About the Author | Nils Ekelund is Professor in Plant Physiology since 2002 and at Malmö University since 2012. Nils has research experience in the field of aquatic ecosystems where he has been studying the effects of ultraviolet radiation and environmental effects on both phytoplankton and macroalgae. His research during more recent years has been focused on ecosystem services in peri-urban zones of small rural towns in South Africa. The interest in phytoplankton and the challenge of increasing interest in natural science for people have been the main driving force to write this book for children. |
