Evaluating the Measurement of Activated Sludge Foam Potential.
(2011)The most widely used technique for assessing the propensity of activated sludge to suffer from biological foaming is to measure foam potential. This involves measuring the amount of foam produced from sludge under conditions ... -

Nectar chemistry modulates the impact of an invasive plant on native pollinators
(2016)1. Invasive species are considered a main driver of pollinator declines, yet the direct effects of invasive alien plants on pollinators are poorly understood. 2. Abundant, invasive plant species can ... -
Plant responses to decadal scale increments in atmospheric CO2 concentration: comparing two stomatal conductance sampling methods
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)Our study demonstrated that the species respond non-linearly to increases in CO2 concentration when exposed to decadal changes in CO2, representing the year 1987, 2025, 2051, and 2070, respectively. There are several lines ... -
Pollinator selection against toxic nectar as a key facilitator of a plant invasion
(2022)Plant compounds associated with herbivore defence occur widely in floral nectar and can impact pollinator health. We showed previously that Rhododendron ponticum nectar contains grayanotoxin I (GTX I) at concentrations ...
