Selenium Concentration in Cattle Serum and Fodder from Two Areas in Ethiopia with Contrasting Human Selenium Concentration (2022)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: Selenium (Se) is an essential mineral for livestock health and productivity. In cattle, Se deficiency is associated with delayed conception, growth retardation, and increased morbidity and mortality. METHODS: We conducted a survey of ca...

Climate and human exploitation have regulated Atlantic salmon populations in the River Spey, Scotland, over the last 2000 years (2022)
Journal Article

Historical salmon catch records suggest that climatic variability, and more recently human exploitation, control patterns of abundance in Atlantic salmon populations. We present the first long-term (2000-year) reconstruction of Atlantic Salmon popula...

The deployment of intercropping and agroforestry as adaptation to climate change (2022)
Journal Article

Food security is threatened by the combined pressures of increasing populations and climate change. Agricultural land is vulnerable to overexploitation and environmental change. Within this review, we identify the role of multiple cropping systems as... Read More about The deployment of intercropping and agroforestry as adaptation to climate change.

Folate Deficiency Is Spatially Dependent and Associated with Local Farming Systems among Women in Ethiopia (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Folate is essential for the synthesis and integrity of DNA, normal cell formation, and body growth. Folate deficiency among women of reproductive age (WRA) increases the risk of poor birth outcomes including neural tube defect (NTD)-affec...

Micromilling vs hand drilling in stable isotope analyses of incremental carbonates: The potential for δ 13C contamination by embedding resin (2022)
Journal Article

Rationale: Embedding resins are commonly used to facilitate high-resolution sampling for stable isotope analysis but anomalous δ13C values have been observed in some cases. Here we compare the results of microsampling strategies for hand-drilled vers...

Sunflecks in the upper canopy: dynamics of light-use efficiency in sun and shade leaves of Fagus sylvatica (2022)
Journal Article

Sunflecks are transient patches of direct radiation that provide a substantial proportion of the daily irradiance to leaves in the lower canopy. In this position, faster photosynthetic induction would allow for higher sunfleck-use efficiency, as is c...

Soil and landscape factors influence geospatial variation in maize grain zinc concentration in Malawi (2022)
Journal Article

Dietary zinc (Zn) deficiency is widespread globally, and in particular among people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In Malawi, dietary sources of Zn are dominated by maize and spatially dependent variation in grain Zn concentration, which will affect di...

Planet Patrolling: A citizen science brand audit of anthropogenic litter in the context of national legislation and international policy (2022)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic Litter (AL) is ubiquitous in distribution and diverse in type and impact. Citizen science AL clean-ups engage citizens with the environment and have the potential to generate data that can inform policy. Here we present a detailed citiz...

Zero tillage has important consequences for soil pore architecture and hydraulic transport: A review (2022)
Journal Article

Following the adoption of zero-tillage (ZT) from conventional tillage (CT), the soil pore network undergoes immediate and significant changes. As soil remains undisturbed for an extended period, a soil structure emerges that is primarily generated an...
