Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePERFORMANCE STUDIES ON DOWNDRAFT GASIFIER WITH BIOMASS ENERGY SOURCES AVAILABLE IN REMOTE VILLAGESV. ChristusJeya Singh, S. Joseph Sekhar, K. ThyagarajanIncreasing global concern over the environmental issues and depletion of fossil fuels, significant interest has been shown by the researchers to develop alternate energy technologies like biomass, biogas, solar to meet the future energy demand. The prediction of the performance of different biomass energy sources in gasifiers is needed for the implementation of this technology to fulfil the need of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStatus of Soil Microbial Population, Enzymatic Activity and Biomass of Selected Natural, Secondary and Rehabilitated ForestsK. S. Daljit Singh, A. Arifin, O. Radziah et al.Substantial clearance of forests and conversion of forest into various land use types contribute to deterioration of soil fertility and associated nutrients loss. Soils from natural and rehabilitated forest in Chikus Forest Reserve and also enrichment planting forest and secondary forest of Tapah Hill Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia were selected in order to assess the influence of land use change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAboveground Biomass Production of Rhizophora apiculata Blume in Sarawak Mangrove ForestI.A. Chandra, G. Seca, M.K. Abu HenaProblem statement: Mangrove forests are found in tropical and subtropical coastal tidal regions. Rhizophora apiculata Blume is one of the most important species in mangrove forest. It is also one of the commercial mangrove timber species in Asia-Pacific region which dominates large areas of mangrove in this region. In order to understand forest ecosystem characteristics and to establish the proper … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 10,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of MgCl2 on Germination, Growth and Biomass Allocation of the Radish CV. "Cherry Belle"William Brandenburg, Catherine KleierProblem statement: To determine the effect of MgCl2 on radish (Raphanus sativus), plants were grown in controlled environmental growth chambers and given one of three watering treatments; 0.01, 0.1 and 0 M (control) MgCl2. Approach: At high concentrations (0.1 M), MgCl2 was toxic resulting in very low (44%) germination rates and the subsequent death of all but three undersized plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvolution of Microbial Biomasses C and N during the Composting of Municipal solid WastesOlfa Fourti, Naceur Jedidi, Abdennaceur HassenProblem statement: The aim of this study was mainly focused on the evolution of microbial biomasses C and N during the composting of municipal solid wastes. Approach: The carbon and the nitrogen of the microbial biomass (BC and BN) were studied using the fumigation-extraction method. Results: The dynamics of the BC/BN ratio, index of the chemical composition of the whole … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGrowth Performance and Biomass Accumulation of a Khaya ivorensis Plantation in three Soil Series of UltisolsYetti Heryati, Debora Belawan, Arifin Abdu et al.Abstract: Problem statement: There was no information about the relationship between growth parameters, such as diameter and height and tree component biomass of Khaya ivorensis plantations with different soil types. The objectives of this study were, first, to determine and compare the growth of K. ivorensis in three different (Padang Besar, Durian and Rengam) soil series of Ultisols and, second, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 10,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study on Potentiality of Carbon Storage and CO2 Uptake in the Biomass and Soil of Coppice StandA. Khademi, S. Babaei, A. MatajiProblem statement: Enhancing carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the forests, is a key factor in maintaining the atmosphere's carbon balance. With regard to the importance of forest in carbon sequestration, this study attempted to investigate the carbon storage potential and CO2 uptake in oak coppice stand. Approach: After combining slope, aspect and hypsometric maps, the number of land … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,921 accessesView PDFCite
