The influence of coal mine spoil physical properties on the spatial distribution of lichen-rich communities (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Whitlock, D., Rickson, J., Humphries, N., Thompson, R., & Tibbett, M. (2015, June). The influence of coal mine spoil physical properties on the spatial distribution of lichen-rich communities. Presented at Mine Closure 2015

Coal mine spoil tips have been recognised as a UK Biodiversity Action Plan habitat owing to the presence of a host of unique flora and fauna assemblages and, in particular, " lichen heaths. " The natural revegetation of abandoned spoil tips in South... Read More about The influence of coal mine spoil physical properties on the spatial distribution of lichen-rich communities.

Development of a method for the production of hemicellulosic gels from Sitka Spruce. (2007)

Timber can be used as a sustainable source for process chemicals (Silvichemicals), with particular emphasis being placed on wood as source of chemical feedstocks. Bulk Silvichemicals are unlikely to be cost competitive with fossil fuel derived chemic... Read More about Development of a method for the production of hemicellulosic gels from Sitka Spruce..

Detection of β-1-4-galactan in compression wood of Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carrière) by immunofluorescence. (2007)
Journal Article
Hapca, A. I., Altaner, C., Knox, J. P., & Jarvis, M. C. (2007). Detection of β-1-4-galactan in compression wood of Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carrière) by immunofluorescence. Holzforschung, 61(3), 311-316. https://doi.org/10.1515/HF.2007.049

β-1-4-Galactan has been detected in Sitka spruce [Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carrière] by an immunofluorescence procedure. The anti-β-1-4-galactan monoclonal antibody LM5 was found to bind to compression wood (CW) tissue as identified by cell morpholog...

1. The influence of current velocity on the pattern of photosynthetic CO2 uptake in three species of submerged stream macrophytes was described by analysing the grain density in autoradiographs of leaves exposed to 14CO2.

2. In Elodea canadensis,... Read More about CO2 uptake patterns depend on water current velocity and shoot morphology in submerged stream macrophytes..

Photosynthetic responses to Cu2+ exposure are independent of light acclimation and uncoupled from growth inhibition in Fucus serratus (Phaeophyceae). (2005)
Journal Article
Nielsen, H. D., & Nielsen, S. L. (2005). Photosynthetic responses to Cu2+ exposure are independent of light acclimation and uncoupled from growth inhibition in Fucus serratus (Phaeophyceae). Marine Pollution Bulletin, 51(8-12), 715-721. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2005.02.016

We have studied the effect of light acclimation on photosynthetic responses and growth during Cu2+ exposure (0–0.84 μM) in the brown seaweed Fucus serratus. Measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters showed that Cu2+ exposure amplified ETR,...

A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paterson, T., Kennedy, J., Pullan, M. R., Cannon, A., Armstrong, K. E., Watson, M. F., Raguenaud, C., McDonald, S. M., & Russell, G. (2004, March). A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. Presented at Data Integration in the Life Sciences. First International Workshop, DILS 2004

Taxonomists classify biological specimens into groups (taxa) on the basis of similarities between their observed features (characters). The description of these characters is therefore central to taxonomy, but there is currently no agreed model, defi...
