Developing Active Green Walls for Classrooms
This project is funded by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and will pursue a multi-scale approach to establish the potential of active green walls to improve environmental quality in classrooms. Read more
Human impacts on soil health in upland managed and rough grazing land: Exploring variability emerging from human-soil interactions at the Finzean Estate (Scotland)
Healthy soils are critical to a sustainable future. Human impacts on soil health in intensively farmed and managed landscapes are widely acknowledged. Read more
Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture
Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more
SCENARIO - Changes in soil hydraulic properties using long-term innovative monitoring to unveil process dynamics, improve numerical model parameterisation and support Nature-based Solutions (SC2023_41)
This project is based at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford. Read more
Sink or source - how CO2 levels affect the soil C cycle and the implications for climate change
PROJECT TITLE. Sink or Source - How CO2 levels affect the soil C cycle and the implications for. climate change. DTP Research Theme(s). Read more
SCENARIO - Modelling the impact of planting choices and management on the delivery of multiple ecosystem services by domestic gardens (SC2023_17)
What we plant and how we manage our gardens can have a significant impact on the environment. Domestic gardens cover up to 30% of UK urban areas, and recent research has linked garden plant characteristics (in terms of their structure and function) with provision of key ecosystem services.

Color Science Ph.D.
Color has been an intense topic of interest for thousands of years. Mathematicians, philosophers, physicists, physiologists, poets, and other disciplines have all contributed to our understanding of color. Read more
PLANT SCIENCE CDT: Mechanistic understanding of plant-microbe interaction to solve the nitrogen use efficiency dilemma
Applications are invited for this exciting, fully-funded, 42 month PhD studentship at the University of Aberdeen. This project is part of the newly established Anthony & Margaret Johnston. Read more
PLANT SCIENCE CDT: Optimising root surface traits for sustainable plants and soils
Applications are invited for this exciting, fully-funded, 42 month PhD studentship at the University of Aberdeen. This project is part of the newly established Anthony & Margaret Johnston. Read more
Ecohydrology and Ecosystem Function on the Fletcherview Savanna Rangeland and Cattle Station
Almost all terrestrial life lives within the Earth’s thin ‘skin’, a 100-200m high zone, stretching from bedrock, through aquifers, soil and the biosphere to the top of plant canopies in the atmosphere. Read more
Computational modelling of mineral-organic binding in soil
Soils contain large amounts of organic matter (also called “soil organic carbon”). there is three times as much carbon stored in soil than in the atmosphere as CO. Read more
Regulation of water and nutrient cycles with Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in a changing environment
Reference number. SCEBE-20-002-AGOSF. Aim & Scope. Climate change and population growth are threatening the quality and resilience of the Earth’s ecosystems. Read more
IAFRI PhD Studentship in Agriculture - Investigating the impact of biodiversity funding on tree survival in non-woodland contexts through environmental testing
Overview. This PhD will analyse the impact of the monetisation of biodiversity, such as Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), on tree planting and maintenance decisions in non-woodland contexts such as along infrastructural linear features, on brownfield sites and as part of development. Read more

The phosphorus journey from soil to crops to humans and its implications for sustainable agriculture and human health.
Around 30-50% of the soil organic phosphorus (P) is found as inositol phosphates. The use of organic P by plants and microbes requires hydrolysis of organic P from soil through the process of mineralization by the action of microbial phosphatases. Read more
SCENARIO: Mitigating greenhouse gas releases from contaminated urban re-development sites (SC2023_25)
Background. The construction industry is a major contributor to global carbon emissions and urgently needs to address this to reduce its carbon emissions. Read more
