The doctoral journey as decolonial praxis: Self‐formation of Global South students in UK higher education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous research concerning Global South doctoral students in the United Kingdom has mainly situated their experiences within adaptationist paradigms, emphasising cultural adjustment and assimilation into Western academic norms. Such studies often depict students as passive recipients, overlooking their agency and the transformative potential

Acid sulfate soils and their management for brackishwater fishponds [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The major problems of fishponds build on acid sulfate soils are low pH; ionic imbalance and toxic levels of aluminum, iron, and sulfate; deficiency of phosphorus and poor response to fertilizer application; slow and poor growth of fish food organisms and

Distribution characteristics of available trace elements in soil from a reclaimed land in a mining area of north Shaanxi, China

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2013
Through field and laboratory tests we studied the temporal and spatial variation in the soil content of four available trace elements :copper(Cu), iron(Fe), manganese(Mn) and zinc (Zn), to analyze their distribution characteristics in reclaimed mining ...

More‐than‐gender? Moving beyond gendered expectations of divergent learners in early childhood education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we explore how neurodivergent ways of being in early education are often gendered. The intersectionalities of gender and neurodivergence often lead to fixed expectations that perpetuate binary interpretations, pathologisations, missed diagnoses and a lack of curated support.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Soil transplants as a mine reclamation technique for rehabilitating soil microbial communities

open access: yes, 2018
Overburden and tailings requiring reclamation at mine sites are nutrient deficient, have poor physical structure and lack developed biological communities, which can be a barrier to revegetation.

Converse effects of warming and reclamation on methane uptake in alpine meadows

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Climate warming will lead to changes in soil properties, which in turn will affect the uptake of methane (CH4) in meadows. Currently there is artificial reclamation of alpine meadows, and the effect of reclamation on CH4 uptake in alpine meadow ...

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Taxonomic and functional shifts in soil nematode communities following estuarine island reclamation

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Coastal land reclamation dramatically alters ecosystem structure and trajectories of ecological succession, yet knowledge about soil faunal colonization and community assembly in reclaimed coastal land is scarce.

Valuation of natural assets of some raised peat bogs against a background of Bieszczady Mts. landscape of the Lutowiska district

open access: yesEnvironmental Protection and Natural Resources, 2014
Na terenie „Krainy dolin” w Bieszczadach Zachodnich zachodzą obecnie niekorzystne zmiany sukcesyjne polegające między innymi na wymieraniu cennych gatunków roślin, a niekiedy nawet całych zespołów roślinnych oraz zanik mozaikowego układu biocenotycznego.
