Willow Biomass Crops Are a Carbon Negative or Low-Carbon Feedstock Depending on Prior Land Use and Transportation Distances to End Users

Energies, 2020
Few life cycle assessments (LCAs) on willow biomass production have investigated the effects of key geographically specific parameters. This study uses a spatial LCA model for willow biomass production to determine spatially explicit greenhouse gas (GHG)

Referral patterns and patient characteristics in pediatric feeding disorder care at a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric feeding disorders (PFDs) are increasingly prevalent in the United States. Limited research has examined referral characteristics for outpatient feeding programs. This study analyzes patient referral characteristics based on referral patterns, patient demographics, and treatment interventions. Methods A retrospective cohort

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.

Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Biomasses of different Salix L. clones in the decarboxylation process during energy production [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke
Biomass is increasingly employed in diverse applications to achieve and enhance energy efficiency, owing to its carbon-neutral nature. This is attributed to the fact that the quantity of CO2 released during its combustion corresponds precisely ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.
