Changes in organic carbon to clay ratios in different soils and land uses in England and Wales over time

Prout, Jonah M.; Shepherd, Keith D.; McGrath, Steve P.; Kirk, Guy J. D.; Hassall, Kirsty L.; Haefele, Stephan M. (Springer Nature, 2022-03-25)

Realistic targets for soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations are needed, accounting for differences between soils and land uses. We assess the use of SOC/clay ratio for this purpose by comparing changes over time in (a) ...
Long-term Impact of sewage sludge application on rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii: an evaluation using meta-analysis

Charlton, Alex; Sakrabani, Ruben; McGrath, Steve P.; Colin D. Campbell, Colin D. (American Society of Agronomy; Crop Science Society of America; Soil Science Society of America, 2016-07-07)

The Long-Term Sludge Experiment (LTSE) began in 1994 at nine UK field sites as part of continuing research into the effects of sludge-borne heavy metals on soil fertility. The long-term effects of Zn, Cu, and Cd on the ...
Long-term impact of sewage sludge application on soil microbial biomass: An evaluation using meta-analysis

Charlton, Alex; Sakrabani, Ruben; Tyrrel, Sean F.; Rivas Casado, Monica; McGrath, Steve P.; Crooks, Bill; Cooper, Pat; Campbell, Colin D. (Elsevier, 2016-08-04)

The Long-Term Sludge Experiments (LTSE) began in 1994 as part of continuing research into the effects of sludge-borne heavy metals on soil fertility. The long-term effects of Zn, Cu, and Cd on soil microbial biomass carbon ...
Nanoparticles within WWTP sludges have minimal impact on leachate quality and soil microbial community structure and function

Durenkamp, Mark; Pawlett, Mark; Ritz, Karl; Harris, Jim A.; Neal, Andrew L.; McGrath, Steve P. (Elsevier, 2016-01-19)

One of the main pathways by which engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) enter the environment is through land application of waste water treatment plant (WWTP) sewage sludges. WWTP sludges, enriched with Ag and ZnO ENPs or their ...
On pedagogy of a Soil Science Centre for Doctoral Training

Haygarth, Philip M.; Lawrenson, Olivia; Mezeli, Malika; Sayer, Emma J.; McCloskey, Christopher S.; Evans, Daniel L.; Kirk, Guy J. D.; Tye, Andrew M.; Chadwick, David R.; McGrath, Steve P.; Mooney, Sacha J.; Paterson, Eric; Robinson, David A.; Jones, Davey L. (Wiley, 2021-10-13)

Here we describe and evaluate the success of a multi-institutional Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT), which was established to address a UK skills shortage in Soil Science. The government-funded ‘STARS’ (Soils Training ...
What is a good level of soil organic matter? An index based on organic carbon to clay ratio

Prout, Jonah M.; Shepherd, Keith D.; McGrath, Steve P.; Kirk, Guy J. D.; Haefele, Stephan M. (Wiley, 2020-06-12)

Simple measures of appropriate levels of soil organic matter are needed for soil evaluation, management and monitoring, based on readily‐measurable soil properties. We test an index of soil organic matter based on the soil ...
