Abstract:
... Attached microalgae cultivation for biomass/bioenergy production has been proposed these decades to avoid the energy-intensive harvest process. However, the external light could only propagate <200 μm in biofilm, which inhibits the growth of microalgae in deep layer. In this paper, the possibility of using inner light emitted by mix-cultured photobacteria for attached microalgae growth was investi ...

Abstract:
... Since the concept of the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) emerged in global policy discourse, a key point of contention has been the development of market-based instruments to promote the LDN agenda. Much of this discussion has focused on the use of LDN-specific offset mechanisms and private-public partnerships. However, there is also an opportunity to capitalise on the synergies that exist betwe ...
