Ecology and climate sensitivity of a groundwater-fed lake on subtropical North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), Queensland, Australia over the last 7,500 years (2021)
Journal Article
Maxson, C., Tibby, J., Barr, C., Tyler, J., Leng, M., Lomax, B., …Jacobsen, G. (2022). Ecology and climate sensitivity of a groundwater-fed lake on subtropical North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), Queensland, Australia over the last 7,500 years. Journal of Paleolimnology, 67(1), 75-93. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-021-00222-9

Lake sediments are important archives of past climate variability and lake responses to climate. In order to accurately infer past climates, it is necessary to understand, and account for, the ecological processes that affect the record of indicators...

Temporal changes in litterfall and potential nutrient return in cocoa agroforestry systems under organic and conventional management, Ghana (2021)
Journal Article
Asigbaase, M., Dawoe, E., Lomax, B. H., & Sjogersten, S. (2021). Temporal changes in litterfall and potential nutrient return in cocoa agroforestry systems under organic and conventional management, Ghana. Heliyon, 7(10), Article e08051. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e08051

Litterfall is a critical link between vegetation and soils by which nutrients are returned to the soils, thus the amount and pattern of litterfall regulates nutrient cycling, soil fertility and primary productivity for most terrestrial ecosystems. We... Read More about Temporal changes in litterfall and potential nutrient return in cocoa agroforestry systems under organic and conventional management, Ghana.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as a tracer of organic matter sources in lake sediments (2021)
Journal Article
Maxson, C., Tibby, J., Marshall, J., Kent, M., Tyler, J., Barr, C., …Lomax, B. H. (2021). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as a tracer of organic matter sources in lake sediments. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 581, Article 110622. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2021.110622

The source of sedimentary organic matter in lakes can help to elucidate climate and catchment variation and processes that reflect lake development. Common techniques for tracing sediment organic matter sources, such as the stable isotopes and elemen...
