year period in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (NPSG). We established the Hawaii Aerosol Time Series (HATS),
