Soil structure

Five decades' experience of long-term soil monitoring, and key design principles, to assist the EU soil health mission

Presentation of the principles of design from five decades of national soil monitoring

Topsoil porosity prediction across habitats at large scales using environmental variables

Machine learning used to identify habitat and soil organic matter as promising predictors of porosity

Analytical modelling of soil porosity and bulk density across the soil organic matter and land-use continuum

Analytical model presented for calculating porosity as a function of soil organic matter

Monitoring and analysis of the structure, function and biodiversity of soils

My PhD thesis!

Soil health cluster analysis based on national monitoring of soil indicators

We present topsoil physicochemical properties from ~1350 sites across Wales and identify soil health classes.

Soil textural heterogeneity impacts bacterial but not fungal diversity

Soil textural heterogeneity is linked to bacterial richness, and textural composition is linked to bacterial and fungal composition.

Plant and soil communities are associated with the response of soil water repellency to environmental stress

Surface soil water repellency is related to the ecological communities at a site.
