Malta – Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) – Quotation for the Supply and Delivery of a Respirometric measuring system for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), soil respiration, biogas determination, and biodegradation tests for the University of Malta in Relation to the Project RECLAIM (REstoration and Conservation through the Limitation of Alien and Invasive Menace) - CUP: G13C25000260006

For the RECLAIM project, a respirometric measuring system is required to quantitatively assess microbial activity and organic matter degradation in soils and sediments affected by invasive alien species and restoration actions. The system enables reliable measurement of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), soil respiration, biogas production, and biodegradation rates, providing direct indicators of ecosystem functioning, soil health, and restoration effectiveness. These data are essential for comparing impacted and restored sites and for evaluating the success and sustainability of RECLAIM’s management interventions.
