Arable soil nitrogen dynamics reflect organic inputs via the extended composite phenotype (2022)
Journal Article
Achieving food security requires resilient agricultural systems with improved nutrient-use efficiency, optimized water and nutrient storage in soils, and reduced gaseous emissions. Success relies on understanding coupled nitrogen and carbon metabolis... Read More about Arable soil nitrogen dynamics reflect organic inputs via the extended composite phenotype.
Space farming: Horticulture systems on spacecraft and outlook to planetary space exploration (2022)
Journal Article
Successful human space exploration requires more products than can be taken as payload. There is a need, therefore, for in-space circular manufacturing. Requirements for this include limited resource inflow, from either Earth or other planets and the...

Low atmospheric CO2 levels before the rise of forested ecosystems (2022)
Journal Article
The emergence of forests on Earth (~385 million years ago, Ma)1 has been linked to an order-of-magnitude decline in atmospheric CO2 levels and global climatic cooling by altering continental weathering processes, but observational constraints on atmo...

Crop improvements for future‐proofing European food systems: A focus‐group‐driven analysis of agricultural production stakeholder priorities and viewpoints (2022)
Journal Article
Crop breeding is one of the main tools which can assist in future-proofing food systems for more sustainable outcomes. In order to ensure priorities are aligned with the needs and wants of food system actors, it is essential to engage with key stakeh...

No evidence for persistent natural plague reservoirs in historical and modern Europe (2022)
Journal Article
Caused by Yersinia pestis, plague ravaged the world through three known pandemics: the First or the Justinianic (6th–8th century); the Second (beginning with the Black Death during c.1338–1353 and lasting until the 19th century); and the Third (which...

Anemia in children aged 6–59 months was significantly associated with maternal anemia status in rural Zimbabwe (2022)
Journal Article
Globally, anemia is a public health problem affecting mostly women of reproductive age (WRA, n=452) and children aged 6–59 months (n=452) from low- and lower-middle-income countries. This cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence and determinants... Read More about Anemia in children aged 6–59 months was significantly associated with maternal anemia status in rural Zimbabwe.
Optimising the Scanning Process: Demystifying the Dark Art of Optimising Microtomography Scan Settings (2022)
Book Chapter
X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT) is now becoming an accessible technology to quantify soil structure metrics. However, optimising images from X-ray CT systems remains a challenging task. Understanding the influence of the wide range of settings t... Read More about Optimising the Scanning Process: Demystifying the Dark Art of Optimising Microtomography Scan Settings.

Tropical peatlands in the Anthropocene: The present and the future (2022)
Journal Article
Tropical peatlands are a globally important carbon store. They host significant biodiversity and provide a range of other important ecosystem services, including food and medicines for local communities. Tropical peatlands are increasingly modified b...
