Various research has been
conducted at the Macoskey Center, concentrating on four main
categories.
1.
Philosophy
-
ecospirituality -
permaculture -sustainable
development -biospheric cycles
2.
Ecology
- water
system - waste water
cleaning -effects of UV-C on cell division
and elongation - composting process (C:N
ratio) - plant soil relations
3.
Biology
- biotests and biological
properties of root exudates - leaves as
sources of botanical herbicides
-
chemotaxonomy - sanitary properties of
plants - micro-bac evaluation of air, water
and soil
4.
Biochemistry
- phenolics in the
plants - phenolics in the
soil - methods of phenolics
identification
