Effects of Wildland Fuel Composition on Fire Intensity
Fire, 2023 Assessing the characteristics of fuel flammability during fire is of major significance regarding fire intensity and fire spread control. Under the background of shifting forest composition from heliophytic to mesophytic species in mixed-oak forests, our

State of the Art of Fuel Cells for Ship Applications [PDF]
, 2012 Fuel cells promise to be far more efficient, produce lower or zero emissions, and operate cleaner than conventional internal-combustion engine and gas turbine. They are already used for transportation application (buses, cars and tramways).

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 California’s cap-and-trade compliance offset market incentivizes forest managers to maintain elevated carbon stocks. It provides these incentives without enforcing standardized fire mitigation practices despite many projects being located in fire prone ...

Plant functional type and peat properties determine elemental transfer in boreal mire vegetation
HeliyonUptake of elements into plants is an integral part of many environmental impact assessments. Typically, the plant uptake is determined using an empirical soil-to-plant transfer factor (CR). The elemental concentrations in plants are expected to vary with

Forests fuel fish growth in freshwater deltas [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 Aquatic ecosystems are fuelled by biogeochemical inputs from surrounding lands and within-lake primary production. Disturbances that change these inputs may affect how aquatic ecosystems function and deliver services vital to humans. Here we test, using a forest cover gradient across eight separate catchments, whether disturbances that remove ...

The volume and composition of dead wood on traditional and forest fuel harvested clear-cuts
Silva Fennica, 2010 Logging residue and cut stumps are increasingly used as a renewable energy source known as forest fuel. Forest fuel harvesting obviously reduces the volume of dead wood and is likely to alter the dead wood composition, but the magnitude of the change ...
