The potential of bioinformatics approaches in identifying genetic factors associated with environmental stress reponse of cereal crops. Open
Wheat is Australia's largest cereal crop but its growth can suffer from environmental stress factors such as drought, salinity, chilling, frost and flooding. Biotechnology is starting to play significant roles in identifying genes associat…

GREENHOUSE GAS AND AMMONIA EMISSION MITIGATION PRIORITIES FOR UK POLICY TARGETS Open
Agriculture is essential for providing food and maintaining food security while concurrently delivering multiple other ecosystem services. However, agricultural systems are generally a net source of greenhouse gases and ammonia. They, ther…

Permanent grasslands in Europe: Land use change and intensification decrease their multifunctionality Open
Permanent grasslands cover 34% of the European Union's agricultural area and are vital for a wide variety of ecosystem services essential for our society. Over recent decades, the permanent grassland area has declined and land use change c…

Establishing efficacy of honey as a biomonitor for metal distribution and lead source apportionment in urban environments Open
Urban geochemistry is an emerging field in which key scientific and societal challenges, including rapid urbanization and population growth, compel investigation of readily accessible biomonitors to determine the source, transport, and fat…

Honey Maps the Pb Fallout from the 2019 Fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris: A Geochemical Perspective Open
The fire at Notre-Dame cathedral, Paris, in April 2019, was an acute pollution event, releasing lead (Pb)-rich dust into the city. To assess Pb distribution, honey samples (n = 36) were collected (in July 2019) from hives throughout the Îl…

Evaluating Spatiotemporal Resolution of Trace Element Concentrations and Pb Isotopic Compositions of Honeybees and Hive Products as Biomonitors for Urban Metal Distribution Open
Assessing metal distributions in cities is an important aspect of urban environmental quality management. Western honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) and their products are biomonitors that can elucidate small‐scale metal distribution within a ci…

Model evaluation in relation to soil N2O emissions: An algorithmic method which accounts for variability in measurements and possible time lags Open
The loss of nitrogen from fertilised soils in the form of nitrous oxide (N2O) is a side effect of modern agriculture and the focus of many model-based studies. Due to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of soil N2O emissions, the measur…

Lying in wait: deep and shallow evolution of dacite beneath Volcán de Santa María, Guatemala Open
The Plinian eruption in October 1902 of 8.5 km3of dacitic pumice and minor basaltic andesite scoria and ash at Volcán de Santa María, Guatemala violently interrupted a 25 kyr period of repose that had followed ∼75 kyr of cone-growth via ex…
