1. Seagrasses and Eutrophication : Interactions between seagrass photosynthesis, epiphytes, macroalgae and mussels
Abstract : Seagrass meadows are highly productive, ecologically and economically valuable ecosystems. However, increased human activities along the coastal areas leading to processes such as eutrophication have resulted in the rapid loss and deterioration of seagrass ecosystems worldwide. READ MORE

2. Nutrient Recovery as an Added Benefit to Harvests of Photosynthetic Marine Biomass : A Holistic Systems Perspective on Harvesting Marine Microalgae, Cyanobacteria, and Macroalgae
Abstract : As a result of increasing environmental burdens from anthropogenic activities andresource scarcity, interest for the development of solutions utilizing photosyntheticmarine biomass has also been increasing in both academia and industries. Medium tolarge scale production and harvest of photosynthetic marine biomass have beenpracticed to achieve numerous services, including improving tourism industries,production of biofuels, and production of food/feed.

3. Developmental patterns in the Nostoc-Gunnera symbiosis
Abstract : Gunneraceae is an angiosperm family comprising about 60 species scattered in the southern hemisphere. All members of the family develop a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with intracellularly located Nostoc. The aim of the present study was to characterize the symbiosis, structurally and physiologically, with emphasis on G. magellanica and G. READ MORE

4. Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Mycelial Dynamics and its Role in Forest Soil Carbon Cycling
Abstract : Most boreal tree species rely on root-associated ectomycorrhizal fungi for nutrient acquisition, in exchange the trees allocate part of their photosynthetically fixed carbon (C) to these fungi. This has a feedback on soil C dynamics as mycorrhizal fungi are important in regulating soil C cycling and storage. READ MORE
