Effect of Local and Landscape Variables on Bird Communities in Forest‐Agricultural Mosaics in Northeast Luzon, Philippines

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
We assessed bird community responses to local and landscape variables of habitat amount, quality, and configuration in agricultural‐forest mosaics in Northeast Luzon, Philippines. We found varying responses across different functional groups based on diet and habitat dependency, showing that management interventions must be implemented with clear ...

POMOPLA2 : A Bio‐Based Material Solution Valorizing Tomato By‐Products for Circular Packaging Applications

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 493-503, 15 January 2025.
ABSTRACT The depletion of fossil resources, increasing packaging pollution, and stricter regulations require the development of sustainable alternative materials. This study presents POMOPLA2, a fully bio‐based composite that enhances circularity by valorizing industrial tomato peel by‐products within a plasticized polylactic acid (PLA) matrix. A novel

Integration of plant and microbial oil processing at oilcane biorefineries for more sustainable biofuel production

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2024.
A detailed biorefinery model grounded on experimental findings was developed for integrated processing of both oilcane plant and microbial oils to produce biodiesel. Rigorous techno‐economic and life cycle analyses were employed to determine the technological bottlenecks of oilcane and microbial oil production and elucidate critical targets for market ...
