A WIDE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF BEEKEEPING SYSTEMS THROUGH LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT: KEY CONTRIBUTING ACTIVITIES AND INFLUENCE OF OPERATION SCALE

A wide environmental analysis of beekeeping systems through life cycle assessment: key contributing activities and influence of operation scale

Agri-food has become an economic sector under increasing pressure in order to support food demand and decrease environmental impacts.One valuable methodology to evaluate environmental impacts is life cycle assessment (LCA), which has been employed in different economic sectors, however, beekeeping Interior has been scarcely explored.In this context

Genome-wide identification of accessible chromatin regions by ATAC-seq upon induction of the transcription factor bZIP11 in Arabidopsis

Abstract Basic leucine zipper 11 (bZIP11) is a transcription factor that is activated under low energy conditions in plants and plays a crucial role in enabling plants to adapt to starvation situations.Although previous results indicate that bZIP11 regulates chromatin accessibility based on evidence obtained from single genomic loci, to what extent

Existence and Uniqueness of Positive Periodic Solutions for a Delayed Predator-Prey Model with Dispersion and Impulses

An impulsive Lotka-Volterra Stovetop Espresso Makers type predator-prey model with prey dispersal in two-patch environments and time delays is investigated, where we assume the model of patches with a barrier only as far as the prey population is concerned, whereas the predator population has no barriers between patches.By applying the continuation
