Growing maize landraces in industrialized countries: from the search for seeds to the emergence of new practices and values
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 ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2021Sensor and the Beast: Generalised Methods to Recognise Animal Behaviour and Quantify Energy Expenditure Using Inertial Sensors, and Applications
How an animal allocates time and energy to different activities has repercussions for its survival, fitness, and response to changing environmental conditions. Fine-scale information on animal behaviour and energy expenditure can help develop better inform ...
EPFL2020Responses of plant leaf economic and hydraulic traits mediate the effects of early- and late-season drought on grassland productivity
Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Constant Signarbieux, Amarante Vitra, Claire Emilie Deléglise, Lia Aimée Marie-Joe Lamacque
Drought can occur at different times during the grassland growing season, likely having contrasting effects on forage production when happening early or later in the season. However, knowledge about the interacting effects of the timing of drought and the ...
Oxford University Press (OUP)2019Time-Continuous Phosphorus Flows in the Indian Agri-Food Sector: Long-Term Drivers and Management Options
Phosphorus (P) is a major agricultural nutrient and, in its mineable form, a potentially scarce resource. Countries with limited physical access to P should hence develop an effective national P governance. This requires analyses of trends and variations i ...
2018Impact of drought on the functioning of grassland systems
Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Amarante Vitra
A rainfall manipulation experiment was conducted over a two-year period on two semi-natural grassland sites, in order to determine the effects of drought on both forage production (dry matter and nutritive value) and plant-soil relationships. Water stress ...
AGRARFORSCHUNG2018Simultaneous optimisation and heat integration of evaporation systems including mechanical vapour recompression and background process
François Maréchal, Maziar Kermani
This paper proposes a general superstructure and a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model for the synthesis and simultaneous optimisation and Heat Integration (HI) of Single- and Multiple Effect Evaporation (SEE/MEE) systems including Mechanical ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2018Enzymatic hydrolysis of microwave assisted acid pretreated chili postharvest residue for the production of value added products
Agricultural crop residues serve as a renewable source for production of bioethanol and other value added chemicals. Optimization of enzymatic saccharification may ensure cost-effective production of bioethanol and other industrially important products. He ...
NATL INST SCIENCE COMMUNICATION-NISCAIR2018Integrating models across temporal and spatial scales to simulate landscape patterns and dynamics in mountain pasture-woodlands
Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Context Pasture-woodlands are semi-natural landscapes that result from the combined influences of climate, management, and intrinsic vegetation dynamics. These landscapes are sensitive to future changes in land use and climate, but our ability to predict t ...
Springer2017Life Cycle Assessment of Vetiver-Based Biorefinery With Production of Bioethanol and Furfural
Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman
Lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks are considered as one of the major alternative for fossil and food based transport fuel and chemicals for the reasons such as fuel/food security, depleting fossil reserves, climate change, mitigate pollution in agricultur ...
