Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy (2015)
Journal Article
Stott, D., Boyd, D. S., Beck, A., & Cohn, A. (2015). Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy. Remote Sensing, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs70201594

In arable landscapes, the airborne detection of archaeological features is often reliant on using the properties of the vegetation cover as a proxy for sub-surface features in the soil. Under the right conditions, the formation of vegetation marks al... Read More about Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy.

What else do managers need to know about warming rivers? A United Kingdom perspective: Managing warming rivers (2015)
Journal Article
Orr, H. G., Johnson, M. F., Wilby, R. L., Hatton-Ellis, T., & Broadmeadow, S. (2015). What else do managers need to know about warming rivers? A United Kingdom perspective: Managing warming rivers. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2(2), 55-64. https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1062

River flow and water temperature are fundamental controls of freshwater ecosystems. Hence, future warming could impact valued habitats and species, particularly those with cold water preferences (such as salmonids). Warming could also exacerbate exis...

Valuing map validation: the need for rigorous land cover map accuracy assessment in economic valuations of ecosystem services (2015)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2015). Valuing map validation: the need for rigorous land cover map accuracy assessment in economic valuations of ecosystem services. Ecological Economics, 111(March), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2015.01.003

Valuations of ecosystem services often use data on land cover class areal extent. Area estimates from land cover maps may be biased by misclassification error resulting in flawed assessments and inaccurate valuations. Adjustment for misclassification...

Photic zone changes in the north-west Pacific Ocean from MIS 4–5e (2015)
Journal Article
Swann, G., & Snelling, A. M. (2015). Photic zone changes in the north-west Pacific Ocean from MIS 4–5e. Climate of the Past, 11(1), https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-11-15-2015

In comparison to other sectors of the marine system, the palaeoceanography of the subarctic North Pacific Ocean is poorly constrained. New diatom isotope records of ?13C, ?18O ?30Si (?13Cdiatom, ?18Odiatom and ?30Sidiatom) are presented alongside exi...

Moderate drinking before the unit: medicine and life assurance in Britain and the US c.1860–1930 (2015)
Journal Article
Kneale, J., & French, S. (2015). Moderate drinking before the unit: medicine and life assurance in Britain and the US c.1860–1930. Drugs: Education, Prevention, and Policy, 22(2), https://doi.org/10.3109/09687637.2014.964185

This article describes the way in which “Anstie’s Limit” – a particular definition of moderate drinking first defined in Britain in the 1860s by the physician Francis Edmund Anstie (1833–1874) – became established as a useful measure of moderate alco...

Biochar-mediated reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from soil amended with anaerobic digestates (2015)
Journal Article
Martin, S. L., Clarke, M. L., Othman, M., Ramsden, S. J., & West, H. M. (2015). Biochar-mediated reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from soil amended with anaerobic digestates. Biomass and Bioenergy, 79, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2015.04.030

This investigation examines nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes from soil with simultaneous amendments of anaerobic digestates and biochar. The main source of anthropogenic emissions of N2O is agriculture and in particular, manure and slurry application to fi...

Silica stable isotopes and silicification in a carnivorous sponge Asbestopluma sp. (2015)
Journal Article
Hendry, K., Swann, G. E., Leng, M. J., Sloane, H. J., Goodwin, C., Berman, J., & Maldonado, M. (2015). Silica stable isotopes and silicification in a carnivorous sponge Asbestopluma sp. Biogeosciences, 12, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-12-3489-2015

The stable isotope composition of benthic sponge spicule silica is a potential source of palaeoceanographic information about past deep seawater chemistry. The silicon isotope composition of spicules has been shown to relate to the silicic acid conce... Read More about Silica stable isotopes and silicification in a carnivorous sponge Asbestopluma sp..
