Opening the black box: Soil microcosm experiments reveal soot black carbon short-term oxidation and influence on soil organic carbon mineralisation (2021)
Journal Article
Crispo, M., Cameron, D. D., Meredith, W., Eveleigh, A., Ladommatos, N., Mašek, O., & Edmondson, J. L. (2021). Opening the black box: Soil microcosm experiments reveal soot black carbon short-term oxidation and influence on soil organic carbon mineralisation. Science of the Total Environment, 801, Article 149659. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149659

Soils hold three quarters of the total organic carbon (OC) stock in terrestrial ecosystems and yet we fundamentally lack detailed mechanistic understanding of the turnover of major soil OC pools. Black carbon (BC), the product of the incomplete combu...

Heavy metals and metalloids concentrations across UK urban horticultural soils and the factors influencing their bioavailability to food crops (2021)
Journal Article
Crispo, M., Dobson, M. C., Blevins, R. S., Meredith, W., Lake, J. A., & Edmondson, J. L. (2021). Heavy metals and metalloids concentrations across UK urban horticultural soils and the factors influencing their bioavailability to food crops. Environmental Pollution, 288, Article 117960. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117960

Urban horticulture (UH) has been proposed as a solution to increase urban sustainability, but the potential risks to human health due to potentially elevated soil heavy metals and metalloids (HM) concentrations represent a major constraint for UH exp...

Green and simple approach for low-cost bioproducts preparation and CO2 capture (2021)
Journal Article
Durán-Jiménez, G., Kostas, E. T., Stevens, L. A., Meredith, W., Erans, M., Hernández-Montoya, V., …Binner, E. (2021). Green and simple approach for low-cost bioproducts preparation and CO2 capture. Chemosphere, 279, Article 130512. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130512

This study has demonstrated, for the first time, a simple, fast and flexible microwave processing method for the simultaneous preparation of bio-products (bio-oil, bio-gas and biochar) using a methodology that avoids any form of catalyst or chemical...

Comparison of the impact of moisture on methane adsorption and nanoporosity for over mature shales and their kerogens (2021)
Journal Article
Li, W., Stevens, L. A., Uguna, C. N., Vane, C. H., Meredith, W., Tang, L., …Snape, C. E. (2021). Comparison of the impact of moisture on methane adsorption and nanoporosity for over mature shales and their kerogens. International Journal of Coal Geology, 237, Article 103705. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2021.103705

© 2021 Elsevier B.V. Moisture in shales under reservoir conditions adversely affects gas adsorption and nanoporosity and is also likely to impact on the contribution that kerogen makes to the methane adsorption capacity. To investigate these phenomen... Read More about Comparison of the impact of moisture on methane adsorption and nanoporosity for over mature shales and their kerogens.
