Abstract This study presents a novel bioeconomy optimization framework, BiOpt, designed to address critical questions regarding the strategic use of limited US biomass resources for biofuel production. By integrating detailed techno‐economic analyses, life cycle assessments, and resource assessment data, BiOpt optimizes resource distributions across ...

Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries
Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

Abstract The focus of this paper is to present an innovative approach to classify land cover, with specific emphasis on Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) monitoring. LULUCF is a sector in greenhouse gas inventory that tracks changes in greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere due to land use and land-use change.

‘Let's talk about the weather’: The activist curriculum and global climate change education
Abstract Activist movements have garnered significant global attention on a range of sustainability issues, often involving collectives of citizens coming together. Invoked is the idea of citizens informed to act, emerging not from a common‐sense understanding of everyday life, but rather from a deep political understanding of the world—one that is ...

Bridging the Gap: Student Voices on Recruitment and Retention in Ecology
Abstract Students entering ecology and environmental science face a variety of challenges, including limited awareness of career paths, lack of mentorship, and difficulties connecting with peers and faculty. These challenges are often amplified for students from marginalized backgrounds, who may also encounter microaggressions, underrepresentation, and

Assessment of land use impacts on the natural environment: Part 2: Generic characterization factors for local species diversity in Central Europe [PDF]
Goal, Scope and Background: Land use is an economic activity that generates large benefits for human society. One side effect, however, is that it has caused many environmental problems throughout history and still does today. Biodiversity, in particular,

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...
