Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Biochar application has been shown to positively affect soil microbial functions such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing water/nutrient availability and increasing crop yields in tropical regions (Lehmann & Joseph, 2009). Understanding... Read More about Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar.

Temperature response of denitrification rate and greenhouse gas production in agricultural river marginal wetland soils (2013)
Journal Article

Soils are predicted to exhibit significant feedback to global warming via the temperature response of greenhouse gas (GHG) production. However, the temperature response of hydromorphic wetland soils is complicated by confounding factors such as oxyge...

Short-term effect of deep shade and enhanced nitrogen supply on Sphagnum capillifolium morphophysiology (2010)
Journal Article

Sphagnum capillifolium mesocosms collected from an ombrotrophic blanket bog were subjected to controlled photon flux densities (control and shaded) and nitrogen (low and high) treatments between November 2003 and August 2004. Shading significantly re... Read More about Short-term effect of deep shade and enhanced nitrogen supply on Sphagnum capillifolium morphophysiology.

Short-term effectiveness of drain-blocking in suppressing enzymic peat decomposition and DOC export (2008)
Report

It has become evident that there is a general problem of increasing colour in the water draining from areas of accumulated peat in upland Britain. It was agreed in early 2007 to set up a preliminary investigation into the causes of change in colour u...

Seasonal variations in decomposition processes in a valley-bottom riparian peatland (2006)
Journal Article

A year-long field survey was carried out at a valley-bottom riparian peatland site in North Wales, UK from January 2002 to December 2002 to examine the seasonal variation of decomposition processes and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations. P... Read More about Seasonal variations in decomposition processes in a valley-bottom riparian peatland.
