| Description | I am studying principally how soil bacteria react after application of the three fractions of digestate, how they can assimilate the C added and the GHGs emitted through their respiration (and also through simple geochemical cycles in soil). the three factions behave differently based on the soil nutrients status (e.g. fertile vs non fertile soil) and the C:N ratio applied with digestate has a major role in that, leading to an increase or a decrease of the environmental impact after their application |
| Exploitation Route | i think my outcomes are very important, especially if shared with farmers that are still over applying digestate. Understanding the environmental impact and how they should apply it will improve the agricultural situation and bring new knowledge to farmers |
| Sectors | Agriculture Food and Drink Communities and Social Services/Policy Environment |
| Description | I have a CASE partner and he is using my outcomes to improve his agricultural practices. Plus I am collaborating with the Lancaster city council in order to take real measurements to reduce the environmental impact around the area |
