Effects of cleaning methods upon preservation of stable isotopes and trace elements in shells of Cyprideis torosa (Crustacea, Ostracoda): implications for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Quaternary Science Reviews, 189, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.03.030

The trace element (Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca) and stable isotope (δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C) geochemistry of fossil ostracod valves provide valuable information, particularly in lacustrine settings, on palaeo-water composition and palaeotemperature. The removal of sedimen...

Root traits such as root angle and hair length influence resource acquisition particularly for immobile nutrients like phosphorus (P). Here, we attempted to modify root angle in rice by disrupting the OsAUX1 auxin influx transporter gene in an effort...

Plant responses to simulated carbon capture and transport leakage: the effect of impurities in the CO2 gas stream (2018)
Journal Article

To deliver an effective transition from a carbon-based 24 to a carbon-free energy market, bridging technologies are required. One such possibility is the use of carbon capture and storage, (CCS). However, before such innovations can be rolled out a k... Read More about Plant responses to simulated carbon capture and transport leakage: the effect of impurities in the CO2 gas stream.

TopCap: a tool to quantify soil surface topology and subsurface structure (2018)
Journal Article

The surface of a material such as soil, as characterised by its topology and roughness, typically has a profound effect on its functional behaviour. Whilst non-destructive imaging techniques such as X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) have been extensivel... Read More about TopCap: a tool to quantify soil surface topology and subsurface structure.

Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies (2018)
Preprint / Working Paper
Retkute, R., Townsend, A. J., Murchie, E. H., Jensen, O. E., & Preston, S. P. Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies

Background and Aims Diurnal changes in solar position and intensity combined with the structural complexity of plant architecture result in highly variable and dynamic light patterns within the plant canopy. This affects productivity through the comp... Read More about Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies.

There is a continued need to monitor the environmental impacts of agricultural systems while also ensuring sufficient agricultural production. However, it can be difficult to collect relevant environmental data on a large enough number of farms and s...

Nutrient limitation or home field advantage: does microbial community adaptation overcome nutrient limitation of litter decomposition in a tropical peatland? (2018)
Journal Article

Litter decomposition is an important control on carbon accumulation in tropical peatlands. Stoichiometric theory suggests that decomposition is regulated by elemental ratios in litter while the home field advantage (HFA) hypothesis predicts that deco...
