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

Scaling-up vaccine production: implementation aspects of a biomass growth observer and controller [PDF]
This study considers two aspects of the implementation of a biomass growth observer and specific growth rate controller in scale-up from small- to pilot-scale bioreactors towards a feasible bulk production process for whole-cell vaccine against whooping ...

Forest disturbance and recovery: A general review in the context of spaceborne remote sensing of impacts on aboveground biomass and canopy structure [PDF]
Abrupt forest disturbances generating gaps \u3e0.001 km2 impact roughly 0.4–0.7 million km2a−1. Fire, windstorms, logging, and shifting cultivation are dominant disturbances; minor contributors are land conversion, flooding, landslides, and avalanches ...

Trophic status and phytoplankton in Lake Bidighinzu [PDF]
From March 1988 to April 1989 a survey was carried out on the phytoplankton of Lake Bidighinzu, a hypertrophic reservoir in Northern Sardinia. The purpose of this work was to assess the general limnological conditions of the reservoir after a diversion ...

Impacts of Fire on Forest Biomass Dynamics at the Southern Amazon Edge
Summary Over recent decades, biomass gains in remaining old-growth Amazonia forests have declined due to environmental change. Amazonia’s huge size and complexity makes understanding these changes, drivers, and consequences very challenging.

Modelling dry biomass dynamics in the Cerrado Biome
The volume of dry biomass is a key predictor of fire propagation in the Cerrado biome. Traditionally, biomass dynamics is measured directly onsite through field experiment. However, onsite measurements are constrained by costly logistics needed to cover

Stochastic coupling of rainfall and biomass dynamics [PDF]
A modeling scheme is presented to derive the probabilistic structure of plant biomass when subjected to stochastic precipitation conditions. Using the fact that soil moisture varies on a much shorter scale than plant biomass, analytical expressions are derived for the steady state probability distribution of the average plant biomass over a period T ...

Satellite remote sensing reveals a positive impact of living oyster reefs on microalgal biofilm development [PDF]
Satellite remote sensing (RS) is routinely used for the large-scale monitoring of microphytobenthos (MPB) biomass in intertidal mudflats and has greatly improved our knowledge of MPB spatio-temporal variability and its potential drivers.
