Organic Carbon Speciation, Decomposition Markers and Processes in Wetland Soils This project will examine the soil-flood plain interaction, soil carbon speciation on flooding regimes, soil micro aggregates and the historical record of a floodplain sediment profile to determine the past frequency of flooding events, and the characteristics of the deposited carbon, with the ultimate aim of determining the catchment origins of the organic carbon.

Peatland Vegetation Diversity, Status and Impacts by Introduced Ungulates This information about the status of vegetation diversity in montane peatlands, anthropogenic impacts by introduced ungulates, and the likely responses by peatlands to climate change, will inform the management and conservation of these Endangered Ecological Communities

The effects of willows and willow removal on river function. The effects of willows and willow removal on river function and the rehabilitation process required to return willow removal sites to an ecologically and socially acceptable state need to be investigated if future willow removal works are to be conducted to their highest potential.
