Optimizing cost-effective and benchmarked industry standards to quantify nutrient bioextraction by seaweed DE-AR0001169

Summary

The challenge addressed is the difficulty in economically valuing the ecosystem service of nutrient bioextraction by seaweed farms due to a lack of reproducible and comparable quantification methods. The approach involved controlled laboratory experiments with sugar kelp to quantify nitrogen uptake rates, leading to recommended industry standards for analyzing algal biomass nitrogen content. The project is completed, and it has delivered new methods and evidence for cost-effective eutrophication mitigation.
