Mobilizing mine lands for biobased decarbonization strategies
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.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 ...

Delivered cost of switchgrass pellets transported from depots to a biorefinery in the Piedmont, USA
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.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 cost‐effective 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 ...

Temporally variable dispersal and demography can accelerate the spread of invading species [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 We analyze how temporal variability in local demography and dispersal combine to affect the rate of spread of an invading species. Our model combines state-structured local demography (specified by an integral or matrix projection model) with general dispersal distributions that may depend on the state of the individual or its parent, and it allows ...

Usefulness of ERTS-1 satellite imagery as a data-gathering tool by resource managers in the Bureau of Land Management [PDF]
ERTS-1 satellite imagery can be an effective data-gathering tool for resource managers. Techniques are developed which allow managers to visually analyze simulated color infrared composite images to map perennial and ephemeral (annual) plant communities.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, much research has focused on the valorization of Crocus sativus by‐products as sources of bioactive compounds. This study was designed to investigate the impact of two different drying methods, freeze‐drying and air‐drying, on the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaves and tepals by‐products from C.

Invaders break assembly rules to beat the natives: how cheatgrass cheats [PDF]
NeoBiotaUnderstanding how some introduced plants achieve invasive status while most simply become naturalized is a fundamental question in invasion ecology. Traditional approaches comparing native and introduced plants have linked ruderal traits such as annual ...
