The relative importance of invertebrate and microbial decomposition in a rainforest restoration project (2017)
Journal Article

© 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...

Stable isotope switching (SIS): A new stable isotope probing (SIP) approach to determine carbon flow in the soil food web and dynamics in organic matter pools (2012)
Journal Article

RATIONALE Recent advances in stable isotope probing (SIP) have allowed direct linkage of microbial population structure and function. This paper details a new development of SIP, Stable Isotope Switching (SIS), which allows the simultaneous assessmen...

Impact of land management practices on high-affinity methanotrophic bacterial populations: Evidence from long-term sites at Rothamsted (2011)
Journal Article

The impacts of land-use change and long-term agricultural practices on the bacterial and methanotrophic biomass in the soils comprising the Classical Experiments at Rothamsted Research were investigated by using 13CH 4 phospholipid fatty acid stable...

Substantial high-affinity methanotroph populations in Andisols effect high rates of atmospheric methane oxidation (2009)
Journal Article

Methanotrophic bacteria in soils derived from volcanic ash (Andisols) were characterized via time series 13C-phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) labelling. Three Andisols were incubated under 2 ppmv 13CH 4 for up to 18 weeks, thus enabling high-affinity m...

Physical and biological controls on the in situ kinetic isotope effect associated with oxidation of atmospheric CH4 in mineral soils (2008)
Journal Article

The amounts and δ13C values of CH4 at subambient concentrations in soil gas were determined along depth profiles in a U.K. grassland (Bronydd Mawr) and woodland (Leigh Woods). The data were used to determine in situ kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) ass...

The environmental and socio-economic impacts of changing agri-environment payments in Queens Sedgemoor, Somerset Levels
Report

The moor appears to be nitrate limited, but there is evidence that may suggest there is significant nitrate input in parts of the moor. It would be instructive to understand the flux of nitrates as water move through the ditch system in more detail....
