Bioremediation and biovalorisation of olive-mill wastes [PDF]

open access: yes
Olive-mill wastes are produced by the industry of olive oil production, which is a very important economic activity, particularly for Spain, Italy and Greece, leading to a large environmental problem of current concern in the Mediterranean basin.

Impact of anaerobic digestion on organic matter quality in pig slurry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Changes in pig slurry organic matter (OM) during anaerobic digestion (AD) were studied in a reactor to characterize OM evolution through AD. OM maturity and stability were evaluated using different biological and physico-chemical methods. Germination and

Lessons learnt from revisiting decades of seagrass restoration projects in Cockburn Sound, southwestern Australia

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass loss is impacting coastal communities globally, and significant efforts are being spent to address this loss through restoration. Yet, the success of restoration projects and methodologies has rarely been assessed over decades. In this case study, we reviewed past and continuing seagrass restoration projects (66 restoration sites from 1990s to

Salt tolerance as a factor in determining suitability of northern grasses for revegetation of oil sands sites affected by tailings release water

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
We compared the effects of release water from the enhanced non‐segregating oil sands mining tailings (eNST) on the growth and physiological responses of three grass species varying in salt tolerance: a relatively salt‐sensitive Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), a moderately salt‐tolerant Alkali bluegrass (P.

Allelopathic effects of Sonchus oleraceus L. on the germination and seedling growth of crop and weed species

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2014
We assessed the allelopathic effects of the aqueous extract of Sonchus oleraceus dry shoots on the germination and seedling growth of Trifolium alexandrinum, three weed species (Brassica nigra, Chenopodium murale and Melilotus indicus) and S.

Phytoxicity study of the products of wet oxidation of a representative biomass (lettuce) [PDF]

open access: yes
In an attempt to verify the results reported previously concerning the phytotoxicity of wet-oxidation (wet-ox) products, lettuce solids were suspended in water and then heated to 548 K for 3.6 ksec (1 hr) under 4.1x10 to the -7 Pa (400 psig at 294 K ...
