Journal ArticleDOI
The status of conventional world oil reserves—Hype or cause for concern?
TL;DR: The status of world oil reserves is a contentious issue, polarised between advocates of peak oil who believe production will soon decline, and major oil companies that say there is enough oil to last for decades as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A roadmap for research on crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to enhance sustainable food and bioenergy production in a hotter, drier world.

TL;DR: To exploit the potential of CAM crops and CAM bioengineering, it will be necessary to elucidate the evolution, genomic features, and regulatory mechanisms of CAM, which has potential for high returns on research investment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A system dynamics model integrating physiology and biochemical regulation predicts extent of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) phases
Nick A. Owen,Howard Griffiths +1 more
TL;DR: A system dynamics approach was taken to model crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) expression from measured biochemical and physiological constants, and the transition in CAM expression from low to high volume/area tissues was achieved largely by the manipulation three input parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marginal land bioethanol yield potential of four crassulacean acid metabolism candidates (Agave fourcroydes, Agave salmiana, Agave tequilana and Opuntia ficus-indica) in Australia
Nick A. Owen,Howard Griffiths +1 more
TL;DR: This research indicated the CAM pathway may produce significant yields (≥≥ 5 kL ha‐1 yr‐1) at ER sites totalling 57,700 km2 (0.7% land area of Australia).
Journal ArticleDOI
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) offers sustainable bioenergy production and resilience to climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first global-scale geographic information system (GIS)-based productivity model of two highly water-efficient crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) candidates: Agave tequilana and Opuntia ficus-indica.
