Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought

Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought-related climate extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the survival of trees and reduce its variability in young forest plantatio ...

Tree water uptake patterns across the globe

Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen

Plant water uptake from the soil is a crucial element of the global hydrological cycle and essential for vegetation drought resilience. Yet, knowledge of how the distribution of water uptake depth (WUD) varies across species, climates, and seasons is scarc ...

Above- and below-ground responses to experimental climate forcing in two forb species from montane wooded pastures in Switzerland

Alexandre Buttler, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov

Mountain ecosystems are particularly threatened by ongoing climate change and the species composition of high elevation grasslands is already changing. An open research question is how these ecosystems will adapt to changes in their key environmental const ...

A Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Formulation for Optimizing Multi-Scale Material and Energy Integration

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Hür Ebuzer Bütün, Jean-Loup Sylvain Robineau

This research presents a mathematical formulation for optimizing integration of complex industrial systems from the level of unit operations to processes, entire plants, and finally to considering industrial symbiosis opportunities between plants. The fram ...

Phytoremediation of soils contaminated by organic compounds: hype, hope and facts

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

The present opinion paper is focused on the phytoremediation of organic pollutants and is based on the lectures given by the author during the International Congress of Phytoremediation of Polluted Soils, held at Vigo, Spain, 29-30 July 2014. The aim of th ...

Identifying environmentally and economically optimal bioenergy plant sizes and locations: A spatial model of wood-based SNG value chains

Martin Gassner, Léda Gerber, Bernhard Steubing

The optimal size and location of bioenergy plants with regards to environmental and economic performance are assessed with a spatially explicit value chain model of the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) from wood. It consists of several individual ...

Factors modulating cottongrass seedling growth stimulation to enhanced nitrogen and carbon dioxide: compensatory tradeoffs in leaf dynamics and allocation to meet potassium-limited growth

Alexandre Buttler, Andy Siegenthaler

Eriophorum vaginatum is a characteristic species of northern peatlands and a keystone plant for cutover bog restoration. Understanding the factors affecting E. vaginatum seedling establishment (i.e. growth dynamics and allocation) under global change has p ...

Spatio-Temporal Surface Shear-Stress Variability in Live Plant Canopies and Cube Arrays

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Benjamin Andreas Walter

This study presents spatiotemporally-resolved measurements of surface shear-stress tau (s) in live plant canopies and rigid wooden cube arrays to identify the sheltering capability against sediment erosion of these different roughness elements. Live plants ...

Conjugation of atrazine in vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides Nash) grown in hydroponics

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Sylvie Vullioud-Marcacci

The resistance mechanism of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides Nash) to atrazine was investigated to evaluate its potential for phytoremediation of environment contaminated with the herbicide. Plants known to metabolise atrazine rely on hydroxylation mediate ...
