Mobilizing mine lands for biobased decarbonization strategies
Abstract Over 163 000 ha of mine lands in Pennsylvania (PA) have the potential to produce willow as a feedstock for renewable energy generation. Each year these lands could produce between 454 000 and 907 000 dry Mg of willow, which can be a feedstock for bioenergy (i.e., biopower) with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) or sustainable aviation ...

A model of nitrous oxide evolution from soil driven by rainfall events: 2. Model applications [PDF]
Simulations of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soils were carried out with a rain-event model of nitrogen and carbon cycling processes in soils (Li et al., this issue).

Delivered cost of switchgrass pellets transported from depots to a biorefinery in the Piedmont, USA
Abstract The southeast region of the USA has the potential to be a significant producer of biobased products; however, research is needed to demonstrate the most costâeffective feedstock delivery system. This study considers a distributed network of five pellet depots to supply feedstock (i.e., switchgrass pellets) for the operation of a hypothetical ...

Does Low-Density Grazing Affect Butterfly (Lepidoptera) Colonization of a Previously Flooded Tallgrass Prairie Reconstruction? [PDF]
Conservation of wildlife in managed landscapes can be facilitated by partnering with livestock producers to introduce grazing disturbances. The effects of grazing in grassland systems, however, are often a function of other disturbances that may occur ...

Estimating offsets for avian displacement effects of anthropogenic impacts [PDF]
Biodiversity offsetting, or compensatory mitigation, is increasingly being used in temperate grassland ecosystems to compensate for unavoidable environmental damage from anthropogenic developments such as transportation infrastructure, urbanization, and ...
