Wildfire and degradation accelerate northern peatland carbon release
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-04-20)The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire. Here, we use empirical ... -
Historical anthropogenic disturbances explain long-term moorland vegetation dynamics
(Wiley Open AccessEngland, 2023-03-08)Upland moorlands are important landscapes, but many are considered degraded as a result of human activities. Consequently, their protection and restoration are of substantial concern. In Europe, restoration activities are ... -
Keeping on[line] farming: Examining young farmers’ digital curation of identities, (dis)connection and strategies for self-care through social media
(Elsevier, 2023-04-21)This paper explores the geographies of digital curation and self-care among young farmers in the UK, examining how virtual and digital spaces are having a significant impact on how young farmers negotiate their identities, ... -
Examining the Factors That Contribute to Pro-Environmental Behaviour between Rural and Urban Populations
(MDPI, 2023-04-04)Factors that influence pro-environmental behaviour in individuals can be examined to assess the influence of a single element or combination of elements. In this study, eight factors were investigated for their influence ... -
Petrology of the 2020 2021 effusive to explosive eruption of La Soufriere volcano St Vincent: Insights into plumbling system architecture and magma assembly mechanism
(The Geological Society, 2023-03-29)The 2020-21 eruption of La Soufrière, St Vincent began with extrusion of a viscous lava dome, which was destroyed upon transition to a major explosive phase. Here we present petrological data to reconstruct the processes ... -
Physical and biogeochemical controls on seasonal iron, manganese, and cobalt distributions in Northeast Atlantic shelf seas
(Elsevier, 2023-05)Dissolved (<0.2 μm) trace metals (dTMs) including iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and cobalt (Co) are micronutrients that (co-) limit phytoplankton growth in many ocean regions. Here, we present the spatial and seasonal ... -
Understanding the motivations and implications of climate emergency declarations in cities: The case of Italy
(Elsevier, 2023-05)This study investigates the climate emergency declaration (CED) movement in cities and its effects and synergies with local climate planning. Urban areas are experiencing a wide range of climate-induced extreme events, ... -

(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-03-16)<jats:p>Abstract. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and salps are major macroplankton contributors to Southern Ocean food webs and krill are also fished commercially. Managing this fishery sustainably, against a backdrop ... -
An Exploration of the Contribution of Embodied, Situated Research Strategies to Cultural Ecosystem Services and Landscape Assessment Frameworks: An Environmental Empathy Case Study
(Projekt Avant, 2022-05-23)<jats:p>Since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005, interest has increased in cultural ecosystem services (CESs) research to understand the complexity of the non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems. ... -
Microfibers: Environmental Problems and Textile Solutions
(MDPI, 2022-11-01)<jats:p>Microplastics have become a topic of considerable concern and intensive study over the past decade. They have been found everywhere in the oceans, including the deepest trenches and remotest parts of the Arctic. ...
