Stump Harvesting for Bioenergy – A Review of the Environmental Impacts

In the majority of modern forest management systems, mature trees are harvested above the root collar, leaving stumps in the ground. Due to widespread concern about climatic change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, increasing prices of fossil fuels and a desire to improve energy security, there is a growing interest in the exploitation of alternative sources of energy, incl...

Iron Biogeochemistry and Its Environmental Impacts in Freshwater Lakes

Iron is an essential element for almost all living species. Its environmental impacts on physiology and ecology of aquatic organisms are always the focus of limnology and oceanography. To gain insight into iron biogeochemistry and its environmental impacts in freshwater lakes, we collected and reviewed numerous studies on iron in combination with our own work. Our review reports iron sources, i...
