Abstract Sustainable batteries necessitate high-performance hard carbon negative electrodes derived from abundant biomass. However, realizing their full potential is significantly limited by the inherent diversity of bio...

Paleosols formed by the burial of topsoil during landscape evolution can sequester substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) over millennia due to protection from surface disturbances. We investigated the moisture...

The objective was to evaluate the effect of electrolyte balance in diets with reduced protein for semi-weighted Bovans Goldline laying hens in the second production cycle. The design was completely randomized with five t...

Abstract Sodium carbonate-activated slag mortar (SCASM) exhibits the advantages of low shrinkage, high strength in late age, and low-cost and carbon emissions. However, its microstructure is relatively porous due to the ...

The global shift towards sustainable bioenergy demands not only improved biomass upgrading methods but also credible validation of their techno-economic and environmental feasibility at an industrial scale. Torrefaction ...

The paper describes the use of porous carbon material (PCM), obtained from plant raw materials as anode of lithium power source (LPS). It is established that the electrochemical parameters of LPS at current density of C/...

The aim of this study is to determine the impact potential of land use on biotic production and climate regulation in the agricultural phase of a product, taking into account the varied soil and crop management. Land occ...

Peatlands are significant global methane (CH4) sources, but processes governing CH4 dynamics have been predominantly studied on the northern hemisphere. Southern hemispheric and tropical bogs can be dominated by cushion ...

This study examines the carbon footprints (CFs) of Spanish household food consumption in 2022, based on survey-based data. The results are assessed considering differences in food consumption patterns across socioeconomi...

Reducing embodied carbon in the built environment requires reliable methods to assess structural materials, particularly steel, one of the most carbon-intensive. While environmental product declarations (EPDs) provide st...

O desmatamento na Amazônia procede a um alto ritmo por várias razões, muitas das quais dependem de decisões do governo. O desmatamento leva à perda de serviços ambientais, que têm um valor maior que os usos pouco ...

Abstract Methane hydrate dissociation along continental margins has been widely associated with global carbon cycle perturbations and climate changes. However, the relationship between hydrate dynamics, carbon cycle dist...

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has emerged as a promising strategy for mitigating CO2 emissions while producing valuable chemicals. However, conventional CCU relies on separate capture, purification, and conversion...

Amid escalating global climate concerns, the reliance of the transportation sector on high-carbon fossil fuels urgently demands sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as a potent solution because of its zero-emis...

Abstract Understanding carbon (C) dynamics in large lake ecosystems poses challenges due to their size, causing uncertainty in their contribution to the global C cycle. Here, we used autonomous underwater vehicles to cal...

To maximize the utilization of its single-atom thin nature, a facile scheme to fabricate graphene multilayer films via a layer-by-layer self-assembled process was presented. The structure of multilayer films was construc...

This study presents a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of various regression models for estimating forest stand phytomass stocks in spruce forests developed on Al-Fe-humic podzols at the northern tree line in th...

Terrestrial evaporation ($E$) plays a crucial role in the water, energy, and carbon cycles and modulates climate change through multiple feedback mechanisms. While process-based models estimate $E$ using satellite-derive...

Forests play an important role in water and carbon cycles in semiarid regions such as the Mediterranean ecosystems. Previous research in the Chilean Mediterranean forests revealed a break point in 1980 in regional tree-r...

Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) is a critical process influencing energy, water, and carbon cycles. Numerous methods have been developed to estimate ET accurately and robustly across diverse scales. Many of these method...

The sustainable production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose remains a major challenge in advancing bio-based chemical platforms. Despite extensive research, achieving high HMF yields in environmentally frien...

Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, has a digenetic life cycle. In itspassage from the insect vector to the mammalian host, and vice versa, it must be preparedto cope with abrupt changes in enviro...

Abstract Although sea-ice ridges are prominent features of the Arctic Ocean, very little is known about their role as habitats and in biogeochemical cycles. Here, we show that ridges provide complex sea-ice habitats whic...

Forest regrowth occupies an extensive and increasing area in the Amazon basin, but accurate assessment of the impact of regrowth on carbon and nutrient cycles has been hampered by a paucity of available allometric equati...
