Optimising carbon storage by land-management [PDF]

, 2011
As the UK’s largest non-government land-owner, the National Trust is committed to reducing its impact on climate change, recognising the importance of soil organic carbon (SOC), and its need for preservation.

Incorporation of Selenium into Sol–Gel‐Derived Bioactive Glass: Influence on Glass Structure, Bioactivity, and its Selective Cytotoxicity

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Selenium was incorporated into a sol–gel‐derived bioactive glass to enable sustained therapeutic ion release. The selenium‐containing glass preserved bioactivity while selectively inducing cytotoxicity in osteosarcoma cells and maintaining osteoblastic viability.

Deadwood carbon pool and uncertainty estimates: effects of decay status and vegetation types

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Deadwood carbon pool is a crucial component of forest ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. Assessing of deadwood carbon is challenging due to variability in decay status, species and disturbances in tropical forests.

Evaluating Carbon Sink Responses to Multi-Scenario Land Use Changes in the Dianchi Lake Basin: An Integrated PLUS-InVEST Model Approach

Agriculture
Land use and land cover changes are critical drivers of terrestrial carbon stock dynamics, as they alter native vegetation and land-based production activities. Scenario-based simulation of land use and carbon stock evolution offer valuable insights into

Growing stock-based assessment of the carbon stock in the Belgian forest biomass [PDF]

Annals of Forest Science, 2005
Belgian forests covered 693 181 ha in 2000, representing 22.7% of the total land area. As no biomass or carbon stock data are included in the Flemish and Walloon regional forest inventories, species-specific wood densities, biomass expansion factors s.s. and carbon content values were critically selected from the literature.

Understanding the Stochastic Nature of Process Parameter Development of Blown Powder Laser Beam Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing of Pure Molybdenum

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Identified through the use of statistical design of experiments and metallographic investigation, this study exposes the stochastic origins of intergranular cracks in blown powder laser beam directed energy deposition additive manufacturing of pure molybdenum. It further demonstrates a successful crack mitigation approach with direct correlation to the

Carbon stock variation along environmental gradient of Wacho Forest, South-Western Ethiopia [PDF]

Computational Ecology and Software, 2022
The carbon stock of forest is disturbed by environmental variables. Therefore, the study was undertaken to examine the variation of carbon sock along environmental gradient of wacho forest, South-Western Ethiopia.

Blue carbon of Mexico, carbon stocks and fluxes: a systematic review

PeerJ, 2020
Mexico has more than 750,000 ha of mangroves and more than 400,000 ha of seagrasses. However, approximately 200,000 ha of mangroves and an unknown area of seagrass have been lost due to coastal development associated with urban, industrial and tourist purposes.

Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.
