Quantifying dispersal ability and how organisms navigate through the environment is an essential step required to predict how individual species will cope with land use changes. There… Read More »Dispersal strategies and space use in pollinating bees
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for food production but rock phosphate reserves are non-renewable and set to become increasingly scarce, making phosphorus critical for global food… Read More »What lies beneath: Resolving fundamental controls on the stable oxygen isotope composition of phosphate in soils
Methane (CH4) emissions are far more devastating to global climate than carbon dioxide as CH4 is 21-times more potent a greenhouse gas on a per molecule… Read More »The impact of mixing on the production of methane by lakes and its loss to the atmosphere
