A paper on applying biophysical process and functioning to urban ecology. Kaye, J.P., Groffman, P.M., Grimm, N.B., Baker, L.A. & Pouyat, R.V. 2006. A Distinct Urban Biogeochemistry? Trends in Ecology and Evolution. 21 (4): 192-199. Link: http://kayelab.psu.edu/pdf/kaye_trends2006.pdf ABSTRACT Most of the human population lives in urban areas where biogeochemical cycles are controlled by complex interactions between society and the environment. Urban ecology is an emerging discipline that... Read Full Story

MAGMA ENERGY This is a report that was published in 1982, representing research from the late 1970s i.e. during the previous energy crisis when the elevated oil prices had created much interest in the field of alternative / renewable energy (like in the present). This is one of the many initiatives that seems to have been forgotten when the oil prices crashed in the mid-80s, but it is very interesting to read from the perspective of our present circumstances

Livestock production is an important food supply and economic activity, the primary goal of which is to supply high-quality protein (meat, eggs, dairy products, etc) for the needs of human populations. The animals serve as concentrated sources of typically dispersed nutrients. Subsidiary products may include leather, fertilizers, inputs to animal feeds, and energy sources (biofuels). The challenge of sustainable livestock production systems is to promote food security in a manner which is... Read Full Story

The Role of Innate Properties of Soils in Sustainable Agriculture Land Management Strategies: Dominance of Soil Organic Matter INTRODUCTION Soil formation results from a number of dynamic processes at the interface of the atmosphere and the earth. This involves several factors, including: parent material, climate, biota, topography and time. Interactions between these features (largely inter-dependent) are the fundamental determinants of the properties, and hence the type of soil, which... Read Full Story

As the world mulls over the conundrum of how to satisfy a seemingly endless appetite for energy and still slash greenhouse gas emissions, researchers have stumbled upon an unexpected hero: algae . So-called microalgae hold enormous potential when it comes to reining in both climate change, since they naturally absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, as well as energy production, since they can easily be converted to a range of different fuel types. This is certainly one of the most promising... Read Full Story

Our life on Earth depends on a dynamic complex of linkages, synergies and interactions among the processes, components and sub-systems of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. The ecological view of sustainability focuses on the stability of biological and physical systems. Of particular importance is the viability of sub-systems that are crucial to the global stability of the overall ecosystem. Protection of biodiversity is a key aspect. Furthermore natural ecosystems may... Read Full Story
