Epiphytes: photosynthesis, water balance and nutrients

Photosynthesis and Carbon Balance

The requirements for modelling photosynthesis and related processes within the framework of a Functional-Structural Plant Model (FSPM; cf. Vos et al. this volume) are discussed. A combined local gas (carbon dioxide, water vapour) and radiant energy exchange model (GREM) is presented, that was specified to be embedded into an FSPM. The model accounts for the effect of organ nitrogen content (N) ...

Life-cycle analysis on biodiesel production from microalgae: water footprint and nutrients balance.

This research examines the life-cycle water and nutrients usage of microalgae-based biodiesel production. The influence of water types, operation with and without recycling, algal species, geographic distributions are analyzed. The results confirm the competitiveness of microalgae-based biofuels and highlight the necessity of recycling harvested water and using sea/wastewater as water source. T...
