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.

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.

Time-Series Characterization of Grassland Biomass Intensity to Examine Management Change at Two Sites in Germany Using 25 Years of Remote Sensing Imagery

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
In cultivated landscapes, grasslands are an important land use type for insect life. Grassland management practices can have a significant impact on insect ecology.

Analysis of trophic networks: an optimisation approach [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
We introduce a methodology to study the possible matter flows of an ecosystem defined by observational biomass data and realistic biological constraints. The flows belong to a polyhedron in a multi dimensional space making statistical exploration difficult in practice; instead, we propose to solve a convex optimization problem.

A general parameterized mathematical food web model that predicts a stable green world in the terrestrial ecosystem [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Monographs 2016, Vol 86, Issue 2, 190-204, 2014
Terrestrial ecosystems are generally green and only a small part (<10%) of the plant matter is consumed by herbivores annually,but the reason has been unclear due to the lack of food web models for predicting the absolute herbivore biomass in physical units. Here, I present a simple parameterized mathematical food web model that can predict the biomass

Effect of water temperature and fish biomass on environmental DNA shedding, degradation, and size distribution

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has successfully detected organisms in various aquatic environments. However, there is little basic information on eDNA, including the eDNA shedding and degradation processes.

Current Status of the Pyrolysis and Gasification Mechanism of Biomass

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The development of the world economy goes hand in hand with increased energy consumption and global warming caused by greenhouse gases. These issues can be tackled by implementing promising technologies of power generation.

Resource and non-resource root competition among trees of different successional status [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
1. This study assessed the effects of resource (i.e. nutrients) and non-resource (i.e. interference for space) competition from fine roots of competing grasses on the growth, morphology and architecture of fine roots of four tree species of varying ...

The Influence of Land Consolidation on Biomass and Ecological Environment

open access: yesResearch Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology, 2014
Land consolidation changes the land use types and then the biomass. The measure and calculation of biomass fore-and-aft land consolidation worked out by the sample plot method in terms of arbor, shrub, herbage plants and crop. The result shows that the biomass is increased 580 t after land consolidation, meaning the impression of land consolidation is ...
