Mycorrhizal colonisation in roots of Holcus lanatus (Yorkshire Fog) in a permanent pasture under conditions of reduced precipitation (2020)
Journal Article

The UK climate is projected to become warmer, with more frequent hotter, drier summers. Many governments and international organisations are concerned about how climate change will affect food production and security. Mycorrhizal fungi are an essenti...

The role of landscape morphology on soil moisture variability in semi-arid ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article

Previous studies on semi-arid ecosystems have shown high values of soil moisture variability (SMV) primarily induced by the combined effects of non-uniform precipitation, incoming solar radiation, and soil and vegetation properties. However, the rela... Read More about The role of landscape morphology on soil moisture variability in semi-arid ecosystems.

Rapid ‘fingerprinting’ of potential sources of plastics in river systems: An example from the River Wye, UK (2020)
Journal Article

Literature review identified seven principal pathways of plastic debris entry into river systems: waste water treatment plants; combined sewer overflows; on-site wastewater treatment systems; road and rail transport systems; agriculture; industrial s...

Public transport use and health status in later life: Which relationship? (2020)
Journal Article

In many developed countries, ageing trends have called for mobility policies oriented to active travels for older adults, preventing some diseases. As a result, in the transport and health literature, the elderly's psycho-physical health is growingly... Read More about Public transport use and health status in later life: Which relationship?.

The history of the Higher Education Research Group of the UK Royal Geographical Society: The changing status and focus of geography education in the academy (2020)
Journal Article

The opening paper in our special section sets the scene for the discussions that follow by evidencing and reflecting on the history of the Higher Education Research Group. We report on the purpose of the Group when it was established in the late 1970...

Reconnecting society with its ecological roots (2020)
Journal Article

Recent high-profile analyses of trajectories and prognoses of ecosystem decline around the world have called for a renewed focus on embedding the values of the natural world across all areas of public policy. This paper reports the results of a UK-b... Read More about Reconnecting society with its ecological roots.

Communicating the hidden: Toward a framework for drought risk communication in maritime climates (2020)
Journal Article

This paper explores stakeholder perspectives on the drought discourse in the UK, where climate change is predicted to increase drought risk. This study took a co-productive, mixed-methods approach to investigate drought risk communication issues thro...

An ecological whodunit: The story of colony collapse disorder (2020)
Journal Article

As life on Earth becomes increasingly precarious, it becomes ever clearer that, while some nonhuman losses are perceived as tragic and controversial, many more are left to slip away, unnoticed and unmourned. The purpose of this study, then, is to det... Read More about An ecological whodunit: The story of colony collapse disorder.

Between abundance and constraints: The natural resource equation of Asia’s diverging, higher-income city models (2020)
Journal Article

This paper investigates how natural resource conditions impact the physical development of cities and how, once built, the urban spatial structure leads to different patterns of resource use. The point of departure for this research is the common “re... Read More about Between abundance and constraints: The natural resource equation of Asia’s diverging, higher-income city models.

Large spatial variations in diffusive CH₄ fluxes from a subtropical coastal reservoir affected by sewage discharge in Southeast China (2020)
Journal Article

Coastal reservoirs are potentially CH4 emission hotspots owing to their biogeochemical role as the sinks of anthropogenic carbon and nutrients. Yet, the fine-scale spatial variations in CH4 concentrations and fluxes in coastal reservoirs remain poorl...
