Journal Article
Venn, L., Kneafsey, M., Holloway, L., Cox, R., Dowler, E., & Tuomainen, H. (2006). Researching European 'alternative' food networks: Some methodological considerations. Area, 38(3), 248-258. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4762.2006.00694.x

Recent European literature on 'alternative' food networks (AFNs) draws heavily upon an apparently accessible and diverse body of non-conventional food networks in the agro-food sector and whilst researchers frequently refer to individual examples of...

Managing sustainable farmed landscape through 'alternative' food networks: a case study from Italy (2006)
Journal Article
Holloway, L., Cox, R., Venn, L., Kneafsey, M., Dowler, E., & Tuomainen, H. (2006). Managing sustainable farmed landscape through 'alternative' food networks: a case study from Italy. The Geographical journal, 172(3), 219-229. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4959.2006.00205.x

This paper focuses on a case study of an 'alternative' food network based in the Abruzzo National Park, Italy, to explore how ideas of sustainable farmland management can be expressed through broader understandings of developing networks of care conc...

Monitoring a flood event in a densely instrumented catchment, the Upper Eden, Cumbria, UK (2006)
Journal Article
Mayes, W. M., Walsh, C. L., Bathurst, J. C., Kilsby, C. G., Quinn, P. F., Wilkinson, M. E., Daugherty, A. J., & O'Connell, P. E. (2006). Monitoring a flood event in a densely instrumented catchment, the Upper Eden, Cumbria, UK. Water and environment journal : the journal / the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management, 20(4), 217-226. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747-6593.2005.00006.x

Multi-day rainfall events appear to be an important cause of recent flooding in the UK. Hydrological data from an extensive, nested hydrometric network in the unregulated, predominantly rural Upper Eden catchment in northern England are presented for...

Buffering of alkaline steel slag leachate across a natural wetland (2006)
Journal Article
Mayes, W. M., Younger, P. L., & Aumônier, J. (2006). Buffering of alkaline steel slag leachate across a natural wetland. Environmental Science and Technology, 40(4), 1237-1243. https://doi.org/10.1021/es051304u

Buffering of high-pH ( > 12) steel slag leachate is documented across a small, natural calcareous wetland. The alkaline leachate is supersaturated with respect to calcite upstream of the wetland (SI calcite values +2.3) and becomes less saturated wi...
