Journal Article
Hargreaves, P. R., Baker, K. L., Graceson, A., Bonnett, S. A., Ball, B. C., & Cloy, J. M. (2021). Use of a nitrification inhibitor reduces nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from compacted grassland with different soil textures and climatic conditions. Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 310, Article 107307. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2021.107307

Grassland accounts for 70 % of the global agricultural area. Grassland amended with N fertiliser, although increasing productivity, encourages the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Soil compaction can result in impeded water movemen...

Soil compaction has been estimated to be responsible for 33 million ha of soil degradation in Europe, reducing crop yields, however there is limited data on grassland silage yields loss. Extended grazing periods, increased size and weight of farm veh...

The world of student unions is under-researched, particularly relating to global issues and challenges, despite them holding a large proportion of the future workforce. At present, the European Students Union (ESU) has a duty of care to approximately...

Microbial mechanisms of carbon and nitrogen acquisition in contrasting urban soils (2018)
Journal Article
Birt, H. W. G., & Bonnett, S. (2018). Microbial mechanisms of carbon and nitrogen acquisition in contrasting urban soils. European Journal of Soil Biology, 88, 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejsobi.2018.05.006

© 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS Urban soils play an essential role in delivering ecosystem services due to soil microbial functions but there is limited evidence of the role of urban soils in the global carbon cycle. Inorganic nitrogen (N) reduces microbi... Read More about Microbial mechanisms of carbon and nitrogen acquisition in contrasting urban soils.

Physical conditions regulate the fungal to bacterial ratios of a tropical suspended soil (2017)
Journal Article
Donald, J., Bonnett, S., Cutler, M., Majalap, N., Maxfield, P., & Ellwood, M. D. F. (2017). Physical conditions regulate the fungal to bacterial ratios of a tropical suspended soil. Forests, 8(12), Article 474. https://doi.org/10.3390/f8120474

As a source of ‘suspended soils’, epiphytes contribute large amounts of organic matter to the canopy of tropical rain forests. Microbes associated with epiphytes are responsible for much of the nutrient cycling taking place in rain forest canopies. H...

Hydrological legacy determines the type of enzyme inhibition in a peatlands chronosequence (2017)
Journal Article
Bonnett, S., Maltby, E., & Freeman, C. (2017). Hydrological legacy determines the type of enzyme inhibition in a peatlands chronosequence. Scientific Reports, 7(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-10430-x

© 2017 The Author(s). Peatland ecosystems contain one-third of the world's soil carbon store and many have been exposed to drought leading to a loss of carbon. Understanding biogeochemical mechanisms affecting decomposition in peatlands is essential...

The relative importance of invertebrate and microbial decomposition in a rainforest restoration project (2017)
Journal Article
Donald, J., Weir, I., Bonnett, S., Maxfield, P., & Ellwood, M. D. F. (2018). The relative importance of invertebrate and microbial decomposition in a rainforest restoration project. Restoration Ecology, 26(2), 220-226. https://doi.org/10.1111/rec.12553

© 2017 Society for Ecological Restoration Tropical rainforests are increasingly disturbed by human activities. While restoration projects often succeed in replacing tree cover, they rarely manage to restore soil function. Consequently, there is an ur...

Temperature response of denitrification rate and greenhouse gas production in agricultural river marginal wetland soils (2013)
Journal Article
Blackwell, M. S., Bonnett, S. A., Bonnett, S., Blackwell, M. S. A., Leah, R., Cook, V., …Maltby, E. (2013). Temperature response of denitrification rate and greenhouse gas production in agricultural river marginal wetland soils. Geobiology, 11(3), 252-267. https://doi.org/10.1111/gbi.12032

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...
