Thinning Can Reduce Losses in Carbon Use Efficiency and Carbon Stocks in Managed Forests Under Warmer Climate.
J Adv Model Earth Syst
October 2018
Article Synopsis
- Forest carbon use efficiency (CUE) is how well forests use photosynthesis without wasting it on plant breathing; it's important for climate change studies but often overlooked.
- The study looks at how thinning trees affects carbon in three types of European forests, especially as climate change warms the planet and increases CO2 in the air.
- The results suggest that thinning can help forests store more carbon and stay healthy for longer, making it a good strategy to fight climate change.
Refinery and concentration of nutrients from urine with electrodialysis enabled by upstream precipitation and nitrification.
Water Res

Center for Microbial Ecology and Technology (CMET), Faculty of Bioscience Engineering - Ghent University, Coupure Links 653, 9000 Gent, Belgium; Research Group of Sustainable Energy, Air and Water Technology, Department of Bioscience Engineering - University of Antwerp, Groenenborgerlaan 171, 2020 Antwerpen, Belgium. Electronic address:
Human urine is a valuable resource for nutrient recovery, given its high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but the compositional complexity of urine presents a challenge for an energy-efficient concentration and refinery of nutrients. In this study, a pilot installation combining precipitation, nitrification and electrodialysis (ED), designed for one person equivalent (1.2 L d), was continuously operated for ∼7 months.
