The ecology of fear and inverted biomass pyramids
Oikos, 2020In inverted biomass pyramids (IBPs) prey are outnumbered by their predators when measured by biomass. We investigate how prey should behave in the face of danger from higher predator biomass, and how anti‐predator behavior (in the form of vigilance) can, in turn, affect the predator–prey system.

The industrial ecology of freshwater macroalgae for biomass applications
Algal Research, 2017Abstract 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 ...

Soil Ecology and Factors Affecting Biomass
, 2009 Effluents containing pharmaceuticals and hormones from CAFOs are of concern because they are directly applied to the soil without any pre-treatment. To evaluate the potential affect of these compounds, an understanding of soil ecology is required. Soil ecology is a daunting topic as there is so much soil mass and diversity in the world.

Beta diversity as a driver of forest biomass across spatial scales.
Ecology, 2022Despite the importance of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships in ecology and conservation, relatively little is known about how BEF relationships change across spatial scales.

On biomass diversity in ecology
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1983We postulate that the biomass distribution function for an ecological population may be derived from the condition that the biomas diversity functional is maximal subject to an energetic constraint on the total biomass. This leads to a biomass distribution of the form $$p(m ...

Promoting Ecological Sustainability in Woody Biomass Harvesting [PDF]
Journal of Forestry, 2010 Abstract Enthusiasm for the use of forest biomass as an energy resource is growing as a result of increased energy costs and a desire to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. Although the opportunity exists for forests to have a significant role in the development and use of bioenergy technologies ...

Thermodynamic approach to biomass distribution in ecological systems
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1983In the derivation of the biomass distribution function for an ecological population critical use is made of an energetic constraint on the maximization of biomass diversity. The nature of this constraint is explored in detail using Kleiber's relation σ(m) = cmγ between animal metabolic rate σ(m) and body weight m in conjunction with the Prigogine-Wiame

Control for Ecological Improvement of Small Biomass Boilers
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009Abstract The aim of this paper is to present various types of research on reducing emissions in the flue gases produced by low-power biomass boilers, especially when the boilers operate outside their nominal operating regime. This long-term investigation program is being carried out on a pilot boiler in the university laboratories.
