Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal carbonization of biomass residuals: a comparative review of the chemistry, processes and applications of wet and dry pyrolysis
Judy A. Libra,Kyoung S. Ro,Claudia Kammann,Axel Funke,Nicole D. Berge,York Neubauer,Maria-Magdalena Titirici,Christoph Fühner,Oliver Bens,Jürgen Kern,Karl-Heinz Emmerich +10 more
TL;DR: The wet pyrolysis process, also known as hydrothermal carbonization, opens up the field of potential feedstocks for char production to a range of nontraditional renewable and plentiful wet agricultural residues and municipal wastes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agroforestry systems for the production of woody biomass for energy transformation purposes.
Holger Gruenewald,Barbara K.V. Brandt,B. Uwe Schneider,Oliver Bens,Gerald Kendzia,Reinhard F. Hüttl +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two agroforestry systems were established on reclaimed mine sites in NE-Germany (Lusatia) and Central Germany (Helmstedt) and the yield potential and the sustainability of yields were studied for different clones of poplar (Populus spp), willow (Salix viminalis L), and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L), considering different rotation periods (3, 6-, and 9-year rotationation) and approaches of soil amelioration (mineral fertiliser, compost)
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil development and properties of microbial biomass succession in reclaimed post mining sites near Sokolov (Czech Republic) and near Cottbus (Germany)
TL;DR: In this article, carbon and phosphorus in microbial biomass and microbial activity (basal respiration, metabolic quotient) were studied in several chronosequences of reclaimed post mining sites near Sokolov (Czech Republic) and Cottbus (Germany).
Journal ArticleDOI
Tillage Effects on Hydraulic Properties and Macroporosity in Silty and Sandy Soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a closed-top hood infiltrometer (HIF) to measure macroporosity and surface soil hydraulic properties in two soils of different texture (Lietzen: sandy loam-Humic Dystrudept; Adenstedt: silt loam; Typic Hapludoll) under conventional (CT) and conservational (RT) tillage systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water repellency in sandy luvisols under different forest transformation stages in northeast Germany
TL;DR: In this paper, the water repellency on geologically comparable forest sites with different stand ages and tree species in terms of the effects of forest transformation upon soil physical properties was investigated.
