معرفی
Madeleine Olofsson is a Senior Lecturer and Head of Department at the Department of Natural Sciences, Design and Sustainable Development (NDH), Mid Sweden University. Her research focuses on environmental chemistry, soil science, and sustainable development, with a particular emphasis on microbial activity in forest soils and the valorization of industrial byproducts like biofuel ash and forest residues.
- Doctoral Thesis: Chemical parameters reflecting microbial activity linked to nutrient availability in forest soil (2015)
Her work spans diverse areas, including:
- Fungal biology and ectomycorrhizal interactions in boreal forests
- Analytical chemistry techniques (e.g., mass spectrometry, chromatography) for soil analysis
- Conversion of forest residues into food, feed, and biofuels (Foodtech project)
- Green chemical production from forest resources (GrönaPro)
- Sustainability initiatives in university operations (HIMUV project)
- Environmental impacts of biofuel ash amendments
Key trends in her publications include:
- Developing quantitative methods for fungal biomass estimation
- Investigating nutrient cycling and microbial dynamics in forest soils
- Exploring sustainable applications of industrial residues
- Advancing metabolomic studies of ectomycorrhizal fungi
- Promoting sustainable practices within higher education institutions
- Assessing heavy metal mobility in forest ecosystems
