Effects of species richness, identity and environmental variables on growth in planted mangroves in Kenya (2012)
Journal Article
Kirui, B. K. Y., Kairo, J. G., Skov, M. W., Mencuccini, M., & Huxham, M. (2012). Effects of species richness, identity and environmental variables on growth in planted mangroves in Kenya. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 465, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps09999

Anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity across a wide range of ecosystems are well documented; however the responses of ecosystems to reduced diversity are still poorly understood. We investigated the effects of species richness, species identity and e... Read More about Effects of species richness, identity and environmental variables on growth in planted mangroves in Kenya.

Species mixing boosts root yield in mangrove trees (2012)
Journal Article
Lang'at, J. K. S., Kirui, B. K. Y., Skov, M. W., Kairo, J. G., Mencuccini, M., & Huxham, M. (2013). Species mixing boosts root yield in mangrove trees. Oecologia, 172(1), 271-278. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-012-2490-x

Enhanced species richness can stimulate the productivity of plant communities; however, its effect on the belowground production of forests has scarcely been tested, despite the role of tree roots in carbon storage and ecosystem processes. Therefore,... Read More about Species mixing boosts root yield in mangrove trees.

No longer exempt from good practice: using exemplars to close the feedback gap for exams (2012)
Journal Article
Scoles, J., Huxham, M., & McArthur, J. (2013). No longer exempt from good practice: using exemplars to close the feedback gap for exams. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 38(6), 631-645. https://doi.org/10.1080/02602938.2012.674485

In this paper, we discuss the anomaly between the increasing interest in feedback in current education research, the continued role of time-limited, unseen examinations as a form of assessment and the dearth of literature on feedback related to such...
