The study presented in this thesis form a relationship between soil chemical properties throughout the years within Giant Miscanthus soil. Miscanthus is a perennial‚ rhizomatous‚ giant grass that was originated from East Asia and now distributed worldwide. This subtropical plant has C4 photosynthetic pathway and can be grown in warm seasonal weather. These perennial rhizomatous grasses are promising energy crops due to their high productivity‚ low nutrient requirements‚ ecosystem services and great

biologically based devices that will help solve a range of different global challenges. These devices are made from harmless cells‚ such as yeast cells. Manmade yeast genes could then be used to create vaccines or even turn agricultural waste into biofuel. Imperial has received £2million to establish a ‘DNA Synthesis and Construction Foundry’. Building interchangeable bits of DNA‚ the building blocks of synthetic biology‚ is time consuming and expensive. It is hoped that the new Foundry will establish
