Critical analysis of life cycle inventory datasets for organic crop production systems
(Springer, 2022-04-20)
Purpose
Organic agriculture (OA) has gained widespread popularity due to its view as a more sustainable method of farming. Yet OA and conventional agriculture (CA) can be found to have similar or varying ...
Recent Advances in Bioelectrochemical Systems for Nitrogen and Phosphorus Recovery Using Membranes
(MDPI, 2023-02-02)
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have emerged as a technology that is able to recover resources from different kinds of substrates, especially wastewater. Nutrient recovery, mostly based on membrane ...
LC‐IMPACT: A regionalized life cycle damage assessment method
(Wiley, 2020-05-31)
Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is a lively field of research, and data and models are continuously improved in terms of impact pathways covered, reliability, and spatial detail. However, many of ...
Assessment of social aspects across Europe resulting from the insertion of technologies for nutrient recovery and recycling in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2022-02-02)
The potential beneficial and harmful social impacts generated by the introduction of novel technologies, in general, and those concerning nutrient recovery and the improvement of nutrient efficiency in ...
Operationalising emission and toxicity modelling of pesticides in LCA: the OLCA-Pest project contribution
(Springer, 2022-04-14)
Purpose
Current field emission modelling and toxicity characterisation of pesticides suffer from several shortcomings like mismatches between LCI databases and LCIA methods, missing characterisation ...
Effect of different fertilization strategies on nitrogen balance in an outdoor potted crop of Osteospermum ecklonis (DC.) Norl. ‘Purple Red’ under Mediterranean climate conditions
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2013-07-15)
Fertilization management and meteorological conditions can affect leachate composition and the balance of nitrogen
(N) added during the cultivation of ornamentals. The main objectives of this study ...
Pathogenic Yet Environmentally Friendly? Black Fungal Candidates for Bioremediation of Pollutants
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-02-25)
A collection of 163 strains of black yeast-like fungi from the CBS Fungal Biodiversity Center (Utrecht, The
Netherlands), has been screened for the ability to grow on hexadecane, toluene and ...
Global extinction probabilities of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species groups for use in Life Cycle Assessment
(Elsevier, 2022-07-29)
Human activities put pressure on the natural environmental and the Life Cycle Assessment methodology (LCA) is becoming a more prevalent tool to assess the relevant environmental impacts from products ...
Global water consumption impacts on riverine fish species richness in Life Cycle Assessment
(Elsevier, 2022-09-13)
Reduced river discharge and flow regulation are significant threats to freshwater biodiversity. An accurate representation of potential damage of water consumption on freshwater biodiversity is required ...
Assessment of a novel microalgae-cork based technology for removing antibiotics, pesticides and nitrates from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-04-29)
Groundwater pollution has increased in recent years due to the intensification of agricultural and livestock activities. This results in a significant reduction in available freshwater resources. Here, ...
