The three-peat challenge: business as usual, responsible agriculture, and conservation and restoration as management trajectories in global peatlands (2023)
Journal Article

Peatlands are a globally important carbon store, but peatland ecosystems from high latitudes to the tropics are highly degraded due to increasingly intensive anthropogenic activity, making them significant greenhouse gas (GHG) sources. Peatland resto... Read More about The three-peat challenge: business as usual, responsible agriculture, and conservation and restoration as management trajectories in global peatlands.

The contribution of natural burials to soil ecosystem services: Review and emergent research questions (2023)
Journal Article

The modern funeral industry faces many environmental risks and challenges, such as the use of sustainable materials for coffins, the release of potentially damaging materials and organisms to the soil and groundwater, and reduced space available for...

Simulating carbon accumulation and loss in the central Congo peatlands (2023)
Journal Article

Peatlands of the central Congo Basin have accumulated carbon over millennia. They currently store some 29 billion tonnes of carbon in peat. However, our understanding of the controls on peat carbon accumulation and loss and the vulnerability of this...

Opportunities for enhancing the climate resilience of coffee production through improved crop, soil and water management (2023)
Journal Article

Climate change is adversely affecting coffee production, impacting both yields and quality. Coffee production is dominated by the cultivation of Arabica and Robusta coffee, species that represent 99% of production, but both will be affected by climat...

Mapping Water Levels across a Region of the Cuvette Centrale Peatland Complex (2023)
Journal Article

Inundation dynamics are the primary control on greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands. Situated in the central Congo Basin, the Cuvette Centrale is the largest tropical peatland complex. However, our knowledge of the spatial and temporal variations... Read More about Mapping Water Levels across a Region of the Cuvette Centrale Peatland Complex.

Towards net zero in agriculture: Future challenges and opportunities for arable, livestock and protected cropping systems in the UK (2023)
Journal Article

The agricultural sector faces multiple challenges linked to increased climate uncertainty, causing severe shocks including increased frequency of extreme weather events, new pest and disease risks, soil degradation, and pre and postharvest food losse...
