A MAS model for optimizing the spatial aspects of livestock production and manure abatement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
As a consequence of the EU Nitrates Directive many countries have developed policies to regulate manure production and manure emission on land. Farmers have three allocation options: spreading manure on own land, transporting manure to other farmers ...

Depth‐Dependence Changes in Soil Stoichiometry in China's Croplands Over the Past Four Decades

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals depth‐dependent changes in soil C:N:P ratios across Chinese croplands over four decades. Changes in stoichiometry vary markedly between topsoil and subsoil, with initial soil C:N:P ratios playing a key role in determining their trajectories.

Anaerobic Digestion of Dairy Effluent in New Zealand, Time to Revisit the Idea?

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
The anaerobic digestion of New Zealand low-input dairy farms has previously been evaluated for energy production, but farming systems have recently become more intensive with increased feed supplementation and feed replacement; therefore, we are studying

The impact of concentrated pig production in Flanders : a spatial analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Historically concentrated livestock production and, consequently, manure production and management in Belgium have resulted in severe environmental impacts.

The Effect of Manure from Cattle Fed Barley- vs. Corn-Based Diets on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Depends on Soil Type

open access: yesSoil Systems, 2022
Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cattle production have led to modifications of livestock diet composition aimed at reducing CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation. These diet modifications can result in varied manure types that may

Graphitized Biochar Derived from Agricultural Wastes Enhances Methanogenesis via Conductivity‐Driven Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work clarifies how feedstocks and their structural features promote methanogenesis, and identifies the key regulatory factors, reducing pollution to the global environment, and also helps to alleviate the energy crisis. This is the first study to systematically link feedstock lignin content, pyrolysis conditions, biochar graphitization, and DIET ...

Computational Study of Ignored Pericyclic Reactions: Rearrangements of 1,2‐Bis(Diazo)Alkanes to 1,2,3,4‐Tetrazines and Subsequent Fragmentations

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
DFT calculations of the 8π‐electrocyclization of 1,2‐bis(diazo)alkanes and of other bis‐1,3‐dipoles reveal that this process can establish a so far ignored route to heterocycles such as 1,2,3,4‐tetrazines. Alternative reaction channels via carbenes or nitrenes leading to fragmentation products are discussed.

Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on the Yield and Quality of Jalapeño Pepper Fruit (Capsicum annuum L.)

open access: yesAgriculture, 2019
Organic fertilizers were evaluated on jalapeno pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and on their effect on the soil content of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), electrical conductivity (EC), pH and organic matter (OM), at the Experimental Station of the Agriculture ...
