  Soil health metrics for sustainable agricultural systems
Rothamsted Research Research Projects
  Dr S Haefele
Application Deadline: 15 April 2019
Why is this project important?. Soil is the foundation of all agricultural systems. It is a complex biophysical system of aggregated particles and pore networks that, if managed carefully, provides plants with the medium for roots to grow and extract water and nutrients in order to produce food and fibre.

  The effects of soil management practices on CAZyme expression by soil microbial communities and their influence on soil structure and crop production
Newcastle University Institute of Agri-Food Research and Innovation (IAFRI)
  Mr S Hall
Application Deadline: 7 April 2019
Understanding links between CAZyme expression by soil microbial communities and crop management and production. The project will use metagenomics to identify microbial communities in soil and their role in carbohydrate cycling that contribute to crop nutrition and resilience of soil structure.

  Does CO2 Enrichment of Temperate Forests also Affect Soil N Cycling and the Emission of Nitrous Oxide (N2O)? - MScR in Global Environmental Challenges
University of Bristol Cabot Institute
  Dr J House, Dr F Sgouridis
Application Deadline: 1 August 2019
About the Project. Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations in temperate forests may affect soil nitrogen (N) cycling processes due to the increased demand for nitrogen availability by tree photosynthesis.

  Can Glacial Flour Stimulate N Cycling in Croplands? - MScR in Global Environmental Challenges
University of Bristol Cabot Institute
  Dr J L Wadham, Dr F Sgouridis
Application Deadline: 1 August 2019
About the Project. Glacial flour produced from the erosive force of glaciers contains a multitude of minerals that if applied to cropland soils it could chemically weather in situ, potentially increasing soil fertility and reducing the need for chemical fertilisers.
