Soil Property, Carbon Stock and Peat Extent Mapping at 10 m Resolution in Scotland Using Digital Soil Mapping Techniques Open
The estimation of soil carbon stocks is an important component in environmental planning, policy and land management, particularly in the context of climate change mitigation. The following work presents national‐scale soil property mappin…

Microplastics in agricultural soils following sewage sludge applications: Evidence from a 25-year study Open
Sewage sludges applied to agricultural soils are sources of microplastic pollution, however, little is known about the accumulation, persistence, or degradation of these microplastics over time. This is the first study to provide long-term…

A deep learning approach for high‐resolution mapping of Scottish peatland degradation Open
Peat makes up approximately a quarter of Scotland's soil by area. Healthy, undisturbed, peatland habitats are critical to providing resilient biodiversity and habitat support, water management, and carbon sequestration. A high and stable w…

Antibiotic resistance patterns in soils across the Scottish landscape Open
The environment disseminates antimicrobial-resistance genes; however, it remains challenging to distinguish whether human activities exacerbate antimicrobial resistance or what is natural. Here, we quantified ~300 resistance-related genes …

Identification and Assessment of Data Deliverable: D1.4a for the Project D5-2 Climate Change Impacts on Natural Capital Open
This report provides details on several datasets that are relevant to Natural Capital typology, mapping and monitoring in Scotland. This work links not only to other deliverables within the D5 project, but also to C5 Large Scale Modelling.…

A systems approach to modelling phosphorus pollution risk in Scottish rivers using a spatial Bayesian Belief Network helps targeting effective mitigation measures Open
Water quality remains a main reason for the failure of waterbodies to reach Good Ecological Status (GES) under the European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD), with phosphorus (P) pollution being a major cause of water quality failures.…
View article: A Geochemical and Agronomic Evaluation of Technosols Made from Construction and Demolition Fines Mixed with Green Waste Compost
A Geochemical and Agronomic Evaluation of Technosols Made from Construction and Demolition Fines Mixed with Green Waste Compost Open
Construction and demolition fines (C&D-fines) and green waste compost (GWC) are two commonly generated urban waste materials that represent repositories of geochemical value. Here technosols were produced from volumetric mixtures of these …

A systems approach to modelling phosphorus pollution risk in Scottish rivers using Bayesian Belief Networks Open
<p>Water pollution is an important reason for the failure of 17 % of Scottish waterbodies to reach Good Ecological Status under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Among the multiple pressures affecting water quality, phosphorus (P)…
View article: Automated Soil Physical Parameter Assessment Using Smartphone and Digital Camera Imagery
Automated Soil Physical Parameter Assessment Using Smartphone and Digital Camera Imagery Open
Here we present work on using different types of soil profile imagery (topsoil profiles captured with a smartphone camera and full-profile images captured with a conventional digital camera) to estimate the structure, texture and drainage …
