Aquatic ecological risks due to cyanide releases from biomass burning

Chemosphere, 2003
Aquatic toxicity due to the creation and mobilization of chemical constituents by fire has been little studied, despite reports of post-fire fish kills attributed to unspecified pyrogenic toxicants. We examined releases of cyanides from biomass burning and their effect on surface runoff water.

Meta-analysis of ecological and phylogenetic biomass maturity metrics

Waste Management
Although a wide variety of biomass sources have been subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing, ecological and phylogenetic signatures of maturity have not been identified quantitatively. In this meta-analysis we reanalyzed data from the only published study with publicly available 16S and temperature data (Zhou et al., 2018), and then applied the Zhou ...

Biomass allocation in boreal plants with different ecological strategies

Russian Journal of Ecology, 2000
In the boreal zone of the Middle Urals, biomass structure was studied in 35 species of wild plants with different ecological strategies according to Grime and Ramenskii (competitors, ruderals, and stress-tolerant plants). Plants belonging to these groups proved to differ considerably in the absolute plant weight and the quantitative contributions of ...

The industrial ecology of freshwater macroalgae for biomass applications

Algal Research, 2017
Abstract Industrial ecology is focused on recognising the inherent value in waste streams and developing techniques that can efficiently recover this value. Freshwater macroalgae can become a foundation of this concept as they can be cultured in a range of waste streams where they can effectively remove excess nutrients, metals and metalloids ...

Ecology–Poverty Considerations for Developing Sustainable Biomass Energy Options

2011
An estimated 1.6 billion people worldwide, mostly in rural areas, suffer from energy poverty (World Bank 2009 ), that is, they have insuffi cient energy sources for cooking, heating, and the 101 small tasks that become big tasks when there are energy shortages.

Biomass‐Derived, Target Specific, and Ecologically Safer Insecticide Active Ingredients

ChemSusChem
AbstractWith the continuous increase in food production to support the growing population, ensuring agricultural sustainability using crop‐protecting agents, such as pesticides, is vital. Conventional pesticides pose significant environmental risks, prompting the need for eco‐friendly alternatives.

Carbon Claims and Energy Landscapes: Exploring the Political Ecology of Biomass

Landscape Research, 2010
The greatest proportion (83%) of renewable energy in the UK is derived from biomass. Despite this there has been little debate over the potential landscape impacts of biomass, and the sector is characterized by considerable levels of uncertainty. This paper explores the ways in which biomass is framed within the carbon debate, interrogating the trade ...

Potential ecological consequences of forest biomass harvesting in California

Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 2015
ABSTRACTThe expansion of forest biomass markets may affect California’s forests both positively and negatively. Existing research does not permit an exact assessment of biomass harvesting impact in each forest type, but policy decisions can still benefit from a synthesis of the available science.
