Can visitor satisfaction and knowledge about tropical rainforests be enhanced through biodiversity interpretation, and does this promote a positive attitude towards ecosystem conservation? (2007)
Journal Article
Hill, J., Woodland, W., & Gough, G. (2007). Can visitor satisfaction and knowledge about tropical rainforests be enhanced through biodiversity interpretation, and does this promote a positive attitude towards ecosystem conservation?.

An evaluation of Foreign Fieldwork in promoting Deep learning: A preliminary investigation (2002)
Journal Article
Hill, J., & Woodland, W. (2002). An evaluation of Foreign Fieldwork in promoting Deep learning: A preliminary investigation. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 27(6), 539-555. https://doi.org/10.1080/0260293022000020309

This article defines and evaluates the role of foreign fieldwork in promoting deep learning by university undergraduates of geography and environmental management. Empirical results show that students generally rose to the challenge of predictive-ana... Read More about An evaluation of Foreign Fieldwork in promoting Deep learning: A preliminary investigation.

Species composition in fragmented forests: Conservation implications of changing forest area (2001)
Journal Article
Curran, P. J., Hill, J. L., & Hill, J. (2001). Species composition in fragmented forests: Conservation implications of changing forest area. Applied Geography, 21(2), 157-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0143-6228%2801%2900002-9

An important aspect of forest fragmentation is the ensuing change in forest area and the impact this has on species numbers and composition. Quantifying this is an important step in prioritizing forest fragments for biodiversity conservation. Species...

Why are tropical rain forests so species rich? Classifying, reviewing and evaluating theories (2001)
Journal Article
Hill, R. A., Hill, J. L., Hill, J., & Hill, R. (2001). Why are tropical rain forests so species rich? Classifying, reviewing and evaluating theories. Progress in Physical Geography, 25(3), 326-354. https://doi.org/10.1177/030913330102500302

Two classifications are presented that organize the major processes and theories addressing the high species diversity of tropical rain forests. The first typology organizes environmental and biological processes within a spatio-temporal hierarchy, w... Read More about Why are tropical rain forests so species rich?

The effect of sampling on the species-area curve (1994)
Journal Article
Hill, J., Curran, P., & Foody, G. (1994). The effect of sampling on the species-area curve. Global Ecology and Biogeography Letters, 4, 97-106

The species-area curve has been used to link the biological with the geographical. Larger areas of land would seem to contain more species as a result of both the effect of sampling (i.e. more samples are taken to represent larger areas) and ecologic...

Post-1883 ash fall on Panjang and Sertung and its ecological impact (1992)
Journal Article
Whittaker, R. J., Walden, J., & Hill, J. (1992). Post-1883 ash fall on Panjang and Sertung and its ecological impact. GeoJournal, 28(2), 153-171. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00177228

This paper describes the post-1883 history of volcanic disturbance to the islands Panjang and Sertung, within the Krakatau group, Indonesia. Historical data are reviewed briefly, together with previous stratigraphic and geochemical data. In 1989 six... Read More about Post-1883 ash fall on Panjang and Sertung and its ecological impact.

The use of mineral magnetic analyses as an aid in investigating the recent volcanic disturbance history of the Krakatau Islands, Indonesia (1991)
Journal Article
Walden, J., Whittaker, R. J., & Hill, J. (1991). The use of mineral magnetic analyses as an aid in investigating the recent volcanic disturbance history of the Krakatau Islands, Indonesia. Holocene, 1(3), 262-268. https://doi.org/10.1177/095968369100100307

The recent disturbance of vegetation on islands within the Krakatau group, Indonesia, by a succession of ash falls from Anak Krakatau, has complicated studies of tropical ecosystem recovery since the major eruption of 1883 provided a ‘clean slate’. M... Read More about The use of mineral magnetic analyses as an aid in investigating the recent volcanic disturbance history of the Krakatau Islands, Indonesia.
