Trade has long been considered a potent pathway throughout the global spread of alien species, while related links between them remain poorly tested at a global scale. We therefore took sweet cherry, an emerging commercial fresh fruit, as a case study to explore the international trade patterns and its impact on global pest transfer. We used data on annual bilateral trade volume between countries from 1961 to 2016 (from FAOSTAT) and the current occurrence of sweet cherry pests per country (from CABI). The international sweet cherry trade was highly concentrated, especially in Europe with obvious intracontinental self-selling. Cluster analysis and nonmetric multidimensional scaling divided the 66 producing countries into five groupings on pest compositional similarities, for which both the short geographical distance and trade pattern above-mentioned might be responsible. Meanwhile, the country-level pest species richness increased linearly with the log of production and proportionally over-represented in specific countries with large import volumes. Overall, ongoing regional and global cooperation for most trading countries should be promoted to improve international regulations, and to maximize the benefits of pest records in terms of facilitating trade and reducing invasion risks of alien species. This is particularly essential for China, who has already granted sweet cherry market permits to 10 main producing countries. Of those, all but three were in the same grouping as China which poses the greatest risk for pest introduction and establishment.

The testing production of equipment that allows making biogas is based on standard techniques and methods for implementing the principle of biogas production. The main differentiation between samples of equipment is to sell products on the market as quickly as possible and with a large number of products. However, the basic methods, forms and methods of biogas production using modern equipment require the development and improvement. The relevance of the work is in the fact that there is a need to improve equipment for biogas production under standard technical production conditions. The novelty of the research is that an improved model of work and the production of biogas using the methods of fermentation in biogas plants based on the work of microorganisms with the release of methane has been proposed. A model for applying the results obtained in standard technical conditions was considered and ways for improving methods of producing biogas under conditions of resource shortages were established. The practical application of the research results is determined by the fact that increasing the level of productivity of biogas plants will help to develop an understanding of the need for eco-friendly fuels on the world market.
