“…Focusing on the drivers of employment in the forestry sector in the Czech Republic, there is a positive relationship between employment and wages/ salaries, and a negative relationship between GDP and forest land. Social indicator (employment) as a dependent variable was used in many studies, such as Parisi and Ronzon (2016), Lier et al (2018), Berkel and Delahaye (2019), Bracco et al (2019), Kardung et al (2019), Capasso and Kiltkou (2020), Alviar et al (2021), andRonzon et al (2022). For example, Ronzon et al (2022) concluded that modernisation, innovation, and employment reallocation are factors influencing changes in the development of bioeconomy employment.…”

Some Northern and Western EU Member States are working on bioeconomy transformation through modernisation and structural changes in the national economies (Ronzon et al 2021).…”

Climate change, biodiversity loss, and the increased occurrence of extreme weather events bring new challenges at a global level, not just in forestry. In response to the current situation, modified economic models such as circular economy, green economy, bio-based economy, or bioeconomy, are expected to move society towards a more sustainable future. The main aim of this paper was to evaluate forestry employment and its drivers within the bioeconomy labour market in the Czech Republic. The partial target was to provide a general view of the development of forestry employment within the bioeconomy labour market. The authors applied a mixed methods approach, using literature review, data analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. A decreasing trend of the share of forestry employment in total bioeconomy employment and of the share of bioeconomy employment in the labour market in the Czech Republic was identified. Regarding the drivers of the forestry labour market, based on the results, employment in the forestry sector is positively dependent on wages/salaries and negatively dependent on GDP and forest land.

“…Thus, the concept of the bioeconomy could be found in various policies related to agriculture and forestry sectors (e.g., the Common Agricultural Policy, Forest and Biodiversity Strategy, Farm to Fork Strategy) [45] and in the circular economy directives on waste management directives [46,47]. Furthermore, due to its broad and wide sectoral coverage, the European Bioeconomy Strat-egy is also crucial for the implementation and achievement of the Green Deal objectives [11]. The EU's Green Deal aims for the EU to become the world's first "climate-neutral bloc" by 2050, seeking to be environmentally friendly in different sectors such as energy, food, construction, and transport.…”

“…This Strategy focuses on all activities related to the extraction, production and consumption of biological resources as well as the processes used and the principles applied to provide the main goods and services in each country across all economic sectors [7,8]. It should be noted that the EU Bioeconomy Strategy was renewed in 2018, highlighting the concepts Sustainability 2023, 15, 7139 2 of 14 of a sustainable, circular, and climate-friendly economy as key aspects of environmental policy [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Therefore, the successful implementation of the Bioeconomy Strategy and the pursuit of sustainable biomass management could simultaneously mitigate the climate change problem and contribute to achieving sustainability targets.…”

The Green Deal is an ambitious European development strategy that aims to create a carbon-neutral and environmentally friendly economy. This strategy encompasses key environmental policies such as climate change, circular economy, and sustainable development. Due to its broad and comprehensive definition and sectoral coverage, the European Union’s Bioeconomy Strategy, which is linked to the supply and demand of natural resources, is also crucial to the implementation of the Green Deal. However, there has been very little evaluation of the role of bioeconomy development in the European Green Deal. Therefore, by comparing the documents of these policies, the aim of this paper is to identify the main roles of the bioeconomy in the European Green Deal and overlaps, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of the implementation of these policies. The bioeconomy goals overlap with the European Green Deal targets. Looking at the eight main goals of the European Green Deal, all of them are related to the implementation of the bioeconomy. Preserving biodiversity and Farm to Fork actions are directly linked to the development of the bioeconomy, while the residual actions are partly linked to this development. In order to implement the Bioeconomy Strategy and the European Green Deal policy, it is essential to evaluate the vulnerability of biomass to the effects of climate change and the growing food crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. Furthermore, the sustainable use of biomass and the promotion of biomass consumption in the energy, building, and transport sectors need to be examined.

“…Recently, it was reported that, in addition to B. subtilis, the group also comprised other species, including B. amyloliquefaciens, B. atrophaeus, B. mojavensis, B. paralicheniformis, B. tequilensis, B. vallismortis, and others [16]. The application of the Bs group aligns with the theme of green and sustainable development, as well as the active measures regarding the low-carbon economy and sustainability taken by the European Union [17]. Members of the Bs group, such as B. amyloliquefaciens and B. licheniformis, are extensively involved in the production of enzymes, vitamins, antibiotics, amino acids and their derivatives, pharmaceuticals, or nutraceuticals [18,19] and play a vital role in production.…”

The Bacillus subtilis group (Bs group), with Bacillus subtilis as its core species, holds significant research and economic value in various fields, including science, industrial production, food, and pharmaceuticals. However, most studies have been confined to comparative genomics analyses and exploration within individual genomes at the level of species, with few conducted within groups across different species. This study focused on Bacillus subtilis, the model of Gram-positive bacteria, and 14 other species with significant research value, employing comparative pangenomics as well as population enrichment analysis to ascertain the functional enrichment and diversity. Through the quantification of pangenome openness, this work revealed the underlying biological drivers and significant correlation between pangenome openness and various factors, including the distribution of toxin–antitoxin- and integrase-related genes, as well as the number of endonucleases, recombinases, repair system-related genes, prophages, integrases, and transfer mobile elements. Furthermore, the functional enrichment results indicated the potential for secondary metabolite, probiotic, and antibiotic exploration in Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus paralicheniformis, and Bacillus spizizenii, respectively. In general, this work systematically exposed the quantification of pangenome openness, biological drivers, the pivotal role of genomic instability factors, and mobile elements, providing targeted exploration guidance for the Bs group.
