Distribution, biomass and ecology of meso-zooplankton in the Northern Adriatic Sea
Chemistry and Ecology, 2002Two oceanographic cruises were carried out in the northern Adriatic Sea, from June, 1996 to February, 1997. Samples were collected using a BIONESS electronic multinet (204 samples on 54 stations) along inshore-offshore sections. Zooplankton abundance and biomass were estimated in relation to the variability of temperature, salinity and fluorescence ...

Potential ecological consequences of forest biomass harvesting in California
Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 2015ABSTRACTThe 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.

Assessing the ecological impacts of biomass harvesting along a disturbance severity gradient
Ecological Applications, 2019AbstractDisturbance is a central driver of forest development and ecosystem processes with variable effects within and across ecosystems. Despite the high levels of variation in disturbance severity often observed in forests following natural and anthropogenic disturbance, studies quantifying disturbance impacts often rely on categorical ...

Aquatic ecological risks due to cyanide releases from biomass burning
Chemosphere, 2003Aquatic 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.

Advanced control with economic - ecological optimization for biomass-fired boilers
Proceedings of the 2014 15th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC), 2014This paper presents work progress of advanced control development achieved on a prototype 100kW biomass-fired boiler. The aim of the research was to develop a complex control system, which provides both the basic boiler heating performance control based on the actual consumption and the optimization of operating conditions using advanced control ...

Ecology–Poverty Considerations for Developing Sustainable Biomass Energy Options
2011An 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
ChemSusChemAbstractWith 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.

Ecological optimization of biomass and lipid production by microalgae
2012Microalgae have higher growth rates and higher lipid content than terrestrial plants and the yield per unit area is even higher by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the production of microalgae does not compete for fertile land for food production.
