Above Carbon Stoks Potential in Universitas Negeri Semarang

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
The rapid development of campus physical facilities has caused a decrease in green open space at the Universitas Negeri Semarang Unnes. Vegetation plays a role in absorbing and storing CO2, so that reduced green open space can reduce carbon stocks and ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Decadal effects of fuel treatments and annual grass invasion on sagebrush ecosystem carbon stocks

Ecosphere
Fuel treatments are implemented across large spatial scales in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems of the US Intermountain West to limit wildfire risk and spread, but treatment effects on ecosystem carbon storage remain poorly understood.

Estimation of carbon stocks of mangrove forests along the Carigara Bay in Leyte, Philippines

Annals of Tropical Research
Mangrove forest ecosystems are known to sequester large quantities of carbon, becoming a significant carbon source when disturbed. This paper presents a quantification in aboveground (standing trees, palm, shrub, standing dead trees, downed wood and ...

CARBON STOCKS AND STOCK CHANGES IN AGROFORESTRY PRACTICES: A REVIEW

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2017
<p>Trees on farmlands and agricultural lands play a crucial role in small holder farmers’ livelihoods in addition to carbon regulation through carbon sequestration. These trees have received much attention recently due to their contribution to climate change mitigation through carbon storage.

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

Leucaena leucocephala plantations can increase soil organic carbon storage by increasing labile fractions without reducing stability in dry-hot valley savannas

Ecological Processes
Background Soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks increase under nitrogen-fixing plantations. However, the mechanisms underlying this increase in SOC stocks and the stability in savannas converted to Leucaena leucocephala plantations remain unknown. This study

Detection of differences in soil carbon and nitrogen stocks between paired dairy and drystock pastures [PDF]

, 2014
Soil is the largest terrestrial store of carbon (C) with some 2000 Pg to a depth of 1 m compared to 500 Pg in the atmosphere. Maximizing storage of C in soil is not only important for reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations but also for maintaining soil ...

IGF2 knockout reduces but does not abolish osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To test whether endogenous IGF2 promotes osteosarcoma growth, IGF2 was knocked out in Saos2 cells via CRISPR‐Cas9. KO cells showed reduced proliferation in vitro, and knockout xenografts in mice reached only ~25% of wild‐type tumor volume. Insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is implicated in osteosarcoma, but direct functional evidence of its role is ...
