Properties of dissolved and total organic matter in throughfall, stemflow and forest floor leachate of central European forests [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
We present the first investigation of the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) compared to total organic matter (TOM, consisting of DOM, < 0.45 μm and particulate organic matter 0.45 μm < POM < 500 μm) in throughfall, stemflow and forest floor ...

Toward Sustainable Enzyme Production From Agro‐Industrial Residues: Optimizing pH and Soyhull Particle Size in Fungal Fermentation

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
Sustainable enzyme production from soyhull fermentation. ABSTRACT Carbohydrase enzymes are critical to sustainable detergent formulations, enabling effective cleaning at lower temperatures and reduced resource use. To improve the economic and environmental viability of enzyme production, this study explored soybean hulls—a low‐value agricultural by ...

Organic matter and nitrogen dynamics in a mature forest of common beech in the Sierra de la Demanda, Spain [PDF]

Annals of Forest Science, 2001
Aboveground biomass, litterfall, leaf weight loss due to decomposition, N return and seasonal leaf N dynamics were studied in the Sierra de la Demanda, Spain, a Mediterranean climatic zone. The forest ecosystem considered was a climax beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest.

Comparative Effectiveness of Different Mulch Types and Application Rates for Reducing Runoff and Sediment Yield on Forest Skid Trails

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rehabilitation of skid trails following timber harvesting is critical for preserving forest soil integrity, particularly within ecologically sensitive ecosystems such as the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although mulching is widely recommended for erosion control, field evidence comparing different locally ...

Differential responses of herbivores and herbivory to management in temperate European beech.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Forest management not only affects biodiversity but also might alter ecosystem processes mediated by the organisms, i.e. herbivory the removal of plant biomass by plant-eating insects and other arthropod groups.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Drivers of wood‐inhabiting fungal diversity in European and Oriental beech forests

Ecology and Evolution
The hyperdiverse wood‐inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). To

Direct extraction of functional whitened lignocellulose from wood via isocyanate modification in water–ethanol mixture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Direct extraction of lignocellulose from wood derivatives was achieved by introducing a bulky isocyanate substituent to lignin in a water–ethanol mixture. This process exploits the tunable solvent affinity of lignin to achieve its whitening, enabling the isolation of lignocellulose.

Pointer years in the growth of beech trees of the NP "Đerdap" area [PDF]

Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2014
This paper defines pointer years and years with distinctive tree rings in the growth of beech in 3 sites (ecological units-EU) of the area of Đerdap, in order to observe the reactions of trees to the effects of various factors of growth.
