Impacts of plant diversity on biomass production increase through time because of species complementarity.
Accelerating rates of species extinction have prompted a growing number of researchers to manipulate the richness of various groups of organisms and examine how this aspect of diversity impacts ecological processes that control the functioning of ecosystems. We summarize the results of 44 experiments that have manipulated the richness of plants to examine how plant diversity affects the product...
متن کاملEarthworms increase plant production: a meta-analysis
To meet the challenge of feeding a growing world population with minimal environmental impact, we need comprehensive and quantitative knowledge of ecological factors affecting crop production. Earthworms are among the most important soil dwelling invertebrates. Their activity affects both biotic and abiotic soil properties, in turn affecting plant growth. Yet, studies on the effect of earthworm...
متن کاملBiotechnological Strategies to Improve Plant Biomass Quality for Bioethanol Production
The transition from an economy dependent on nonrenewable energy sources to one with higher diversity of renewables will not be a simple process. It requires an important research effort to adapt to the dynamics of the changing energy market, sort costly processes, and avoid overlapping with social interest markets such as food and livestock production. In this review, we analyze the desirable t...
متن کاملBiofuel Production from Plant Biomass: Bioethanol from Concept to Reality
Natural energy reserves like petrol and diesel etc are depleting as such it is of paramount importance to find alternative fuels. Solar energy is traped as biomass in plants. Biomass provide an excellent reserve for traping solar energy on field. Complex enzymatic machinery comprising of hydrolytic reactions and consolidated bioprocessing is needed to make viable bioenergy mostly biofuels like ...
