How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A Comprehensive Energy and Economic Assessment of Biofuels: When “Green” Is Not Enough (2001, methodology): “The eMergy accounting approach (Odum, 1996; Brown and Ulgiati, 1999) provides a scientific measure of the global environmental support that is needed for a process to be viable and sustainable.”
A multicriteria approach for measuring the sustainability of different poultry production systems (2012, methodology): “An in-depth discussion of the emergy principles and accounting method has been previously published by Odum (1996) and Brown and Herendeen (1996).”
Development of Laminated Bamboo Lumber: Review of Processing, Performance, and Economical Considerations (2011, methodology): “Based on its mechanical and physical properties, bamboo has very high potential to compete with other structural materials.”
Promise and problems of emergy analysis (2004, methodology): “Odum argues that the “ energy flows of the universe are organized in an energy transformation hierarchy” and that “ the position in the energy hierarchy is measured with transformities” (Odum, 1996).”
The prosperous way down (2001, methodology): “Although we cannot predict how societies will react, we can use quantitative resource evaluations [11,12] to characterize what is possible.”
A participatory systems approach to modeling social, economic, and ecological components of bioenergy (2007, methodology): “For an in-depth description of the symbols used, see Odum (1996).”
