Forest biomass plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Therefore, understanding the factors that control forest biomass stocks and dynamics is a key challenge in the context of global change. We analyzed data ...

Grasslands are the main source of feed for cattle in Argentina. Standing dead biomass accumulation threatens efficient resource use. The effect and timing of high impact grazing by cattle as a management tool to remove ...

Grazing and fire have been the most common disturbances in many grasslands ecosystems for many centuries. However, some mountain regions are currently experiencing a decrease in land use, and therefore in frequency or ...

An experimental fluid-dynamic study of sand-forest biomass mixture fluidization was conducted. Different proportions of biomass/sand were tested. Sawdust from the Abra Ancha sawmill, located in the town of Aluminé, Argentina, ...

Under no-tillage field conditions, cover crop (CC) residues remain on the soil surface and decompose at a slow rate. We used three CC species (oat, Avena sativa L.; rye, Secale cereale L.; and ryegrass, Lolium multiflorum ...

The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of two cutting severities on the dynamics of aerial and perennial (root plus crown) biomass of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) plants of two cultivars of contrasting fall ...

The natural Andean vegetation environment is the most important resource available to local pastoralist economies. Knowledge of its attributes is vital in assessing ecosystem properties and improves management decision ...

Biomass with a large amount of moisture is well-suited to be processed by supercritical water gasification, SCWG. The precipitation of inorganics, together with char formation and repolymerization, can cause reactor plugging ...

The paramount importance of accumulated biomass in active-growing spikes over the number of grains per unit area has been well documented. However, it is not clear how different nitrogen (N) and radiation supplies during ...
