ACCE+ DLA programme: Invisible diversity in a changing world: How do soil microbes affect plant drought tolerance?
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Resolving interactions between global change and soil microbiome function using metaproteomics
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
BARIToNE: Cover cropping for soil and crop resilience in a changing climate (Project code 25F)
Supervisors. Lead supervisor - Dr Kenneth Loades, James Hutton Institute. Additional supervisors - Dr Alison Karley, James Hutton Institute; Dr Hannah Cooper, University of Nottingham. Read more
EastBio - Impact of the soil ecosystem on gastrointestinal nematodes of grazing sheep
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites of sheep have a profound impact on animal health and welfare and the sustainability of the industry. Read more
BARIToNE: Regenerative Agriculture - Unveiling the Impact of Farmer Practices on Soil Health in Malting Barley Cultivation (Project code 25I)
Supervisors. Lead supervisor - Professor Sofie Sjogersten, University of Nottingham. Second supervisor - Dr Guillermina Mendiondo, University of Nottingham. Read more
EastBio - Effect of latitude and cover crop phenotype on weeds, pests and soil health
Cover/catch crops include a multitude of species and species mixtures. They have many potential impacts on soil including holding onto or redistributing nutrients in the soil profile, improving soil structure, improving water holding capacity of soil, increasing soil carbon, and supressing pests and weeds.

ACCE+ DLA programme - How does the spatial organisation of soil bacteria control agricultural greenhouse gas emissions?
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
CR2025_35: Unravelling how mycorrhizal and decomposer fungi in forest soils effect wood and litter decomposition and may mitigate climate change
Forest soils are part of the solutions to global climate change by sequestering carbon (C) to compensate for anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO. Read more
Grazing and rewilding: how do they affect biodiversity, carbon cycling and greenhouse gas emissions?
Background. Do you want to help us to understand how grazing and rewilding can provide better ecosystem services?. We are facing severe consequences due to climate change and biodiversity loss. Read more

Soil carbon balance in blanket peatland forests
PeatFor Project – Management of peatland forests for climate and biodiversity. In pristine or undrained conditions peatland are long-term sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO. Read more
Carbon sequestration from Agricultural soils from different Land-uses, Managements and Soil types (CALMS)
Agriculture dominates the Irish landscape, with ~60% of the total land area devoted to grass-based agriculture for beef and dairy production. Read more
Assessing efficient application and emission reduction from using low carbon footprint fertilisers in potato agronomy (Ref: CTP-SAI-070)
With the price of mineral fertilisers increasing and the state of soil health decreasing, innovative solutions are needed to meet crop nutrient demands whilst ensuring that sufficient organic matter is conserved in the soil. Read more
EastBio - Are grasslands as important for soil carbon as we think?
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
Future Faba: Quantifying the impacts of Faba beans on soil processes for resilient agriculture (Ref: CTP-SAI-082)
Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) are nitrogen-fixing crops that boost the yield of subsequent crops, such as wheat, through mechanisms beyond nitrogen alone. Read more
