Invasion and control of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in China [PDF]
By the time of primary 21st century, water hyacinth had become a serious environmental problem in China. Water hyacinth contributes to the major part of ecological hazards from the invasion of foreign plant species, which is estimated about USD 7 billion a year in values. In the past 10 years, herbicides glyphosate, 2,4-D and paraquat have been used in

Pyrolysis Characteristics of Fast‐Growing Grasses and the Evolution Behavior of Produced Gases
Pyrolysis and Analysis of Fast‐Growing Grasses. ABSTRACT Fast‐growing grass is a sustainable biomass resource because of its low cost and high production. Pyrolysis can convert biomass into sustainable chemicals and fuels. Therefore, the pyrolysis characteristics and the evolution of small molecular gases were studied using TG–FTIR–MS to investigate ...

This study examines ethanol (EET), hexane (EHX), and dichloromethane (EDM) extracts of C. sativa L. as eco‐friendly corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 M HCl. At 0.8 g/L, inhibition efficiencies of 90 %, 88 %, and 81 % are observed. Adsorption follows the Langmuir isotherm, supported by DFT, Monte Carlo, and molecular dynamics simulations ...

Do tissue carbon and nitrogen limit population growth of weevils introduced to control waterhyacinth at a site in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California? [PDF]
Waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes(Mart.) Solms), is a serious problem in the Sacramento Delta. Two weevil species (Neochetina bruchi Hustache and N. eichhorniae Warner) have been introduced as biological control agents. The purpose of this study was

Lake‐related ecosystem services facing social–ecological risks
Abstract Lakes are closely linked to human communities and offer a variety array of ecosystem services. In the context of climate change, increased human activities have disturbed the supply–demand balance of key ecosystem services in lakes, making them increasingly vulnerable to social–ecological risks.
