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...

Hydraulic flux–responsive hormone redistribution determines root branching (2022)
Journal Article

Plant roots exhibit plasticity in their branching patterns to forage efficiently for heterogeneously distributed resources, such as soil water. The xerobranching response represses lateral root formation when roots lose contact with water. Here, we s...

Agronomic biofortification increases grain zinc concentration of maize grown under contrasting soil types in Malawi (2022)
Journal Article

Zinc (Zn) deficiency remains a public health problem in Malawi, especially among poor and marginalized rural populations, linked with low dietary intake of Zn due to consumption of staple foods that are low in Zn content. The concentration of Zn in s... Read More about Agronomic biofortification increases grain zinc concentration of maize grown under contrasting soil types in Malawi.

Hydroclimatic vulnerability of peat carbon in the central Congo Basin. (2022)
Journal Article

The forested swamps of the central Congo Basin store approximately 30 billion metric tonnes of carbon in peat . Little is known about the vulnerability of these carbon stocks. Here we investigate this vulnerability using peat cores from a large inter... Read More about Hydroclimatic vulnerability of peat carbon in the central Congo Basin..

A Comparison of the Differences in Soil Structure under Long-Term Conservation Agriculture Relative to a Secondary Forest (2022)
Journal Article

Conservation agriculture is increasingly preferred to conventional methods due to its benefits in promoting more sustainable soil management. Our study aims to compare physical and morphological properties, at the microscale, of soils under long-term...

Eutrophication has a greater influence on floodplain lake carbon cycling than dam installation across the middle Yangtze region (2022)
Journal Article

Carbon cycling in shallow floodplain lakes is complex due to variability in delivery of flood-derived allochthonous organic matter (OM). Human activities have potential to significantly modify the carbon balance of lakes by damming which restricts ex...
