The application of composted manure with tree residues proved to be a viable resource of essential plant nutrients.
We concluded that the increase of light fraction soil C between year 5 and 10 is most likely due to C input from tree residues.
The soil of a no-tillage system covered with legumes tree residues was subjected to the following treatments: Leucaena + Clitoria (L + C); Leucaena + Gliricidia (L + G); Leucaena + Acacia (L + A); Gliricidia + Clitoria (G + C); Gliricidia + Acacia (G + A); and a control with bare soil (BS) and no legumes.
In Mediterranean countries, olive tree pruning residue represents an abundant source of energy biomass, still largely unexploited for lack of cost-effective harvesting technology.
In the present study, a predictive model based on proximate analysis of biomass input has been applied on experimental results from three agricultural residues (olive tree cuttings, rapeseed residues and soya residues) which have been pyrolyzed and gasified in a captive sample (fast pyrolysis) and a fixed bed reactor respectively.
They include agricultural residues, food farming wastes, green-grocer's wastes, tree pruning residues, and the organic and paper fractions of urban solid wastes.
Cellulosic ethanol, produced from trees, biomass residues, and herbaceous and other non-food-source biomass is a sustainable alternative that does not use feedstocks that would otherwise compete with existing food supplies.
Localized soil amendment with rice husk contributed to both peach tree performance and residue management.
We showed that residue tree species was the most important factor for saproxylic biodiversity, as it not only influences assemblage composition, but also species number.
In mouse, Tyr-54 and Thr-58 regulate PSGL-1 interactions with P-selectin.[ 23] Because only one tyrosine is used, it was suggested that mouse PSGL-1 binding may rely more on O-glycans attached to Thr-58 than does human PSGL-1.[ 23] This may also occur in other mammals, which exhibit a single tyrosine residue (tree shrew, bat and horse, Fig. 1).
