Feedstock Choice, Pyrolysis Temperature and Type Influence Biochar Characteristics: a Comprehensive Meta-Data Analysis Review
(Springer, 2020-12)
Various studies have established that feedstock choice, pyrolysis temperature, and pyrolysis type influence final biochar physicochemical characteristics. However, overarching analyses of pre-biochar creation choices and ...
Nitrogen Assimilation in the Highly Salt- and Boron-Tolerant Ecotype Zea mays L. Amylacea
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)
The Lluta Valley in Northern Chile is an important agricultural area affected by both salinity and boron (B) toxicity. <i>Zea mays</i> L. amylacea, an ecotype arisen because of the seed selection practiced in this valley, ...
Biochar reduces the efficiency of nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) mitigating N2O emissions
(Nature Publishing, 2019-02-20)
Among strategies suggested to decrease agricultural soil N2O losses, the use of nitrification inhibitors such as DMPP (3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) has been proposed. However, the efficiency of DMPP might be affected ...
Identifying Green Infrastructure as a Basis for an Incentive Mechanism at the Municipality Level in Biscay (Basque Country)
(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
The contributions of green infrastructure (GI) to human well-being have been widely recognised; however, pathways for its systematic implementation are missing. Local governments can play a crucial role in the conservation ...
Unraveling the Effect of Singlet Oxygen on Metal-O2 Batteries: Strategies Toward Deactivation
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-22)
Aprotic metal-O(2)batteries have attracted the interest of the research community due to their high theoretical energy density that target them as potential energy storage systems for automotive applications. At present, ...
Inhomogeneity detection in phytoplankton time series using multivariate analyses
(Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 2020-09)
Phytoplankton communities have long been used as water quality indicators within environmental policies. This has fostered the development of national and international phytoplankton monitoring programs, but these networks ...
A common fungicide impairs stream ecosystem functioning through effects on aquatic hyphomycetes and detritivorous caddisflies
(Academic Press-Elsevier, 2020-06-01)
Fungicides can reach streams through runoff or adhered to leaf litter, and have the potential to adversely affect processes such as litter decomposition and associated communities. This study investigated the effects of ...
Key Elements of the White-Backed Woodpecker’s (Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi) Habitat in Its European South-Western Limits
(MDPI, 2020-07-30)
In the last decade, the population of the white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi) (WBW) in Navarre has been reduced mainly due to the loss of suitable habitat for this species from intensive forest management, ...
Leaf Traits Drive Plant Diversity Effects On Litter Decomposition And FPOM Production In Streams
(Public Library Science, 2018-05-29)
Biodiversity loss in riparian forests has the potential to alter rates of leaf litter decomposition in stream ecosystems. However, studies have reported the full range of positive, negative and no effects of plant diversity ...
Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude
(Nature Publishing, 2017-09-05)
Plant litter represents a major basal resource in streams, where its decomposition is partly regulated by litter traits. Litter-trait variation may determine the latitudinal gradient in decomposition in streams, which is ...
