Effect of vegetation data collection strategies on estimates of relevant source area of pollen (RSAP) and relative pollen productivity estimates (relative PPE) for non-arboreal taxa. Vegetation History and Archaeobotany, 19(4), 365-374. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00334-010-0246-2

Thirteen surface moss samples were collected for pollen analysis from an area of heathland in western Norway. Vegetation composition at different distances around the sampling locations was measured using three different survey methods; rooted freque...

Evaluation of extraction methods for use with NMR-based metabolomics in the marine polychaete ragworm, Hediste diversicolor (2010)
Journal Article
del Carmen Alvarez, M., Donarski, J. A., Elliott, M., & Charlton, A. J. (2010). Evaluation of extraction methods for use with NMR-based metabolomics in the marine polychaete ragworm, Hediste diversicolor. Metabolomics, 6(4), 541-549. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11306-010-0222-y

The sediment-dwelling polychaete, Hediste diversicolor, is commonly found in Northern temperate estuaries. Its limited mobility and tolerance to polluted conditions makes it a good candidate for biological monitoring. Moreover, its importance in the...

Integrating sustainable waste management into product design: Sustainability as a functional requirement (2010)
Journal Article
Deutz, P., Neighbour, G., & McGuire, M. (2010). Integrating sustainable waste management into product design: Sustainability as a functional requirement. Sustainable Development, 18(4), 229 - 239. https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.469

Municipal waste management is, by definition, spatially organized. In the United Kingdom the national government designates waste collection and disposal responsibilities to the various scales of local government. However, whilst the highest aim of w...

Lake Ohrid is a site of global importance for palaeoclimate research. This study presents results of diatom analysis of a ca. 136 ka sequence, Co1202, from the northeast of the lake basin. It offers the opportunity to test diatom response across two... Read More about The last glacial-interglacial cycle in Lake Ohrid (Macedonia/Albania): testing diatom response to climate.

Moving young lives: Mobility, immobility and inter-generational tensions in urban Africa (2010)

Thesis
Pedley, D. J. Birds and people in towns and cities : an exploration of human-bird relations in urban areas. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209813

Urban nature conservation and sustainability discourses regularly state a desire to bring more ‘nature’ and wildlife into towns and cities - for the perceived good of both people and wildlife. Yet many wildlife species that already live in urban area... Read More about Birds and people in towns and cities : an exploration of human-bird relations in urban areas.
