Deforestation-free land-use change and organic matter-centered management improve the C footprint of oil palm expansion

Alexandre Buttler

In recent decades, mounting evidence has indicated that the expansion of oil palm (OP) plantations at the expense of tropical forest has had a far pernicious effect on ecosystem aspects. While various deforestation-free strategies have been proposed to enh ...

Computational investigation of functionalized carbenes on dinitrogen activation

Sophia Kathryn Johnson

Activation of the dinitrogen triple bond is a crucial step in the overall fixation of atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms for industrial and biological applications. Current synthetic catalysts incorporate metal ions to facilitate the activation and cle ...

A metal-organic framework/polymer derived catalyst containing single-atom nickel species for electrocatalysis

Emad Oveisi, Wendy Lee Queen, Mehrdad Asgari, Wen Luo, Shuliang Yang, Daniel Teav Sun, Li Peng, Olga Trukhina, Ilia Kochetygov, Dragos-Constantin Stoian, Jie Zhang

While metal-organic frameworks (MOF) alone offer a wide range of structural tunability, the formation of composites, through the introduction of other non-native species, like polymers, can further broaden their structure/property spectrum. Here we demonst ...

Shift in plant-soil interactions along a lakeshore hydrological gradient

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Wenjuan Feng

Wetlands occupy the transitional zone between aquatic and terrestrial systems. Hydrological conditions have significant influence on wetland plant communities and soil biogeochemistry. However, our knowledge about plant-soil interactions in wetlands along ...

Chemical composition, nutrient-balancing and biological treatment of hand washing greywater

Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé

On-site biological hand washing water treatment can improve global access to safe hand washing water, but requires a thorough understanding of the chemical composition of the water to be treated, and an effective treatment strategy. This study first presen ...

Effect of a halogen-based precursor on dopant incorporation in 3C-SiC film epitaxy

Marco Negri

Silicon carbide thin films were synthesised by vapour phase epitaxy technique on silicon substrates using silane and propane as precursors. Methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) was added, and nitrogen was used as dopant precursor. Samples with different doping conc ...

Combined Exergy Analysis and Energy Integration for the Optimization of Nitrogen Fertilizer Plants

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Shivom Sharma

Modern ammonia production plants are equipped with efficient energy integration networks able to recover an important fraction of the enthalpy of reaction released by the exothermic chemical systems. However, to fully supply the exergy demands of the highl ...

Influence of tides and waves on the fate of nutrients in a nearshore aquifer: Numerical simulations

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

A numerical investigation is presented that demonstrates the influence of tides and waves on the transport and transformation of nutrients (NO3-; NH4+; PO43-) in a homogeneous unconfined nearshore aquifer and subsequent fluxes to the sea. Simulations of an ...

Dilute-Nitride Low-Dimensional Nanostructures Formed on Non-Planar Substrates

Romain Carron

The properties of semiconductors heterostructures of nanoscopic dimensions change from that of bulk material according to the rules of quantum mechanics. The planar quantum wells (QWs) are widely used in various diode and laser devices thanks to the relati ...

Glasshouse vs field experiments: do they yield ecologically similar results for assessing N impacts on peat mosses?

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza

Peat bogs have accumulated more atmospheric carbon (C) than any other terrestrial ecosystem today. Most of this C is associated with peat moss (Sphagnum) litter. Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition can decrease Sphagnum production, compromising the C seque ...

Retention of atmospherically deposited nitrogen in soil : field and laboratory experiments using 15N isotope and 15N CPMAS NMR spectroscopy

Isabelle Morier Jaquet

Since a few decades, the balance of the nitrogen (N) cycle has been deeply disturbed by human activies. The global impact of these activities on the N cycle can be described as a doubling of the transfer from the vast and unreactive atmospheric pool to bio ...
