Application of organic amendments to restore soil health and productivity of a degraded soil.

Unagwu, Benedict Onyebuchi (2017-04)

Organic amendments (OAs) have the capacity to enhance physical, chemical, biological soil quality indicators (SQIs) and to improve soil productivity. This study investigated the effects of different OAs (Mushroom Compost, ...
Controlling soil erosion in a changing climate: evaluating suitable plant species in grassed waterway design.

Lees, Corina (2022-04)

Soil erosion is a global problem which needs mitigating due to the on-site and off- site impacts it causes. Soil erosion is set to become an even greater problem due to climate change. Climate change is likely to increase ...
Filter socks to mitigate sediment, sediment-bound phosphate and orthophosphate losses, from arable lands under extreme rainfall events.

Cooke, Alexandra (2018-02)

Agricultural diffuse pollution is a major environmental issue within the UK. Within England alone, sediment and phosphates in agricultural runoff account for 2967 rivers failing their Water Framework Directive (WFD) water ...
The microbiology of arable soil surfaces

Jeffery, Simon (Cranfield University, 2007-10)

Whilst much is known about the physics and erosion of soil surfaces on a millimetre scale, little is known about the associated microbiology, particularly in temperate arable systems. The vast majority of research regarding ...
Optimising conservation tillage systems for wheat and oilseed rape production.

Giannitsopoulos, Michail (2017-02)

The aims of the thesis are to determine the effect of different conservation tillage systems on the agronomic, environmental and economic performance of a wheat and oilseed rape rotation, and to understand the processes ...
Optimising soil disturbance and mulch attenuation for erosion and runoff control in asparagus crops

Niziolomski, Joanna (Cranfield University, 2014-12)

Exposure of bare soil for long periods and onsite compaction create soil and water problems in asparagus production. This project aims to develop a cost effective and practical runoff and soil erosion management system. ...
Polymer-based treatments to control runoff, leachate and erosion from engineered slopes at Simfer Mine, Guinea, Africa

Campbell, Stephanie (Cranfield University, 2013-05)

It is necessary to understand the erodibility and hydrological response of mine-site slope forming materials (SFMs), because of increasing awareness of the environmental impacts of mining. Steep engineered slopes in high ...
Practical soil protection and stabilization in Mediterranean viticulture

Llewellyn, C. A., (Cranfield University, Cranfield University at SilsoeCranfield University at Silsoe, 2006-11-01)

The accelerated erosion of soil by water from Mediterranean hill-slopes under viticulture is a major problem. It is largely a result of the land management techniques employed and their influence on soil protection, structure ...
The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales

Cooper, Sophie E. (Cranfield UniversityNational Soil Resources Institute, 2006-11)

Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, ...
