Uncertainty in inventories for life cycle assessment: State‐of‐the‐art, challenges, and new technologies

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Uncertainty is a critical factor that can hinder the quality and potential applications of life cycle assessment (LCA) results. A prominent source of uncertainty stems from the life cycle inventory (LCI) data. Various methodologies exist to estimate the uncertainty associated with LCI data, primarily based on the widely used structured ...

Land use driven change in soil pH affects microbial carbon cycling processes

Nature Communications, 2018
Land use intensification could modify microbial activity and thus ecosystem function. Here, Malik et al. sample microbes and carbon-related functions across a land use gradient, demonstrating that microbial biomass and carbon use efficiency are reduced ...

Potential of Biochar to Alternate Soil Properties and Crop Yields 3 and 4 Years after the Application

Agronomy, 2020
Several studies have reported that biochar can improve soil properties which are linked with higher crop yields and this effect is long-term. This paper aimed to study the effects of biochar (0, 10 and 20 t ha−1) and its combinations with N-fertilization

Surface Energy Flux Estimation in Two Boreal Settings in Alaska Using a Thermal-Based Remote Sensing Model

Remote Sensing, 2020
Recent Arctic warming has led to changes in the hydrological cycle. Circum-Arctic and circumboreal ecosystems are showing evidence of “greening” and “browning” due to temperature warming leading to shrub encroachment, tree mortality and deciduousness ...

Spatial distribution of land type in regression models of pollutant loading [PDF]

, 2005
This paper proposes a method to improve landscape-pollution interaction regression models through the inclusion of a variable that describes the spatial distribution of a land type with respect to the pattern of runoff within a drainage catchment.
