  • Biomass distributions in dwarf tree, krummholz, and tundra vegetation in the alpine treeline ecotone 
    Grafius, Darren R.; Malanson, George (Taylor and Francis, 2015-06-09)
    Alpine treeline ecotones are expected to respond to climate change with shifts in biomass patterns and carbon dynamics; however, the nature of these shifts and the current structure of carbon storage at treeline remain ...
  • A datamining approach to identifying spatial patterns of phosphorus forms in the Stormwater Treatment Areas in the Everglades 
    Corstanje, Ronald; Grafius, Darren R.; Zawadzka, Joanna; Moreira Barradas, Joao; Vince, G.; Ivanoff, D.; Pietro, K. (Elsevier, 2016-10-18)
    The Everglades ecosystem in Florida, USA, is naturally phosphorus (P) limited, and faces threats of ecosystem change and associated losses to habitat, biodiversity, and ecosystem function if subjected to high inflows of P ...
  • Ecological connectivity networks in rapidly expanding cities 
    Nor, Amal Najihah Muhamad; Corstanje, Ronald; Harris, Jim A.; Grafius, Darren R.; Siriwardena, Gavin M. (Elsevier, 2017-06-23)
    Urban expansion increases fragmentation of the landscape. In effect, fragmentation decreases connectivity, causes green space loss and impacts upon the ecology and function of green space. Restoration of the functionality ...
  • Estimating food production in an urban landscape 
    Grafius, Darren R.; Edmondson, Jill L.; Norton, Briony A.; Clark, Rachel; Mears, Meghann; Leake, Jonathan R.; Corstanje, Ronald; Harris, Jim A.; Warren, Philip H. (Nature Publishing Group, 2020-03-20)
    There is increasing interest in urban food production for reasons of food security, environmental sustainability, social and health benefits. In developed nations urban food growing is largely informal and localised, in ...
  • Evolution of green space under rapid urban expansion in Southeast Asian cities 
    Muhamad Nor, Amal Najihah; Abdul Aziz, Hasifah; Nawawi, Siti Aisyah; Muhammad Jamil, Rohazaini; Abas, Muhamad Azahar; Hambali, Kamarul Ariffin; Yusoff, Abdul Hafidz; Ibrahim, Norfadhilah; Rafaai, Nur Hairunnisa; Corstanje, Ron; Harris, Jim A.; Grafius, Darren R.; Perotto-Baldivieso, Humberto L. (MDPI, 2021-10-30)
    Globally, rapid urban expansion has caused green spaces in urban areas to decline considerably. In this study, the rapid expansion of three Southeast Asia cities were considered, namely, Kuala Lumpur City, Malaysia; Jakarta, ...
  • The impact of land use/land cover scale on modelling urban ecosystem services 
    Grafius, Darren R.; Corstanje, Ronald; Warren, Philip H.; Evans, Karl L.; Hancock, Steven; Harris, Jim A. (Springer, 2016-01-19)
    Context Urbanisation places increasing stress on ecosystem services; however existing methods and data for testing relationships between service delivery and urban landscapes remain imprecise and uncertain. Unknown ...
  • Infrastructure interdependencies: opportunities from complexity 
    Grafius, Darren R.; Varga, Liz; Jude, Simon (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020-07-21)
    Infrastructure networks, such as those for energy, transportation, and telecommunications, perform key functions for society. Although such systems have largely been developed and managed in isolation, infrastructure now ...
  • Urban meadows as an alternative to short mown grassland: effects of composition and height on biodiversity 
    Norton, Briony A.; Bending, Gary D.; Rachel Clark, Rachel; Corstanje, Ronald; Dunnett, Nigel; Evans, Karl L.; Grafius, Darren R.; Gravestock, Emily; Grice, Samuel M.; Harris, Jim A.; Hilton, Sally; Hoyle, Helen; Lim, Edward; Mercer, Theresa G.; Pawlett, Mark; Pescott, Oliver L.; Richards, J. Paul; Southon, Georgina E.; Warren, Philip H. (Ecological Society of America, 2019-07-22)
    There are increasing calls to provide greenspace in urban areas, yet the ecological quality, as well as quantity, of greenspace is important. Short mown grassland designed for recreational use is the dominant form of urban ...
  • Using GIS-linked Bayesian Belief Networks as a tool for modelling urban biodiversity 
    Grafius, Darren R.; Corstanje, Ronald; Warren, Philip H.; Evans, Karl L.; Norton, Briony A.; Siriwardena, Gavin M.; Pescott, Oliver L.; Plummer, Kate E.; Mears, Meghann; Zawadzka, Joanna; Richards, J. Paul; Harris, Jim A. (Elsevier, 2019-05-30)
    The ability to predict spatial variation in biodiversity is a long-standing but elusive objective of landscape ecology. It depends on a detailed understanding of relationships between landscape and patch structure and ...
