CR2025_30: Crushed basalt addition to soil to enhance carbon sequestration: implications for soil physical and hydrological functioning
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Crushed basalt has recently received a lot of interest as a soil amendment that can facilitate atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO. Read more

Understanding the potential soil carbon benefits of agroforestry
Globally forest and woodland creation is being used to meet net zero greenhouse gas emission targets. To increase the terrestrial carbon sink in the UK, the government is aiming to increase forest and woodland cover from 13% to 17-20% by 2050 with Scotland aiming for 21% forest/woodland cover by 2032.

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
The effect of tree planting on soil carbon balance in upland ecosystems
Summary. There is uncertainty over soil carbon fate in tree-established upland ecosystems. This project will quantify system dynamics to understand biogeochemical and microbial mechanisms, improving understanding of net climate mitigation benefit of afforestation. . Read more

CR2025_47: Nutrient Impacts and Microbiochemical Controls on Carbon Storage in Forest Soils
Temperate forests and woodlands play a vital role in storing carbon, much of which is held in the soil. This natural carbon storage helps to offset the effects of climate change. 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
Impact of the microbial biodiversity and micro-ecological processes on the transmission and persistency of diseases in farms: a multidisciplinary, adaptive research approach.
Background. Soil microbiota is responsible for the health and maintenance of the ecosystems, creating the greatest biodiversity in the world. Read more
