Hybrid vehicles represent the most suitable option for addressing these issues in the medium term, since hybridization allows us to overcome the major disadvantages of ICEs, electric units, and energy storage devices and merge their respective benefits. In this scenario, ICEs will remain the core component of automotive propulsion systems in the years to come. Of course, further efforts to improve the efficiency and reduce the pollutant and CO 2 emissions of ICEs are necessary.Spark ignition enginesAutomobilesEnvironmental aspectsHybridizationSpark ignition engines.AutomobilesEnvironmental aspects.Hybridization.621.434Bozza FabioDe Bellis Vincenzo1977-Malfi EnricaNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910719766603321Advances in Spark-Ignition Engines3361885UNINA05789oam 2200685I 450 991078757640332120170816145301.00-429-07349-61-4665-9931-610.1201/b15502 (CKB)2670000000394745(EBL)1375602(SSID)ssj0000890308(PQKBManifestationID)11932424(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000890308(PQKBWorkID)10887035(PQKB)10441491(OCoLC)861536558(MiAaPQ)EBC1375602(OCoLC)858824847(CaSebORM)9781466599314(EXLCZ)99267000000039474520180331d2014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSoil biota and ecosystem development in post mining sites /editor, Jan Frouz1st editionBoca Raton :Taylor & Francis,[2014]1 online resource (315 p.)A CRC title, part of the Taylor & Francis imprint, a member of the Taylor & Francis Group, the academic division of T&F Informa plc.1-4665-9933-2 Includes bibliographical references.Geological Substrates and Heaping Process of Coal Mining Operations in the Sokolov Basin, Czech Republic : Implications for Reclamation and Soil Development / Petr Rojík -- Humus Accumulation and Humification during Soil Development in Post-Mining Soil / Evgenij Abakumov and Jan Frouz -- Vegetation Development in Central European Coal Mining Sites / Karel Prach -- Biological Soil Crusts in Post-Mining Areas / Alena Lukešová, Martina Zahradníková and Jan Frouz -- Soil Properties and Development of Humus Forms in Pine and Oak Stands of Reclaimed Post-mining Sites in Lusatia : Influence of Lignite from Overburden Sediments and Dust Immissions / Oliver Bens and Reinhard F.

In many cases, however, mineral extraction causes severe destruction of the environment. Large areas can be literally erased by excavation and dumping of overburden. In addition, mining and postprocessing of raw materials may accelerate weathering processes and chemically alter the environment through, for example, acidification or pollution by heavy metals. Environmental damage brings the necessity for ecosystem reconstruction in affected areas. Numerous approaches to land reclamation have been developed. Natural processes collectively referred to as ecological succession, however, bring about gradual ecosystem development without the assistance of man. These processes may be relatively slow, particularly in their early stages, but there are many examples of how they have led to the development of functional ecosystems in the long-term, typically after several decades. In this book, we pay attention to the study of these successional processes. Firstly, only comparisons between the results of reclamation technologies and those of natural succession at unreclaimed sites of the same age can provide us with real information about the added value of reclamation. Secondly, a better understanding of natural succession processes may inspire numerous future improvements to restoration technologies. Finally, post-mining sites represent an excellent model for studying succession processes and may substantially improve our knowledge about these ecological phenomena--Provided by publisher.Soil ecologyAbandoned mined lands reclamationEcological successionSoil formationSoil restorationBiotic communitiesSoil biologySoil ecology.Abandoned mined lands reclamation.Ecological succession.Soil formation.Soil restoration.Biotic communities.Soil biology.577.5/7Frouz JanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787576403321Soil biota and ecosystem development in post mining sites3805464UNINA
