Artificial Intelligence in Farms: AI-based Crop Disease Monitoring and Detection
Research Group:
Computing
Plant diseases may affect the root, steam and leaves of plants resulting in a sizable drop of revenue for farmers as crop’s quality is affected and may lead to food shortage and food chain disruption [1]. Read more

The Impact of Species Extinctions on Biological Communities and Human Wellbeing
Extinction is one of the great challenges of our times, with over a million plant and animal species under threat. As well as the startling global figures, many of us are witnessing extinctions and the local and national level driven by human factors including habitat loss, the spread of invasive species, and climate change.

Interactions between introduced tree species and native mycorrhizal fungi in the UK
Mycorrhizal symbioses are one of the most extensive and important biotic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, typically providing plants with improved access to nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates produced via photosynthesis. Read more
Digital Construction and the Circular Economy in Building Services
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The circular economy (CE) seeks to replace the current economic model of take-make-waste, with a more sustainable approach, decoupling economic activity from consumption of finite resources. Read more
Reconstructing bee communities - the role of national parks in supporting pollination ecosystem services
Insect pollinator communities, in particular bees, have undergone wide scale declines, driven by a range of factors including habitat loss, agricultural intensification, climate change, disease and invasive species. Read more
