About the Author

Written by Serge, MSc, a plant biologist and environmental scientist. I have field research experience in forest ecosystems and soil processes, along with postgraduate training in plant biochemistry, ecotoxicology and atmosphere-biosphere science. I write from real work in the field and the laboratory, and I check the science against reliable sources before I put it in front of you.
