TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether charcoal is assimilated by microorganisms or not and estimated the rate of mineralization depending on the degree of thermal alteration of the black carbon.

TL;DR: A versatile reference framework is established that would allow for the selection of standardized settings for LCA applications in insect production systems, taking both the peculiarity of each system and the latest developments in food LCA into account.

TL;DR: A framework for selecting the best parameters for an LCA application in fruit production systems according to the objective of the study is proposed by reviewing the scientific and technical literature on the topic.

TL;DR: A model capable of quantifying the potential environmental impacts of agricultural application of composted or anaerobically digested source-separated organic municipal solid waste is presented and a range of benefits, mainly related to improved soil quality from long-term application of the processed organic waste, could not be generally quantified with respect to the chosen life cycle assessment impact categories and were therefore not included in the model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the agroecosystem model Daisy to simulate a range of different scenarios representing different geographical areas, farm and soil types under Danish conditions and legislation, and found that the application of processed organic waste resulted in increased emissions compared with the corresponding standard scenarios, but with large differences between scenarios.
