A natural capital lens for a sustainable bioeconomy: Determining the unrealised and unrecognised services from nature
(2020)Human activity has led to degradation of the natural environment, with far-reaching impacts for society and the economy, sparking new conceptual framings for how people interact with, and depend upon, the environment. The ... -
Nature-based solutions for urban climate change adaptation: linking the science, policy, and practice community for evidence-based decision-making
(2019)Nature-based solutions offer an exciting prospect for resilience building and advancing urban planning to address complex urban challenges simultaneously. In this article, we formulated through a coproduction process in ... -
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 ... -
Operationalizing urban resilience through a framework for adaptive co-management and design: five experiments in urban planning practice and policy
(2016)The emergent discourse on social-ecological resilience can be understood as a response to the rapid pace of change and severe challenges facing urban areas. This paper reports on one strand of research being carried out ... -

Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests
(2018)Identifying and explaining regional differences in tropical forest dynamics, structure, diversity, and composition are critical for anticipating region-specific responses to global environmental change. Floristic classifications ... -
Plant protection product residues in plant pollen and nectar: a review of current knowledge
(2020)Exposure to Plant Protection Products, PPPs, (fungicides, herbicides and insecticides) is a significant stressor for bees and other pollinators, and has recently been the focus of intensive debate and research. Specifically, ... -
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 ...
