Conference Proceeding
Reynolds, S., Ritz, K., Crotty, F., Stoate, C., West, H., & Neal, A. L. (2017). Effects of cover crops on phosphatase activity in a clay arable soil in the UK. In Sustainable intensification at Rothamsted Research, Harpenden, Herts UK on 28-30 November 2017 (215-220)

The effect of five cover crop species (radish, buckwheat, vetch, phacelia and oat) alongside an un-cropped control, on the activity and persistence of soil acid and alkaline phosphatase activity was investigated. There was no effect on alkaline phosp... Read More about Effects of cover crops on phosphatase activity in a clay arable soil in the UK.

The response of soil microbial diversity and abundance to long-term application of biosolids (2017)
Journal Article
Mossa, A., Dickinson, M. J., West, H. M., Young, S. D., & Crout, N. M. (2017). The response of soil microbial diversity and abundance to long-term application of biosolids. Environmental Pollution, 224, 16-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2017.02.056

The disposal of biosolids poses a major environmental and economic problem. Agricultural use is generally regarded as the best means of disposal. However, its impact on soil ecosystems remains uncertain. Biosolids can improve soil properties by suppl...
