Background and aims
Mangrove species respond to variation in soil bulk density (BD). However, very little is known about the regulatory mechanisms that trigger these responses.

Journal Article
Yu, C., Mawodza, T., Atkinson, B. S., Atkinson, J. A., Sturrock, C. J., Whalley, R., Hawkesford, M. J., Cooper, H., Zhang, X., Zhou, H., & Mooney, S. J. (2024).

Soil structure is a crucial soil physical property that determines a soil's ability to support the growth and development of plants. Soil compaction modifies soil structure by reducing pore space between soil particles thereby leading to a denser soi...

A comparison of characterisation and modelling approaches to predict dissolved metal concentrations in soils (2023)
Journal Article
Garforth, J. M., Tye, A. M., Young, S. D., Bailey, E. H., & Lofts, S. (2024). A comparison of characterisation and modelling approaches to predict dissolved metal concentrations in soils. Environmental Chemistry, 21, Article EN23075. https://doi.org/10.1071/en23075

Environmental context

It is useful to know the concentration of ‘labile’, or chemically active, metal in soils because it can be used to predict metal solubility and environmental impact. Several methods for extracting the labile metal from soils... Read More about A comparison of characterisation and modelling approaches to predict dissolved metal concentrations in soils.
