1. A Midwest USA Perspective on Von Cossel et al.’s Prospects of Bioenergy Cropping Systems for a More Social-Ecologically Sound Bioeconomy

Author:

2073-4395
Subject:
agroecosystems; agronomy; biodiversity; bioeconomics; bioenergy cropping; carbon sequestration; climate change; employment; energy; fuels; risk reduction; rural communities; soil quality; water; Midwestern United States
Abstract:
... Bioenergy cropping systems afford the prospect to provide a more socially and ecologically sustainable bioeconomy. By creating opportunities to diversify agroecosystems, bioenergy crops can be used to fulfill multiple functions in addition to providing more environmentally benign fuels. Bioenergy crops can be assembled into cropping systems that provide both food and energy and which also provide ...

Abstract:
... Halting biodiversity decline is one of the most critical challenges for humanity, but monitoring biodiversity is hampered by taxonomic impediments. One impediment is the large number of undescribed species (here called “dark taxon impediment”) whereas another is caused by the large number of superficial species descriptions, that can only be resolved by consulting type specimens (“superficial desc ...

In response to Albrecht et al.’s (J Agric Environ Ethics 26(4):827–845, 2013) discussion on the ethics of assisted migration, we emphasize the issues of risk and scientific uncertainty as an inextricable part of a comprehensive ethical evaluation. Insisting on a separation of risk and ethical considerations, although arguably common in many policy contexts, is at best misguided and at worst damagi ...

Abstract:
... In the past 5 years, we have witnessed an increased interest in developing secondary aluminum–sulfur (Al–S) batteries. One of the main obstacles to further advance this technology is the large overpotentials observed during the recharge of the battery, which to a large extent are related to the insulating nature of the discharge product, namely Al₂S₃. The present work aims to elucidate the mechani ...

The job of fisheries scientists is to provide evidence that can be used for fisheries management both in tactical terms (i.e., from one year to the next) and strategically, in term of their broad orientations. Catch reconstructions, which consider all fisheries in a given area, can help with the latter, but they are often contested, as broad assumptions must often be made to reconcile and harmoniz ...
