Lignin, from biomass waste to sustainable materials for food packaging, antiviral coatings and agriculture

Our planet has been challenged for years by our reckless use of fossil fuels, which has led to the ongoing climate change and energy crisis. The transition to the use of renewable alternative sources has now became urgent and inevitable. The valorization o ...

Using PhenoCams to track crop phenology and explain the effects of different cropping systems on yield

Christoph Bachofen, Yujie Liu

CONTEXT: Crop phenology integrates information of how environmental drivers and management practices affect plant performance and crop yield. However, little is known about the impact of cropping systems (CS) on crop phenology and how this relates to diffe ...

Growing maize landraces in industrialized countries: from the search for seeds to the emergence of new practices and values

Marianna Fenzi

In industrialized countries, maize cultivation is mainly associated with the use of hybrid varieties and input-intensive monocultures. Despite the homogeneity of European maize landscapes, alternative models of maize production based on landraces exist. Un ...

Continuous hydrogenolysis of acetal-stabilized lignin in flow

Jeremy Luterbacher, Songlan Sun, Jean Thierry C Behaghel de Bueren, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Yuan-Peng Du, Wu Lan

Using acetal-stabilized lignin we performed a truly steady state continuous high-yielding lignin depolymerization (45% monophenolics using Ni/C), which offered a window into challenges and opportunities that will be faced when processing this feedstock. Wi ...

A partially self-regenerating synthetic cell

Sebastian Maerkl, Barbora Lavickova, Nadanai Laohakunakorn

Self-regeneration is a fundamental function of all living systems. Here we demonstrate partial molecular self-regeneration in a synthetic cell. By implementing a minimal transcription-translation system within microfluidic reactors, the system is able to r ...

Species identity, rather than species mixtures, drives cover crop effects on nutrient partitioning in unfertilized agricultural soil

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Lucas Georges Jean-Paul Freund

Aims Previous cover crop studies mainly focused on the links between plant uptake and soil fertility, and there is a clear knowledge gap regarding the role of microbes in these processes. Our aim was then to better understand the effects of plant mixtures ...

Patterns and Drivers of Extracellular Enzyme Activity in New Zealand Glacier-Fed Streams

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Matteo Tolosano, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Tyler Joe Kohler, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Vincent Henri De Staercke, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Michail Styllas, Martina Andrea Schön

Glacier-fed streams (GFSs) exhibit near-freezing temperatures, variable flows, and often high turbidities. Currently, the rapid shrinkage of mountain glaciers is altering the delivery of meltwater, solutes, and particulate matter to GFSs, with unknown cons ...

Long-term effects of crop succession, soil tillage and climate on wheat yield and soil properties

Mathieu Raymond Santonja, María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer

Climate change is increasing crop losses and yield variability with impacts for global food security. In this context, conservation agriculture appears as a potential solution to maintain crop productivity, soil fertility and environmental sustainability. ...

Study of synergetic effect, catalytic poisoning and regeneration using dielectric barrier discharge and photocatalysis in a continuous reactor: Abatement of pollutants in air mixture system

Sami Rtimi

In the present work the abatement of butyraldehyde (BUTY), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and their mixtures in gas phase was studied in continuous reactor at three different configurations: photocatalysis (TiO2 + UV), dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma ...

Drought-induced shifts in plants traits, yields and nutritive value under realistic grazing and mowing managements in a mountain grassland

Alexandre Buttler, Constant Signarbieux, Thomas Spiegelberger, Claire Emilie Deléglise

Extreme drought events can dramatically impact grassland ecosystems, causing potential loss of forage production for livestock in temperate grasslands. However, knowledge of drought effects on forage production, nutritive value and plant community stabilit ...
