“…Considering the negative effect of road traffic upon fauna in general (e. g. Baxter-Gilbert et al 2015;Garrah et al 2015;Ciolan et al 2017;Keilsohn et al 2018) and the biodiversity of IGNP (e. g. Rozylowicz et al 2019), we presumed that the rich diversity of habitats and species in the region would be reflected in patterns of road mortality. The climatic peculiarities of the region (e. g. Stoenescu et al 1966;Mândruț 2006), and the warmer and drier weather conditions in south-western Romania over the last few years (e. g. Croitoru & Piticar 2013;Prăvălie 2014;Pravalie et al 2014;Trif & Oprea 2015) led us to suppose that this climate pattern would result in seasonal changes in road-mortality rates, which presumably would be different from the pattern observed in other areas of Romania (e. g. Ciolan et al 2017;Covaciu-Marcov et al 2017;Popovici et al 2018) or elsewhere in the temperate zone (e. g. Orłowski 2007;Gryz & Krauze 2008;Mollov et al 2013;Garriga et al 2017). In order to verify these assumptions, we set the following objectives: 1.…”

Road mortality is one of the most obvious forms of anthropic impact upon fauna. The Iron Gates Natural Park is an area of great biodiversity, crossed by a 154 km long road running parallel to the Danube River. To estimate the impact of this road upon the fauna, between March 2019 and February 2020 we monitored road mortality on a monthly basis. We recorded 13,230 road-killed animals, belonging to 71 taxa. The greatest proportion of taxa was killed in early summer and the number of individuals killed peaked in autumn. A spring mortality peak was not observed. Cold-blooded animals were killed year-round, even though they should not have been active in winter in Romania. This is a consequence of the warmer climate of the region compared to the rest of Romania, but also the mild winter of 2019 / 2020. Mitigation measures such as stopping the construction of new roads would prevent the problem of animal road deaths being replicated in other areas. In addition to the ecological, zoogeographical and conservation value of its findings, our study also warns of a cause-effect link between global warming and an increase in road mortality.

Since the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen increasing disruption in several economic sectors, especially the energy sector. This has forced decision-makers in the energy sector to reconsider how should the sector operate. With stumbling crude oil prices, it is evident that there is a need for a radical change in the way energy resources are utilized. This is where renewable energy supply chains such as biomass supply chains can play an important role. Biomass supply chains have been identified as a potential answer to the current issues faced by the energy sector that is still heavily reliant on fossil fuel. As such, this paper aims to examine the current challenges faced by biomass supply chains. Alongside this, potential opportunities that may arise for biomass supply chains in a post-COVID-19 world are also discussed with a specific focus on how the resiliency of biomass supply chains in six areas (i.e., supply availability, digitalization and automation, collaboration within the supply chain, community-focused energy production, social challenges and opportunities, and policy) can be improved in the post-pandemic scenario.
