Dual stable isotope abundances unravel trophic position of estuarine nematodes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The role and quantitative importance of free-living nematodes in marine and estuarine soft sediments remain enigmatic for lack of empirical evidence on the feeding habits and trophic position of most nematode species.

Rates of sustainable forest harvest depend on rotation length and weathering of soil minerals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Removals of forest biomass in the northeastern US may intensify over the coming decades due to increased demand for renewable energy. For forests to regenerate successfully following intensified harvests, the nutrients removed from the ecosystem in the ...

Ecological Insights into the Dynamics of Plant Biomass-Degrading Microbial Consortia [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2017
Plant biomass (PB) is an important resource for biofuel production. However, the frequent lack of efficiency of PB saccharification is still an industrial bottleneck. The use of enzyme cocktails produced from PB-degrading microbial consortia (PB-dmc) is a promising approach to optimize this process.

Out of the shadows: ecology of open ecosystems

open access: yesPlant Ecology & Diversity, 2021
Biomes of the world have long been assumed to be determined by climate. Major disparities, where open low biomass systems occurred in the same climate zone as closed forests have been dismissed as products of deforestation.

Living Close to Your Neighbors: The Importance of Both Competition and Facilitation in Plant Communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recent work has demonstrated that competition and facilitation likely operate jointly in plant communities, but teasing out the relative role of each has proven difficult.

Critical Analysis of Biomass Retention Strategies in Mainstream and Sidestream ANAMMOX-Mediated Nitrogen Removal Systems.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2020
ANAMMOX (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) represents an energy-efficient process for biological nitrogen removal, particularly from wastewater streams with low chemical oxygen demand (COD) to nitrogen (C/N) ratios.

Novel approach for identifying VOC emission characteristics based on mobile monitoring platform data and deep learning: Application of source apportionment in a chemical industrial park

open access: yesHeliyon
Refined volatile organic compound (VOC) emission characteristics are crucial for accurate source apportionment in chemical industrial parks. The data from mobile monitoring platforms in chemical industrial parks contain pollution information that is not ...

Digital Biomass Accumulation Using High-Throughput Plant Phenotype Data Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2017
Biomass is an important phenotypic trait in functional ecology and growth analysis. The typical methods for measuring biomass are destructive, and they require numerous individuals to be cultivated for repeated measurements.
