Short-Term Impacts on Soil Biological Properties After Amendment with Biochar from Residual Forestry Biomass

Agriculture
The increasing challenges posed by climate change demand efficient strategies to mitigate soil degradation. Valorization of low-grade residual forestry biomass (acacia) into biochar could be used as a soil amendment strategy.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Quantifying carbon allocation to mycorrhizal fungi by temperate forest tree species across a nitrogen availability gradient [PDF]

, 2013
Terrestrial ecosystems make up the largest carbon pool with a major portion of that being forests. With carbon being a major concern due to global climate change, being able to make accurate models is increasingly important. Studies have shown that trees

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Analysis of the economic viability and environmental impacts of a conceptual process model for the recovery of lactic acid from spent media in cultivated meat production

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Scaled production of cultivated meat (CM) will co‐produce large volumes of spent media. Recycling of abundant metabolites such as lactic acid in spent media offers an opportunity for valorization and reduction of the carbon footprint of CM production; however, the feasibility has yet to be examined.

Development of a co‐culture of Ureibacillus thermosphaericus and Cupriavidus taiwanensis for inhibitors removal from hemicellulose prehydrolysate

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
For biofuels production, hemicellulose pre‐hydrolysate is considered as an attractive feedstock rich in fermentable sugars. The pre‐hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprises, along with sugars, several inhibitors which can hamper its efficient conversion.

Characteristics of soil organic carbon fractions in four vegetation communities of an inland salt marsh

Carbon Balance and Management
Background The study of soil organic carbon characteristics and its relationship with soil environment and vegetation types is of great significance to the evaluation of soil carbon sink provided by inland salt marshes.

Earthworm populations in conventional/organic arable-based systems and their contribution to soil fertility OF0117T [PDF]

, 1995
The project aimed to characterise earthworm population dynamics and behaviour under rotational cropping, comparing organic and conventional systems. Benefits arising from earthworm activity in terms of soil fertility were also assessed.

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.
