Criteria and Indicators for Assesing the Sustainability of Forest Management: Conservation of Biodiversity.
The need for new criteria and indicators for the assessment of biodiversity conservation as part of sustainable forest management of tropical forests has been identified as a priority by many international organisations. Those biodiversity criteria and indicators which formed part of a much broader...

Coal Versus Biomass Electricity Generation - Comparing Environmental Implications Using Life Cycle Assessment
A life cycle assessment (LCA) on coal-fired power systems has been conducted to assess the environmental effects on a cradle-to-grave basis. Three different designs were studied: (1) a plant that represents the average emissions from coal-fired power plants in the U.S. today, (2) a plant that meets...
