1. Effective soil organic carbon monitoring in perennial agriculture systems - Sampling protocol development and evaluation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Perennial agriculture systems are gaining ground as a more sustainable alternative to conventional annual agriculture, partly for their potential to increase the soil organic carbon (SOC) content. Carbon farming is another hot topic for SOC sequestration, as it creates economic incentives for farmers. READ MORE

5. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikAbstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.
