Journal Article
Evans, C. D., Callaghan, N., Jaya, A., Grinham, A., Sjogersten, S., Page, S. E., Harrison, M., Kusin, K., Kho, L. K., Ledger, M., Evers, S., Mitchell, Z., Williamson, J., Radbourne, A., & Jovani-Sancho, A. J. (2021). A Novel Low-Cost, High-Resolution Camera System for Measuring Peat Subsidence and Water Table Dynamics. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 9, Article 630752. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2021.630752

Peatlands are highly dynamic systems, able to accumulate carbon over millennia under natural conditions, but susceptible to rapid subsidence and carbon loss when drained. Short-term, seasonal and long-term peat surface elevation changes are closely l...

Reducing sugar and aroma in a confectionery gel without compromising flavour through addition of air inclusions (2021)
Journal Article
Su, K., Festring, D., Ayed, C., Yang, Q., Sturrock, C. J., Linforth, R., Foster, T., & Fisk, I. (2021). Reducing sugar and aroma in a confectionery gel without compromising flavour through addition of air inclusions. Food Chemistry, 354, Article 129579. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.129579

Sugar plays an important role in both the flavour and structure of confectionery. Targets have been set to reduce sugar; however, common strategies often result in changes in flavour and consumer rejection. In this study, an approach was developed to...

A Model to Investigate the Impact of Farm Practice on Antimicrobial Resistance in UK Dairy Farms (2021)
Journal Article
Lanyon, C. W., King, J. R., Stekel, D. J., & Gomes, R. L. (2021). A Model to Investigate the Impact of Farm Practice on Antimicrobial Resistance in UK Dairy Farms. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 83(4), Article 36. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11538-021-00865-9

© 2021, The Author(s). The ecological and human health impact of antibiotic use and the related antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animal husbandry is poorly understood. In many countries, there has been considerable pressure to reduce overall antibio... Read More about A Model to Investigate the Impact of Farm Practice on Antimicrobial Resistance in UK Dairy Farms.

Fate of selenium in biofortification of wheat on calcareous soil: an isotopic study (2021)
Journal Article
Ahmad, S., Bailey, E. H., Arshad, M., Ahmed, S., Watts, M. J., & Young, S. D. (2021). Fate of selenium in biofortification of wheat on calcareous soil: an isotopic study. Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 43(9), 3643-3657. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10653-021-00841-1

Selenium (Se) biofortification of staple cereal crops can improve the Se nutritional status of populations. A field trial employing an enriched stable isotope of Se (77Se) was undertaken over three consecutive cropping seasons in a coarse textured, c...

To till or not to till in a temperate ecosystem? Implications for climate change mitigation (2021)
Journal Article
Cooper, H. V., Sjögersten, S., Lark, R. M., & Mooney, S. J. (2021). To till or not to till in a temperate ecosystem? Implications for climate change mitigation. Environmental Research Letters, 16(5), Article 054022. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/abe74e

The management of agricultural soils affect the composition and scale of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is conflicting evidence on the effect of zero-tillage on carbon storage and GHG emissions. Here we assess the effects of zero-tillage...
