Linking microbiology and performance of slow sand filters for wastewater treatment
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-08)Slow Sand Filtration (SSF) is biologically mediated method of water treatment dependent upon the natural development of a complex microbial community within the filter-bed. Due to increasing water scarcity worldwide, the ... -
Linking soil pH and phosphorus management to potential N2O emissions and nitrogen cycling microbial communities
(NUI Galway, 2022-08-15)Greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere create the greenhouse gas effect, which allows maintenance of global temperatures. However, anthropogenic production of GHGs has caused dramatic increases of GHGs in the ... -
