Key Points

  • The research aims to assess the compressive strength of composites made from mycelium and encroacher bush biomass.
  • Analyzed the compressive strength of mycelium-based composites
  • Utilized biomass sourced from Namibian encroacher bush
  • Employed standard testing methods for material properties
  • Composites demonstrate a viable compressive strength
  • Results indicate potential for sustainable use of biomass
  • Findings suggest improvement in ecological and material innovation

Abstract

Introduction: Namibia faces challenges of bush encroachment, affecting over 45 million hectares of rangeland and reducing biodiversity, grazing capacity, and agricultural productivity. The utilization of encroacher bush biomass is an opportunity for sustainable material innovation.
