Natural carbon dioxide production from deep subsurface soils contributes significantly to emissions, even in a semiarid floodplain.
New analysis uses detection and attribution methods to establish multiyear trends of vegetation growth in northern-extratropical latitudes.
Community composition is vital to managing native grasslands amid climate and precipitation variations.
Genetic approaches will aid development of higher biomass-yielding, sustainable trees for bioenergy feedstocks.
“Master regulator” gene will facilitate management and breeding of trees better adapted to changing environments.
Better understanding could lead to more cost-effective production of cellulosic biofuels.
Recycling waste from biofuel production could lower cost for future biorefineries.
A novel E. coli fatty acid biosynthesis system could more efficiently convert biomass to desired products.
New findings will help extend the lifetime of catalysts used to process bio-oils in liquid systems.
