Environmental impacts of alternative co-substrates for biogas production : a comparative life cycle assessment por Croxatto Vega, Giovanna Catalina

“…This is due to its low nutrient content, high methane yield potential, and low water content, which resulted in the lowest environmental impacts for eutrophication and the most savings for climate change potential. The second best co-substrate was identified to be the solid fraction of separated slurry and lastly the OFMSW had the most environmental impacts out of all scenarios, due to its relationship to energy production from incineration. …”

Forest-Water Interactions Under Global Change por Jones, J.A., Wei, X., Archer, E., Bishop, K., Blanco, J.A., Ellison, D., Gush, M.B., McNulty, S.G., Noordwijk, M. van, Creed, I.F.

“…However, each disturbance process affects different components of the forest, producing distinctive hydrologic effects. Climate change will directly alter forest hydrological processes, and social and economic factors will directly alter forest management, via intensive plantations, deforestation, forest degradation, selective logging, loss of riparian forest, and loss of urban trees, and changes in disturbance regimes. …”

Future carbon emissions from global mangrove forest loss por Adame, M.F., Connolly, R.M., Turschwell, M.P., Lovelock, C.E., Fatoyinbo, T., Lagomasino, D., Goldberg, L.A., Holdorf, J., Friess, D.A., Sasmito, S.D., Sanderman, J., Sievers, M., Buelow, C., Kauffman, J.B., Bryan-Brown, D., Brown, C.J.

“…These ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon for long periods, and their protection reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports climate change mitigation. Incorporating mangroves into Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement and their valuation on carbon markets requires predicting how the management of different land‐uses can prevent future greenhouse gas emissions and increase CO2 sequestration. …”
