(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 ...
Influence of chemical composition on biochemical methane potential of fruit and vegetable waste
(Elsevier, 2017-05-26)
This study investigates the influence of chemical composition on the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of twelve different batches of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) with different compositions collected ...
Agent-Based Life Cycle Assessment enables joint economic-environmental analysis of policy to support agricultural biomass for biofuels
(Elsevier, 2024-01-20)
Production of agricultural biofuels is expected to rise due to increasing climate change mitigation ambitions. Policy interventions promoting targeted bioenergy solutions can be motivated by the large ...
Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporation of Ammonia from Pig Slurry at Laboratory and Pilot-Plant Scale
(MDPI, 2023-10-03)

Mediterranean springs: Keystone ecosystems and biodiversity refugia threatened by global change
(Wiley, 2023-11-08)
Mediterranean spring ecosystems are unique habitats at the interface between surface water and groundwater. These ecosystems support a remarkable array of biodiversity and provide important ecological ...
Environmental life cycle assessment of producing willow, alfalfa and straw from spring barley as feedstocks for bioenergy or biorefinery systems
(Elsevier, 2016-10-17)
The aim of this study is to assess the potential environmental impacts of producing maize, grass-clover, ryegrass, and straw from winter wheat as biomass feedstocks for biorefinery. The Life Cycle ...
Quan les fonts s’assequen. Situació dramàtica de les fonts de la Serralada Litoral davant la crisi climàtica
(Institució Catalana d'Història Natural. Delegació de la Serralada Litoral Central ; Ajuntament de Mataró. Direcció de Cultura, 2023)
Deu anys després de l’inici del Projecte Fonts s’han visitat 31 fonts de la Serralada Litoral ja estudiades fa una dècada per tal de comparar els seus cabals antics amb els actuals. A totes les 31 fonts ...
Assessing Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Livestock Manure Storage: Comparison of Measurements with Dynamic and Static Chambers
(MDPI, 2023-11-15)
Emission quantification from the agricultural sector, and especially from livestock manure management, is relevant for assessing mitigation strategies and for inventory purposes. There are different ...
