“…Correlation between areal productivity of microalgal pilot plants and annual irradiance (sunlight photoautotrophic cultivation). Data on productivity regard 18 pilot cultivation systems documented in the literature (Amorim et al, 2021;Avila et al, 2022;Barreiro-Vescovo et al, 2020;Barros et al, 2019;Cavieres et al, 2021;Haines et al, 2022;Han et al, 2020;Iamtham and Sornchai, 2022;Long et al, 2022;Masojídek et al, 2022;Mohan et al, 2021;Montalvo et al, 2019;Morillas-España et al, 2021;Plouviez et al, 2019;Rentería-Mexía et al, 2022;Sánchez Zurano et al, 2020;Sung et al, 2021;Villaró et al, 2022). When seasonal data were available, the productivity value was calculated as annual average.…”
