Use of a nitrification inhibitor reduces nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from compacted grassland with different soil textures and climatic conditions (2021)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, P., Baker, K., Graceson, A., Bonnett, S., Ball, B., & Cloy, J. (2021). Use of a nitrification inhibitor reduces nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from compacted grassland with different soil textures and climatic conditions. Agriculture, ecosystems & environment, 310, Article 107307. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2021.107307

Grassland accounts for 70 % of the global agricultural area. Grassland amended with N fertiliser, although increasing productivity, encourages the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Soil compaction can result in impeded water movemen...

Soil compaction effects on grassland silage yields and soil structure under different levels of compaction over three years (2019)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, P., Baker, K., Graceson, A., Bonnett, S., Ball, B., & Cloy, J. (2019). Soil compaction effects on grassland silage yields and soil structure under different levels of compaction over three years.

Soil compaction has been estimated to be responsible for 33 million ha of soil degradation in Europe, reducing crop yields, however there is limited data on grassland silage yields loss. Extended grazing periods, increased size and weight of farm veh...

Degradation of metalaxyl-M in contrasting soils is influenced more by differences in physicochemical characteristics than in microbial community composition after re-inoculation of sterilised soils (2010)
Journal Article

Rates of degradation of pesticides by soil microorganisms are believed to depend on both microbial community composition and underlying soil physicochemical characteristics. The aim of this study was to determine which of these factors was more impor...
