Report
Huxham, M., Hartley, S., Pretty, J., & Tett, P. (2013). No dominion over nature: why treating ecosystems like machines will lead to boom and bust in food supply. London: Friends of the Earth England and Wales

Healthy ecosystems are essential for the long-term wellbeing of humans as they provide vital services such as food production, pollination, climate regulation and flood protection. Global trends including population growth, changing diets and consum... Read More about No dominion over nature: why treating ecosystems like machines will lead to boom and bust in food supply.

Mixed-Methods Research in Education: Exploring Students' Response to a Focused Feedback Initiative (2014)
Book Chapter
Scoles, J., Huxham, M., & McArthur, J. (2013). Mixed-Methods Research in Education: Exploring Students' Response to a Focused Feedback Initiative. In Sage Research MethodsSAGE Publications. doi:10.4135/978144627305013514690

Researchers who are interested in asking a number of questions about a particular phenomenon are increasingly looking to mixed methods as a useful research approach. In this case study, we discuss how mixed-methods research is situated in current deb...

Rapid Losses of Surface Elevation following Tree Girdling and Cutting in Tropical Mangroves (2014)
Journal Article
Lang'at, J. K. S., Kairo, J. G., Mencuccini, M., Bouillon, S., Skov, M. W., Waldron, S., & Huxham, M. (2014). Rapid Losses of Surface Elevation following Tree Girdling and Cutting in Tropical Mangroves. PLOS ONE, 9(9), Article e107868. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0107868

The importance of mangrove forests in carbon sequestration and coastal protection has been widely acknowledged. Large-scale damage of these forests, caused by hurricanes or clear felling, can enhance vulnerability to erosion, subsidence and rapid car...

Turning the Tide: How Blue Carbon and Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) Might Help Save Mangrove Forests (2014)
Journal Article
Locatelli, T., Binet, T., Kairo, J. G., King, L., Madden, S., Patenaude, G., …Huxham, M. (2014). Turning the Tide: How Blue Carbon and Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) Might Help Save Mangrove Forests. AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 43,

In this review paper, we aim to describe the potential for, and the key challenges to, applying PES projects to mangroves. By adopting a “carbocentric approach,” we show that mangrove forests are strong candidates for PES projects. They are particula...
