Abstract. Temperate forest ecosystems play a crucial role in governing global carbon and water cycles. However, unprecedented warming presents fundamental alterations to the ecological functions (e.g., uptake) biophysical variables leaf area index) of forests. The quantification uptake, gross primary productivity (GPP), as largest flux has direct consequence on budget estimations. Part this ass...

Biomass and carbon stock in a forested areas are now prime important indicators of forest management climate change mitigation measures. But the accurate estimation biomass trees forests is challenging issue. In most cases, pantropical regional models used frequently to estimate trees, but these estimations have some uncertainty compared species-specific allometric model. Acacia nilotica, Casua...

The microalgae biofuels life cycle assessments (LCA) present in the literature have excluded the effects of direct land use change (DLUC) from facility construction under the assumption that DLUC effects are negligible. This study seeks to model the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of microalgae biofuels including DLUC by quantifying the CO2 equivalence of carbon released to the atmosphere throug...

In this work we use metabolomics and (13)C-labeling data to refine central metabolic pathways for methane utilization in Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, a model alphaproteobacterial methanotrophic bacterium. We demonstrate here that similar to non-methane utilizing methylotrophic alphaproteobacteria the core metabolism of the microbe is represented by several tightly connected metabolic cycles...

Various readily obtainable ‘marine’ media from fishery residues were evaluated against a common commercial medium for their effectiveness for promoting growth of different bacteria. The micro-organisms investigated (genera Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Roseobacter) are of interest to aquaculture either for their pathogenic or probiotic character. Comparisons between the media were centered on the most i...

A key process in freshwater plankton food webs is the regulation of the efficiency of energy and material transfer. Cyanobacterial carbon (C) in particular is transferred very inefficiently to herbivorous zooplankton, which leads to a decoupling of primary and secondary production and the accumulation of cyanobacterial biomass, which is associated with reduced recreational quality of water bodi...

Urban trees have gained in importance during recent decades, but little is known about the temporal dynamic of tree growth in urban areas. The present study investigated the allometric relationships of stem diameter, tree height, and crown radius for six different tree species in six metropolises worldwide. Increment cores of the trees were used for identifying the relationship of basal area an...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) production in the rainfed area of Pothwar Pakistan is extremely vulnerable to high temperature. The expected increase in temperature due to global warming should result in shorter crop life cycles, and thus lower biomass and grain yield. Two major factors control wheat phenological development: temperature and photoperiod. To evaluate wheat development in response to t...
