The catch? The fate of the world rests on his ability to resist the charms of Lilia, the daughter of a powerful demon king. The story follows a young man who finds himself in a precarious situation when he is tasked with preventing the world’s destruction. Phycology 2022, 2(3), 297-318 Ĭircular economy fertilization: Testing micro and macro algal species as soil improvers and nutrient sources for crop production in greenhouse and field conditions.Get ready manga fans, because the highly-anticipated new series “Lilia Pregnant the World End” is about to take the world by storm! Created by the talented Shinta Sakayama, this thrilling love comedy promises to be the next big hit on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry manga website. Emanga Alobwede, Anne Cotton, Jonathan R. The Fate and Distribution of Microalgal Nitrogen When Applied as an Agricultural Soil Fertiliser and Its Effect on Soil Microbial Communities. You can find Dr Emanga Alobwede on Twitter Research groupsĮmanga is part of the Algal Biotechnology Sheffield Network. Emanga and the Grantham Scholars review the controversial but widely cited paper A Safe Operating Space For Humanity. Review: A Safe Operating Space For Humanity by Emanga Alobwede. Building UK’s Soils featured experts from the Soil Association. In 2015, Emanga Alobwede and Angesh Anupam organised an event about soil at the Grantham Centre. Soil Association comes to Grantham Centre: the fight to save soil. Emanga discusses synthetic ecology, which may be a more sustainable way to grow algae for biofuels. Synthetic ecology for algal cultivation by Emanga Alobwede. In this blog, Emanga introduces the benefits to sustainability of using algae as biofertilisers in agriculture. The advantages of algae as biofertilisers in agriculture by Emanga Alobwede. For example, algae could help reduce our reliance on synthetic fertilisers and improve degraded soils. Emanga was on the show to explain how her research into algae has implications for our diet. In 2021, Emanga appeared on the BBC Horizon: Feast to Save the Planet. The episode focused on the environmental impact of food. Outreach Dr Emanga on the BBC’s Horizon: Feast to Save the Planet This project aims to link the recovery of algal biomass from eutrophic water to the restoration of soil organic matter, rebuilding soil aggregates and sustainably recycling nutrients. To date there have been no systematic studies of the properties of algae that optimise these benefits. Benefits include increasing soil nutrient content, structure, aggregate stability and fertility, whilst reducing nutrient-run-off to watercourses compared to direct additions of manures or inorganic fertilizer. Once recovered, the algal biomass has a variety of uses including addition to soils. Recovery of algae from polluted lakes and ponds has the potential to break the eutrophication cycle and the technology to do this efficiently is only now being developed. The increased application of fertiliser further exacerbates the problem of eutrophication and a major concern for future food security is that phosphorus originates from limited rock reserves. Algal blooms cost the UK an estimated £75-114 million per year. Furthermore, loss of soil structure increases risk of flooding and run-off pollution. Run-off pollution leads to nutrient enrichment of aquatic systems and algal blooms. Soil degradation now limits the productivity of elite modern high-yielding varieties of crops like wheat. Intensive agriculture depletes soil organic matter, resulting in loss of soil macro-aggregates and their positive effects on soil water and nutrient holding capacity. And now I am in a position where I communicate scientific research and findings to the appropriate audiences for the purpose of ultimately applying it to decision making.” Emanga’s project at the Grantham Centre This is an important skill that scientists need to possess as we carry out cutting edge research but at times fail to take that out of the laboratory and communicate this effectively to policymakers, practitioners, etc.Īs a Grantham Scholar, I learned how to conduct robust scientific research. Not only was it unique in its interdisciplinary nature, but there was the additional element of fostering our communication and public engagement skills. “Being a Grantham Scholar was a unique (PhD) experience. At the Grantham Centre she researched the recovery of algal biomass and the restoration of soil. Grantham Scholar Dr Emanga Alobwede is now a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Imperial College London.
