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
ACCE+ DLA programme: The role of mycorrhizal fungi in tree species coexistence under global change
Background. Biodiversity is declining across the globe, with accompanying changes in species composition. Changes in the diversity and composition of aboveground and belowground communities, as well as their interactions, can profoundly influence the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. 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
ACCE+ DLA programme: The role of air pollution and climate change in achieving UK woodland carbon sequestration targets
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 - Can microrefugia buffer threatened species from climate change?
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_34: Agroforestry solutions: harnessing trees for climate resilience and food security
Global food security is threatened by intensifying climate change, with UK food production already severely affected1. Conventional farming practices (e.g. 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
Plant-insect interactions in a changing world
Project Overview: . Insects associated with plants comprise one of the most diverse groups of species on earth. Their impact on the ecology and evolution of their host plants is widely recognised, as is their contribution to multiple important ecosystem services. Read more
Improved methodology for the detection and pathogenesis of acute oak decline
Studentship Details. Acute Oak Decline (AOD) is a complex tree decline disease threatening the native oak species in the UK. Symptoms of AOD include stem bleeds and inner bark tissue necrosis, which can cause death of mature oaks within just three to five years of symptom onset. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Translocating an ecosystem engineer: the impact of wood ants on woodland communities
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
