Biomass

The use of biochar on a widespread and large-scale has thus been shown to be greatly beneficial in the fight against climate change, as well as for sustainable soil management. But before this can be seriously implemented and developed into policy, scientific evidence must be expanded to fully cover implication of its use on soil properties, processes and functions (Verheijen et al 2012). Until this has been comprehensively quantified, regulations have a higher likelihood of unsuccessfully…

Initially algae are cultivated in any type of industrial reactors. After the growth is complete algae is grinded. After this step oil is extracted from algae by press or expeller, solvent extraction with hexane or supercritical fluid extraction. The biomass produced after this step can be used as high protein feedstock for livestock, this causes value addition to the waste stream produced in the process. The further downstream processes involve separation and washing to obtain pure…

modern times when marijuana is already being used for a few medical uses it makes sense to completely lift the prohibition. Cannabis is usually looked upon as only a drug however there is market for other uses; from clothes, to plastic, ropes, paper, biomass and fuel[ ]. The hemp plant is extremely resourceful and efficient to use, also it is all natural. The illegalization should be reviewed completely as the reasons for illegalization are not valid in present times. Legalizing marijuana would…

Whether or Not America Should Make the Shift to Renewable Energy? The concept of a shining future fueled by an infinite cache of energy has existed for ages. Yet, in the current year of 2015, that concept is still far from being a reality. Many countries around the world are still highly dependent on fossil fuels in order to meet their daily needs. Why, in a time full of ever advancing technology, is this the case? Should America make the shift to renewable energy a priority? Opinions vary…

Two Global Human Activities and How they Create Smog Two Global Human Activities and How they Create Smog Commuting by automobile everyday for work or other human activities may be an average recurrence in the American society but all of the convenience in arriving on schedule comes with a sacrifice, air pollution. Agriculture is also human necessity that releases vast amount of nitrous oxides that help create smog or air pollution; agriculture and transportation are the two human activities…

reversal of roles, a submissive maid turned warrior. While the use of shape in Saar’s work is subtle, Hunt’s entire sculpture functions through meaningful shapes. The protruding rounded “growths” on the larger geometric shapes, appear like organic biomass on an overgrown industrial structure. These shapes are both reminiscent of fish…

The world of microbiology is a vast one. In theory, microbiology is the study of single celled micro organisms and viruses, that work independently of each other. These microbial cells are the backbone and fundamental unit of life. Most of the biomass present on earth today is microbial, with almost 5.3x10^30 cells present, mostly in terrestrial and oceanic subsurfaces. Within these subsurfaces, many microbial communities exist, with especially specific types of bacteria having important niches…

Mucor hiemalis showed high resistance to (Zn, Al) (Table, 37 & Fig. 46). The most interesting, high concentrations of zinc stimulated the growth better than low concentrations (Table 37), Aluminum could stimulate the growth of the fungus slightly in concentrations 100 ppm and 300 ppm respectively. Lower and higher concentrations slightly inhibited the growth but aluminum couldn’t stop the growth of the fungus (Table 37, Fig. 46). While (Mn , Cu and Pb) succeeded to stimulate the growth of Mucor…

to our state to enjoy a hunt. According to Shaw the WTD population plays an even more vital role in the survival of both humans and animals. “WTD are a keystone species with tremendous ability to impact the environment. A deer, eats about 1 ton of biomass per year, and they are, concentrate selectors. Meaning the WTD do not eat at random this species selects the very best plants during a time of year when those plants are the most nutritious and easy to digest”(Shaw). Having to many deer eating…

and how the landscape regulate the movement and accumulation of resources (David, 2017). So, we can know the infiltration rates, sediment deposition, runoff volume and net losses of soil and organic matter caused by runoff. Then we can measure how biomass effect runoff and protect soil. We also did exotic pasture LFA, and a grassy sward represented a single patch. By…
