Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Luca Scarnati"
- Luca Scarnati's recent research focuses on the extraction and characterization of lignin from various tree species in Italy, employing advanced techniques such as HP-SEC, FTIR, Py-GCMS, and 2D HSQC NMR spectroscopy to analyze the properties of acidolysis lignin derived from Turkey Oak and Eucalypt wood.
- His work also includes the genomic assembly of Biscogniauxia mediterranea, a fungus that causes charcoal disease affecting oak trees, highlighting the impact of environmental factors like climate change on tree health and disease progression.
- Overall, Scarnati's studies contribute to the understanding of tree species degradation and the biochemical properties of lignins, with implications for forestry, ecology, and environmental conservation efforts in Italy.
