Abstract Bioeconomy is proposed as a solution to reduce reliance on fossil resources. However, bioeconomy not always inherently circular and can mimic the conventional take, make, consume, dispose linear economic model. Agricultural systems will be relied provide food, materials, energy, so unless action taken, demand for land inevitably exceed supply. have embrace circularity enable production of renewable feedstocks in terms both biomass yield maintaining essential natural capital. The...
Experiences gained through in person (in-situ) interactions with ecosystems provide cultural ecosystem services. These services are difficult to assess because they non-material, vary spatially and have strong perceptual characteristics. Data obtained from social media can spatially-explicit information regarding some in-situ by serving as a proxy for visitation. data identify environmental characteristics (natural, human built capital) correlated visitation and, therefore, the types of...
Human activity has led to degradation of the natural environment, with far-reaching impacts for society and economy, sparking new conceptual framings how people interact with, depend upon, environment. The bioeconomy capital concepts both blend economics sciences propose interdisciplinary, environmental sustainability framings. Despite this similarity, two are rarely applied together. This paper applies a lens at three different levels: framings; experts’ principles sustainable bioeconomy;...
The bioeconomy concept describes an economic system centred around biological resources, processes, and technologies. lacks a singular definition but has been proposed as bridge that connects stakeholders under shared goal become embedded in governance research systems. This trait leaves vulnerable to being misused applied ambiguously without scrutiny. Broader societal use representation of can be investigated using social media data source due its wide user base ability forge connections...
Ecosystem service (ES) and natural capital (NC) concepts have been promoted as influential tools for environmental management within national public policy. To achieve this potential, these must transition across the science-policy interface become integrated governance systems. This study examines 25-years of ES NC policy at two levels: explicit use terminology, implicit description services. Using case-study Ireland a country with significant bio-based industry dependence on its NC, we ask...
Online monitoring of weld pool and bead geometry has been a daunting challenge because the harsh environment, slow processing speeds difficulty acquiring quality images during welding. The dimensions are most fundamental requirement qualified weld, can be instrumental in ensuring meets these requirements. Additionally, such sensor system one day lead to controlling process parameters provide much needed closed loop control welding process. Recent advantages imaging technology, stereo vision...
Objective Apart from case reports and anecdotes, there are no published studies on the feasibility of using non-medical devices for emergency bystander cricothyroidotomy. This study evaluated ability non-trained junior doctors medical students to place an cricothyroidotomy embalmed cadaver only a blade ballpoint pen. Methods Participants were with prior experience surgical airways second year at end their head neck anatomy course. Nine participants asked in undissected No 26 scalpel...

Humanity has maintained cultural connections with our environments for time immemorial. Plants and artisan crafts are a prime example, as craft purpose, skill, design, species used can vary greatly between communities the loss of critical plant result in access to practices. To mitigate global biodiversity loss, conservationists faced challenge assessing vulnerability extinction prioritizing conservation funding using information instruments, like IUCN red list. This process does not...
Abstract Tourism plays a vital role in both economic development and depending on the scale, it can also aid environmental conservation. planning often considers culture-based nature-based tourism separately, failing to recognize synergies between them, with potential market locations as biocultural destinations. Using Colombia case study, we created metrics of taxonomic biological diversity measured by vertebrate species richness (including birds, mammals, freshwater fishes, reptiles,...

Abstract After a dense stand of conifers encroaching on an oak savanna/meadow was removed, exotic forbs and grasses quickly populated the newly disturbed area. Establishing desirable native that contribute to plant diversity compete with species could aid in restoring this savanna community. Two experiments were conducted over time test different establishment approaches for increasing abundance. The first evaluated effect sown grass graminoid cover composition. second 3 outplanted perennial...
