Harald Cederlund, Researcher at the Department of Molecular Sciences: Researches the use of biochars as cheap adsorbents for reducing leaching of pesticides and nutrients from point sources in agriculture, and studies of how amendments of biochars to agricultural soil affect the environmental fate of pesticides.
Thomas Kätterer, Professor at the Department of Ecology: Researches biochars role in carbon and nitrogen cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, including biochars potential role in agriculture and in climate mitigation through carbon sequestration.
Sara Hallin, Professor at the Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology: Researches the ecology of microbial communities in wetland and other terrestrial ecosystems, investigating biochar's role in carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles as well as taking part in biochar research on contaminated soils.
