Differentiating between hedgerows gaps: Natural or for access? Dec 1, 2021 - Mar 31, 2022
Following on from the Hedgerows: Mapping the Gap project, this element of work will utilise existing datasets and collect primary data to create methods able to differentiate between natural gaps and access gaps within hedgerows. Three methods are pr... Read More about Differentiating between hedgerows gaps: Natural or for access?.

nutrient analysis on Winestead Drain (EA partnership) Jan 25, 2022 - Mar 31, 2022
Analysis sediment core samples nutrient levels, particularly focusing on phosphate levels to understand nutrient sources. Excess phosphates lead to eutrophication, to inform mitigation of this sources of phosphates need to be determined. Historic ph...
