Investigating the Potential Consequences of Woodland Creation for British Mammal Populations

open access: yesMammal Review, EarlyView.
We simulated the conversion of suitable areas in the UK to woodland, according to the current and target woodland creation rates, and assessed how this would affect habitat availability and potential population sizes of British mammals. We predicted that most assessed mammals would benefit or be unaffected by planned woodland creation, but some ...

Rooting for function: community‐level fine‐root traits relate to many ecosystem functions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Humans are driving biodiversity change, which also alters community functional traits. However, how changes in the functional traits of the community alter ecosystem functions—especially belowground—remains an important gap in our understanding of the consequences of biodiversity change.

Consequences of Cadmium exposure on growth and reproduction across three generations of earthworm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Heavy metal pollution disturbs the soil ecosystem by negatively affecting soil fauna and flora. In term of biomass and activity Annelids are a very important part of the soil invertebrate community.

Print Conventions and Authority in Three English Recipe Manuscripts

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article considers the uses of stylistic and visual conventions drawn from print books in three seventeenth‐ and eighteenth‐century recipe manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania. We begin by analysing the title page, dedicatory epistle, catchwords, and headers of MS Codex 627, which imitates an edition of Hugh Plat's Delights for ...

The role of earthworms in nitrogen release from herbage residues : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Soil Science at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Decomposition and nutrient release from pasture litter were examined in two biotic systems; either with or without large organisms ("macrobes"). Earthworms were the test macrobe and nitrogen (N) the test nutrient. This experiment addressed the hypothesis

Corn cob pyrolysis: A systematic literature review of methods and applications

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 103, Issue 11, Page 5520-5585, November 2025.
Mapping the research landscape of corn cob pyrolysis. Abstractas The agricultural sector is experiencing a surge in waste generation due to population growth, creating an urgent need to convert byproducts into value‐added products. Maize (Zea mays L.), a leading global crop, produces significant byproducts, such as corn cob, which are often undervalued.

Comparative Analysis of Bacterial Community Structures in Earthworm Skin, Gut, and Habitat Soil across Typical Temperate Forests

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Earthworms are essential components in temperate forest ecosystems, yet the patterns of change in earthworm-associated microbial communities across different temperate forests remain unclear.

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...
