Life cycle assessment of North American forest harvesting operations and wood processing for sustainable materials and energy products: A systematic review

This study provides a systematic review of life cycle assessment for forest harvesting systems in North America, to quantitatively assess the carbon footprint and overall impacts of lumber production and various harvested wood products and their use as biomaterials and bioenergy....

Prescribed burns drive lasting changes in soil nitrogen cycling and microbial function

ABSTRACT Fire is a major pulse disturbance to soil microbial communities, with broad implications for nutrient cycling; however, regular burning is also a natural and often-essential process maintaining biodiversity in unique and imperiled fire-dependent ecosystems. Prescribed fi...

Mitigation of drought and cadmium stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum) through blue-red LED light and ginger-mediated ZnO nanoparticles

Drought and cadmium stress are among the significant challenges for wheat production, leading to yield losses and quality issues. Therefore, current study was aimed to investigate the effect of ginger ( Zingiber officinale )- mediated green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NP)...
