  • assessing the use of artificial hibernacula by the great crested newt triturus cristatus and smooth newt lissotriton vulgaris in cold climate in southeast norway
    Diversity, 2018
    Co-Authors: Borre Kind Dervo, Jon Museth, Jostein Skurdal
    Abstract:

    Construction of artificial overwintering habitats, hibernacula, or newt hotels, is an important Mitigation Measure for newt populations in urban and agricultural areas. We have monitored the use of four artificial hotels built in September 2011 close to a 6000 m2 breeding pond in Norway. The four hotels ranged from 1.6 to 12.4 m3 and were located from 5 to 40 m from the breeding pond. In 2013–2015, 57 Great Crested Newts (Triturus cristatus) and 413 Smooth Newts (Lissotriton vulgaris) spent the winter in the hotels. The proportions of juveniles were 75% and 62%, respectively, and the hotels may be important to secure recruitment. Knowledge on emigration routes and habitat quality for summer use and winter hibernation is important to find good locations for newt hotels. The study documented that newts may survive a minimum temperature of −6.7 °C. We recommend that newt hotels in areas with harsh climate are dug into the ground in slopes to reduce low-temperature exposure during winter.

  • the underappreciated potential of peatlands in global climate change Mitigation strategies
    Nature Communications, 2018
    Co-Authors: Jens Leifeld, Lorenzo Menichetti
    Abstract:

    Soil carbon sequestration and avoidable emissions through peatland restoration are both strategies to tackle climate change. Here we compare their potential and environmental costs regarding nitrogen and land demand. In the event that no further areas are exploited, drained peatlands will cumulatively release 80.8 Gt carbon and 2.3 Gt nitrogen. This corresponds to a contemporary annual greenhouse gas emission of 1.91 (0.31–3.38) Gt CO2-eq. that could be saved with peatland restoration. Soil carbon sequestration on all agricultural land has comparable Mitigation potential. However, additional nitrogen is needed to build up a similar carbon pool in organic matter of mineral soils, equivalent to 30–80% of the global fertilizer nitrogen application annually. Restoring peatlands is 3.4 times less nitrogen costly and involves a much smaller land area demand than mineral soil carbon sequestration, calling for a stronger consideration of peatland rehabilitation as a Mitigation Measure.

  • low carbon Measures for cement plant a review
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015
    Co-Authors: Siti Aktar Ishak, Haslenda Hashim
    Abstract:

    Cement manufacturing is an energy and carbon-intensive industry. The cement industry contributes approximately 5% of the global man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and is thus becoming the second largest CO2 contributor in industry after power plants. A wide range of options are available to considerably reduce CO2 emissions. This paper reviewed major point sources of CO2 emissions at all stages of cement manufacturing, including (1) raw material preparation (grinding and transportation), (2) clinker production and the combustion of fuels in the kiln and (3) the production of cement final product (milling, blending, mixing, packaging and transportation. Various CO2 Mitigation strategies are subsequently discussed, including (1) energy efficiency improvements; (2) waste heat recovery; (3) the substitution of fossil fuel with renewable energy; (4) the production of low carbon cement by replacing ordinary Portland cement with alternative materials, i.e., geo-polymers, blast furnace slag, coal fly ash, and natural pozzolanic materials; and (5) carbon capture and storage. Although reviewed CO2 Mitigation Measures are indeed beneficial to the environment, however, they are also bounded by some limitations. The limitations and selection of CO2 Mitigation Measure are also outlined in this paper.
