I’m delighted to share our new paper on the implications of marsh harrier hunting and diet on breeding waders, after this (and more) being the body of my MSc dissertation 9(!) years ago at @UniKent with @RSPBScience doi.org/10.1080/00063657.202… 1/9

Calcareous grasslands are increasingly threatened by the dominance of tor grass – 📢our new paper examines methods for its control including the use of 1) herbicides & seeding and 2) cutting & grazing doi.org/10.1016/j.jnc.2024.1…

NEW! We've created the most comprehensive map of England's #hedgerows to date!
💡 390,000km of hedgerow on field boundaries
📏 Depicts hedgerow length & height (for 1st time!)
🔎 Reveals areas with highest & lowest hedgerow densities

We used the universal law of human mobility to map #nature-based #recreation in the #UK: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. It also makes a great proxy for access to many other #ecosystemservices. @UK_CEH @BritishEcolSoc @Simon_Willcock @RedheadGIS @IPBES @LRidding

Very useful paper led by @OliJWilson here; happy to have been able to be a part of it, and to have been able to demonstrate the future use of @theNPMS #data for investigating climate change impacts. Thanks also @BBCRadio4 for having me on #Today to talk about it early this am

New paper from @sacrevert and me in @JAppliedEcology ! We looked at the exposure of the UK's habitats to 20th- and 21st-Century climate changes, and tried to figure out how well our ecological monitoring schemes can help us understand the impacts: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Land use and species data from the 1930s have allowed us to do a long series of papers on historical ecology
In the 1st we presented the first direct evidence of taxonomic homogenisation in the UK showing this as a cause of woodland biodiversity loss

Excited to see our article published in @EcographyJourna's issue today! We find a negative habitat amount effect in the 1930s for calcareous grassland and heathland, but not in the 2010s. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @BecksSpake @JMBecologist @Sal_Keith

🌾 Can we see spatial patterns in GB crop rotations?
🌾 How well can we predict the next crop in a rotation?

Historical data contradict the Habitat Amount Hypothesis
We find unexpected negative HA relationships for the 1930s (but positive in 2000s)
We suggest the HAH is undermined by confounding of HA with other landscape variables
