We do thank all the reviewers for their efforts which are so crucial for the improvement of the now-published papers. In the field of cultural heritage, biodiversity and biodeterioration have received a great deal of research attention in recent years. This book intends to provide a comprehensive examination of the science of biology in various fields and areas, as well as its practical application for the preservation of cultural heritage. Full research articles and reviews on all aspects of biological causes, modes of action, biocidal treatments, and the protection of cultural heritage are here presented, as well as long-term studies on the biodeterioration of cultural heritage sites and monuments.Analyses and tests of macro- and micro-organisms affecting the preservation of cultural heritage are also addressed.The knowledge that has arisen from the papers published on the studies on new techniques and new products applied to the field of cultural heritage may now be translated into new conservation and restoration treatments in similar objects, sites and supports. This was the main goal and it was achieved in a mission that we carried out with great pleasure and dedication.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscBiochemistrybicssccultural heritagebiodeteriorationbiodiversity of microorganismsstone surfaceshistorical sandstonenext-generation sequencingmetalconservationcleaninghydrogelsorganogelsbio-solventsbiofilmmicrobial communityalgaecyanobacteriafungibacterianext generation sequencinggraniteTrentepohliadeteriorative actionenzymatic activityNanhai No. 1 shipwreckcinnamaldehydeantimicrobial activitybiodegradationbuilt cultural heritagecityscapelaboratory and field analysismaintenance planmortarParietaria judaicaschisturban areaweed controlbiocleaningbioconsolidationbiocalcificationbiopolymerscarbonatogenic bacteriaMICPmicroorganismsstone restorationmarble decaydark discolorationstone microbiotablack fungicultural heritage conservationmultifunctional coatingstone biodeteriorationbiofilmsbiocidezosteric sodium salt2-mercaptobenzothiazolesilica nanosystemsphellembirch barkdecaylight microscopytransmission electron microscopyarchaeologyice patchwaterloggedstained glassglazed tilesbiodiversitylaboratory experimentsResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesBiochemistryMacedo Maria Filomenaedt1314118Portugal António Manuel Santos CarriçoedtMiller AnaedtPinheiro Ana CatarinaedtMacedo Maria FilomenaothPortugal António Manuel Santos CarriçoothMiller AnaothPinheiro Ana CatarinaothBOOK9910566482403321Application of Biology to Cultural Heritage3031728UNINA
