Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Effective Lignin-First Fractionation of Softwood Lignocellulose Using a Mild Dimethyl Carbonate Organosolv Process [PDF]

, 2019
Large-scale biorefineries converting lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals, fuels, and energy require a cost-effective pretreatment process that can effectively fractionate all main lignocellulose constituents.

A Quantitative Approach for Assessing and Monitoring the Social Licence of Forestry to Operate: A New Zealand Case Study

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social Licence to Operate (SLO) is an increasingly strategic concern in forestry, yet its evaluation remains largely qualitative. This study presents the first quantitative framework for assessing SLO in New Zealand's forestry sector, adapted from the Boutilier and Thomson model, originally developed for the mining sector.

Catalytic Cleavage of Lignin C–C Bonds and Subsequent Amination: A Valorization Roadmap

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
By systematically integrating the reaction pathway and mechanisms underlying lignin C–C bond cleavage and the subsequent product amination, this review aims to provide guidance for the rational design of multifunctional catalytic systems capable of coupling bond cleavage and amination reactions.

Biomass Carbon and Nitrogen Content of Softwood Broadleaves in Southwestern Serbia

HortScience, 2022
To select softwood broadleaves for biomass cropping, a study of the carbon and nitrogen content of the bark and wood of six softwood broadleaves in southwestern Serbia was conducted. Compared with white willow, european aspen, common alder, black poplar,

Thermal and physical characterization of briquettes produced from wood, charcoal fines, and plastic packaging waste

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Briquettes represent a sustainable and viable approach for the reutilization of solid urban and industrial waste. Their incorporation into wood‐based briquettes aims to generate thermal energy through combustion, enabling application in industrial thermal systems already equipped with flue‐gas emission control.
