Franco) on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range in Washington state. Live aboveground biomass, projected leaf area, and aboveground net primary production for the mixed conifer forest were 194 Mg•ha−1, 4.2 m−2•m−2, and 6.1 Mg•ha−1•year−1, respectively.

Abstract:
Multifunctional catalysts have received considerable attention in the cascade reactions of biomass processing. A cascade (or tandem) reaction is realized when multiple reaction steps that require different catalysts are performed in a one-step process. These reactions require bi- or multifunctional catalysts or catalyst mixtures to serve successfully at each reaction step. In this review article, we discuss the major factors of the catalyst design influencing the structure–property relationships, which could differ depending on the catalyst type. The major factors include the amounts and stren

Abstract:
It has been suggested that the energy-efficient production of microalgae biomass can be more easily obtained in short light path photobioreactors that can be operated at high biomass concentration. On the downside, however, high biomass concentrations also require an efficient gas exchange rate to avoid metabolic growth limitation or inhibition. A cascade photobioreactor featuring a thin liquid layer flowing down a sloping, wavy-bottomed surface can be operated at a biomass concentration that is much higher compared to most usual open-type equipment.

The trophic cascade hypothesis holds that an increase in fish biomass causes a decline in food organisms of the fish, which cascades down to regulate lower trophic levels by altered consumptive demands.

All ponds were fertilized with 500 kg chicken manure∙ha−1∙wk−1. We measured phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorophyll a, primary productivity, zooplankton abundance, and fish yield in all ponds.

Trophic cascades occur in many ecosystems, but the factors regulating them are still elusive. We suggest that an overlooked factor is that trophic interactions (TIs) are often scale-dependent and possibly interact across spatial scales. To explore the role of spatial scale for trophic cascades, and particularly the occurrence of cross-scale interactions (CSIs), we collected and analysed food-web data from 139 stations across 32 bays in the Baltic Sea. We found evidence of a four-level trophic cascade linking TIs across two spatial scales: at bay scale, piscivores (perch and pike) controlled me

Abstract:
The phytoplankton assemblages from eight reservoirs of the Paranapanema River were studied during two consecutive years. Chlorophyceae and Bacillaryophyceae dominated in richness. The observed high number of taxa, 234, reflects the extensive sampling programme and evidences the necessity of considering the whole hydrograph basin to assess the biodiversity status of inland water ecosystems. The dams had a negative effect on phytoplankton richness, with higher number of taxa associate to riverine (non-regulated) stretches. The tributary rivers also exhibited high species richness, showing the im

The Brönsted acid-catalyzed cascade synthesis of densely substituted benzofurans from easily available salicyl alcohols and biomass-derived furans has been developed. The disclosed sequence includes the intermediate formation of 2-(2-hydroxybenzyl)furans that quickly rearrange into functionalized benzofurans. The established protocol was applied for the total synthesis of sugikurojinol B.

Abstract:
Sedimentation is a pervasive cause of biological impairment in streams, and predation exerts strong control over lower trophic levels. However, studies combining these two factors are lacking. In a factorial experiment in flow-through channels, addition of sand (<0.5 mm) and predatory stoneflies (Perlidae) caused independent effects on benthic invertebrates, algal biomass, and leaf breakdown. Sand reduced invertebrate density by 55% and also reduced leaf breakdown and algal biomass. Predators reduced invertebrate densities by 40%, with the strongest impact on algal-feeding invertebrates.

The present research investigated the effect of organosolv pretreatment on two species of salt-tolerant Salicornia spp. biomass, Salicornia dolichostachya and Salicornia ramosissima, for increasing biomethane production through anaerobic digestion. The final biomethane yield of de-juiced green fibers of Salicornia spp. from wet fractionation increased by 23–28% after organosolv treatment. The highest methane yield of about 300 mL-CH4/gVS was found after organosolv treatment with 60%v/v ethanol solution at 200 °C for 30 min, or at 180 °C for 30 or 60 min treatment time.

Microalgal biomass represents a very interesting biological feedstock to be converted into several high-value products in a biorefinery approach. In this study, the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp.

In particular, the protein extract showed a selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells, whereas carotenoids were found to be active as antioxidants both in vitro and on a cell-based model. Finally, for the first time, lipids were recovered from Synechocystis biomass as the last c

In this paper, we consider the stiff systems of ordinary differential equations arising from chemistry kinetics. We develop the fractional order model for chemistry kinetics problems by using the Caputo Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu derivatives in Caputo sense. We apply the Sumudu transform to obtain the solutions of the models. Uniqueness and stability analysis ofthe problem are also established by using the fixed point theory results. Numerical results are obtained by using the proposed schemes which supports theoretical results. These concepts are very important for using the real-life prob

The development of a Spirulina-based High Rate Oxidation Pond was undertaken and both substantial remediation and odour reduction were achieved. Accumulating alkalinity associated with algal growth in the pond cascade was successfully used to reduce the ammonia toxicity effects on Spirulina productivity. Evaluation of the feed value of harvested biomass was undertaken in Artemia salina, chickens, abalone and rainbow trout.

Marine microalgae from the genus Nannochloropsis are promising candidates for the photoautotrophic production of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5), a polyunsaturated fatty acid known for its numerous health benefits. A recent study demonstrated that Microchloropsis salina can accumulate high amounts of EPA when cultivated in flat-plate gas-lift photobioreactors.

Abstract:
We review 75 studies on the competition for biomass and production resources such as land, water, labour and capital across food, feed and fuel production. We identified seven factors that are key to the availability and effective use of biomass and production resources. These ranged from ones related to production, such as crop yields to ones related to policy. Many of these factors resulted in trade-offs across different uses of biomass. Studies had different perspectives (e.g. economic, biophysical) on setting priorities for biomass and suggested different solutions to address competition (
