Biochar application to temperate grasslands: challenges and opportunities for delivering multiple ecosystem services (2023)
Journal Article
Brown, R. W., Chadwick, D. R., Bott, T., West, H. M., Wilson, P., Hodgins, G. R., …Jones, D. L. (2023). Biochar application to temperate grasslands: challenges and opportunities for delivering multiple ecosystem services. Biochar, 5(1), Article 33. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42773-023-00232-y

Grasslands (natural, semi-natural and improved) occupy approximately one-third of the terrestrial biosphere and are key for global ecosystem service provision, storing up to 30% of soil organic carbon (SOC). To date, most research on soil carbon (C)... Read More about Biochar application to temperate grasslands: challenges and opportunities for delivering multiple ecosystem services.

Nitrogen balance is a predictor of farm business performance in the English Farm Business Survey (2023)
Journal Article
Gray Betts, C., Hicks, D., Reader, M., & Wilson, P. (2023). Nitrogen balance is a predictor of farm business performance in the English Farm Business Survey. Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 7, Article 1106196. https://doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.2023.1106196

Global environmental sustainability and food security are fundamental societal issues, and most crop production relies upon inputs from organic or inorganic nitrogen sources. Previous research in the Global North has demonstrated a typical over appli... Read More about Nitrogen balance is a predictor of farm business performance in the English Farm Business Survey.

Journal Article
Mendiondo, G., Moko, E. M., Sparkes, D. L., Rahardiyan, D., Welham, S. J. M., O'Reilly, P., …Sjögersten, S. (2023). Environmental and farming practice controls of productivity of Cyrtosperma merkusii (giant swamp taro), an underutilised wetland and potential paludiculture crop. Food and Energy Security, 13(1), Article e490. https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.490

Growing recognition of the potential vulnerabilities of major crop systems has spurred a growing interest in the potential of alternative crops which may be resilient to climate change and also help mitigate its effects. In Indonesia, such issues are...
