Research Intrest

Research focuses on plant responses to pollutant deposition and the effects of global change on ecosystem processes. This includes studies of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on semi-natural grasslands, heathlands and bogs in the UK and the effects of increased temperature, elevated CO2 and enhanced UV-B radiation on arctic heathlands. The latter continues a long-standing research interest in the adaptations of plants to growth in extreme environments.
