Journal Article
Alsafy, M. A. M., El-Gendy, S. A. A., Atkinson, B., Sturrock, C. J., Kamal, B. M., Alibhai, A., …Rutland, C. S. (2024). Novel Insights Into the Architecture of Macro and Microstructures in Cattle Ossa Cordis. Microscopy and Microanalysis, 30(3), 574-593. https://doi.org/10.1093/mam/ozae046

Ossa cordis, bones located within the heart trigones, are often classified as heterotopic or ectopic bones. Despite their high prevalence in cattle and some other bovids, little is known about their structure or development. Scanning electron microsc...

Zero-tillage induces significant changes to the soil pore network and hydraulic function after 7 years (2024)
Journal Article
Wardak, D. L. R., Padia, F. N., de Heer, M. I., Sturrock, C. J., & Mooney, S. J. (2024). Zero-tillage induces significant changes to the soil pore network and hydraulic function after 7 years. Geoderma, 447, Article 116934. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2024.116934

Zero-tillage and ploughing are highly contrasting soil management practices that have distinct roles in generating soil porosity. Ploughed systems employ anthropogenic perturbation to manage weed pressure and ensure optimal conditions at time of sowi...

New Phytologist, https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.19777

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is an important global cereal crop and a model in genetic studies. Despite advances in characterising barley genomic resources, few mutant studies have identified genes controlling root architecture and anatomy, which plays a...

Herbal leys have no effect on soil porosity, earthworm abundance, and microbial community composition compared to a grass-clover ley in a sheep grazed grassland after 2-years (2024)
Journal Article
Cooledge, E. C., Sturrock, C. J., Atkinson, B. S., Mooney, S. J., Brailsford, F. L., Murphy, D. V., …Jones, D. L. (2024). Herbal leys have no effect on soil porosity, earthworm abundance, and microbial community composition compared to a grass-clover ley in a sheep grazed grassland after 2-years. Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 365, Article 108928. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2024.108928

Herbal leys (multispecies swards) can potentially deliver greater agronomic and environmental benefits than conventional grass-clover swards in grazed agroecosystems. However, despite their popularity in agri-environment schemes, little is known abou...
