Solar drying in the vineyard: a sustainable technology for the recovery of nutrients from winery organic waste
(IWA Publishing, 2020-07-09)
The present study describes a pilot-scale experimental validation of a forced-convection greenhouse solar dryer, combined with a biofilter, for controlled atmospheric emissions. This set-up was applied ...
Effects of water pollution and river fragmentation on population genetic structure of invasive mosquitofish
(Elsevier, 2018-05-22)
We analyzed variation at the GPI-2 locus and eleven microsatellite loci of eastern mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki populations introduced to the Ebro River (Spain), sampling above and below a dam (Flix ...
Extreme hydrological events and the influence of reservoirs in a highly regulated river basin of northeastern Spain
(Elsevier, 2017-04-13)
Study region: The Segre basin (northeastern Spain).
Study focus: The Segre basin is extensively regulated, through a dense network of dams, during the second half of the 20th century. This study assessed ...
Environmental accounting of closed-loop maize production scenarios: Manure as fertilizer and inclusion of catch crops
(Elsevier, 2019-04-09)
The agri-food sector has moved towards a more linear production economy, partly caused by worldwide food demand. One clear example is the intensification of livestock production, with consequent ...
Bioaugmentation of Native Fungi, an Efficient Strategy for the Bioremediation of an Aged Industrially Polluted Soil With Heavy Hydrocarbons
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-31)
The concurrence of structurally complex petroleum-associated contaminants at relatively high concentrations, with diverse climatic conditions and textural soil characteristics, hinders conventional ...
Freshwater ecotoxicity assessment of pesticide use in crop production: Testing the influence of modeling choices
(Elsevier, 2018-10-28)
Pesticides help to control weeds, pests, and diseases contributing, therefore, to food availability. However, pesticide fractions not reaching the intended target may have adverse effects on the environment ...
Towards a standardization of biomethane potential tests
(IWA Publishing, 2016-09-19)
Production of biogas from different organic materials is a most interesting source of renewable energy.
The biomethane potential (BMP) of these materials has to be determined to get insight in ...
A high-resolution life cycle impact assessment model for continental freshwater habitat change due to water consumption
(Elsevier, 2021-03-22)
Global value chains and climate change have a significant impact on water resources and increasingly threaten freshwater ecosystems. Recent methodological proposals for life cycle impact assessment ...
Combined Acidification and Solar Drying of Pig Slurries for Nutrient Recovery and Controlled Atmospheric Emissions
(MDPI, 2021-01-25)
The solar drying of pig slurries was tested in a pilot-scale greenhouse (10 m2 footprint), operated with forced ventilation under low and high solar irradiation in Mediterranean conditions. Gaseous ...
The importance of including soil carbon changes, ecotoxicity and biodiversity impacts in environmental life cycle assessments of organic and conventional milk in Western Europe
(Elsevier, 2019-01-04)
Estimates of soil carbon changes, biodiversity and ecotoxicity have often been missing from life cycle assessment based studies of organic dairy products, despite evidence that the impacts of organic ...
