  • A bird's eye view: using circuit theory to study urban landscape connectivity for birds 
    Grafius, Darren Ronald; Corstanje, Ronald; Siriwardena, Gavin M.; Plummer, Kate E.; Harris, Jim A. (Springer, 2017-06-28)
    Context Connectivity is fundamental to understanding how landscape form influences ecological function. However, uncertainties persist due to the difficulty and expense of gathering empirical data to drive or to validate ...
  • 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 ...
  • Small Water Bodies in Great Britain and Ireland: Ecosystem function, human-generated degradation, and options for restorative action 
    Riley, William D.; Potter, Edward C. E.; Biggs, Jeremy; Collins, Adrian L.; Jarvie, Helen P.; Jones, J. Iwan; Kelly-Quinn, Mary; Ormerod, Steve J.; Sear, David A.; Wilby, Robert L.; Broadmeadow, Samantha; Brown, Colin D.; Chanin, Paul; Copp, Gordon H.; Cowx, Ian G.; Grogan, Adam; Hornby, Duncan D.; Huggett, Duncan; Kelly, Martyn G.; Naura, Marc; Newman, Jonathan R.; Siriwardena, Gavin M. (Elsevier, 2018-07-26)
    Small, 1st and 2nd-order, headwater streams and ponds play essential roles in providing natural flood control, trapping sediments and contaminants, retaining nutrients, and maintaining biological diversity, which extend ...
  • 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 ...
  • What do we need to know to enhance the environmental sustainability of agricultural production? A prioritisation of knowledge needs for the UK food system 
    Dicks, Lynn V.; Bardgett, Richard D.; Bell, Jenny; Benton, Tim G.; Booth, Angela; Bouwman, Jan; Brown, Chris; Bruce, Ann; Burgess, Paul J.; Butler, Simon J.; Crute, Ian; Dixon, Frances; Drummond, Caroline; Freckleton, Robert P.; Gill, Maggie; Graham, Andrea; Hails, Rosie S.; Hallett, James; Hart, Beth; Hillier, Jon G.; Holland, John M.; Huxley, Jonathan N.; Ingram, John S. I.; King, Vanessa; MacMillan, Tom; McGonigle, Daniel F.; McQuaid, Carmel; Nevard, Tim; Norman, Steve; Norris, Ken; Pazderka, Catherine; Poonaji, Inder; Quinn, Claire Helen; Ramsden, S. J.; Sinclair, Duncan; Siriwardena, Gavin M.; Vickery, Juliet A.; Whitmore, A. P.; Wolmer, William; Sutherland, William J. (MDPI, 2013-07-17)
    Abstract: Increasing concerns about global environmental change and food security have focused attention on the need for environmentally sustainable agriculture. This is agriculture that makes efficient use of natural ...
