Ecological and socio-economic functions across tropical land use systems after rainforest conversion
(
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
, 2016)
Tropical lowland rainforests are increasingly threatened by the expansion of agriculture and the extraction of natural resources. In Jambi Province, Indonesia, the interdisciplinary EFForTS project focuses on the ecological ...
A review of the ecosystem functions in oil palm plantations, using forests as a reference system
(
- Biological Reviews
, 2016)
Oil palm plantations have expanded rapidly in recent decades. This large-scale land-use change has had great ecological, economic, and social impacts on both the areas converted to oil palm and their surroundings. However, ...
Water scarcity and oil palm expansion: social views and environmental processes
(
- Ecology and Society
, 2016)
Conversions of natural ecosystems, e.g., from rain forests to managed plantations, result in significant changes in the
hydrological cycle including periodic water scarcity. In Indonesia, large areas of forest were lost ...
Chronic and Acute Effects of Imidacloprid on a Simulated BEEHAVE Honeybee Colony
(
- Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
, 2022-08-17)
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are important pollinators for wild plants as well as for crops, but honeybee performance is threatened by several stressors including varroa mites, gaps in foraging supply, and pesticides. The ...
Increased phosphorus availability from sewage sludge ashes to maize in a crop rotation with clover
(
- Soil Use and Management
, 2022-04-23)
A recycling of Phosphorus (P) from the human food chain is mandatory to secure the future P supply for food production. However, many available recycled P fertilizers from sewage sludge do not have an adequate P bioavailability ...
Location choice for large‐scale battery manufacturing plants: Exploring the role of clean energy, costs, and knowledge on location decisions in Europe
(
- Journal of Industrial Ecology
, 2022-08-01)
Driven by an increase in the demand for battery electric vehicles, the location of large‐scale battery manufacturing plants, that is, gigafactories, has become a substantial and burgeoning topic in academia, policy, and ...
Modeling Subsurface Hydrogen Storage With Transport Properties From Entropy Scaling Using the PC‐SAFT Equation of State
(
- Water Resources Research
, 2022-04-13)
Hydrogen is a promising alternative to carbon based energy carriers and may be stored in large quantities in subsurface storage deposits. This work assesses the impact of static (density and phase equilibria) and dynamic ...
Development of an Alternative Test System for Chronic Testing of Lotic Macroinvertebrate Species: A Case Study with the Insecticide Imidacloprid
(
- Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
, 2021-06-22)
There are currently few suitable test systems for the chronic toxicity testing of aquatic macroinvertebrates under stream conditions. Therefore, a new test system mimicking running water conditions was developed for testing ...
Tillage erosion as an important driver of in‐field biomass patterns in an intensively used hummocky landscape
(
- Land Degradation & Development
, 2021-05-07)
Tillage erosion causes substantial soil redistribution that can exceed water erosion especially in hummocky landscapes under highly mechanized large field agriculture. Consequently, truncated soil profiles can be found on ...
Factors Affecting Spatial and Temporal Variability of Metals in Drainage Water from Arable Fields
(
- CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water
, 2021-05-06)
Respecting fertilizer application, the metal content in drainage water is studied under conventional agricultural management from 2013 to 2014 in two adjacent fields located in the North German Plain. Findings are compared ...
