Coriander yield decline: potential management options (2019)
Thesis
Jones, A. L. Coriander yield decline: potential management options. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2086260

Crop yield decline is increasingly associated with the intensive practices of modern agriculture. It affects a wide range of crops, including Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), the UK’s most economically important herb. The crop suffers from a partic...

The Lions' Gate: Towards a Permaculture-inspired Blended Space (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Egan, C., Thompson, R., & O'Dowd, A. (2019, June). The Lions' Gate: Towards a Permaculture-inspired Blended Space. Presented at Computing Within Limits - ICT4Sustainability, Lappeenranta, Finland

In light of the devastating ecological effects of climate breakdown and with human well-being under severe stress, this paper presents The Lions' Gate-an in-development, urban, interactive permaculture project on-campus in Edinburgh, Scotland. We arg... Read More about The Lions' Gate: Towards a Permaculture-inspired Blended Space.

Journal Article
Peerawat, M., Blaud, A., Trap, J., Chevallier, T., Alonso, P., Gay, F., Thaler, P., Spor, A., Sebag, D., Choosai, C., Suvannang, N., Sajjaphan, K., & Brauman, A. (2018). Rubber plantation ageing controls soil biodiversity after land conversion from cassava. Agriculture, ecosystems & environment, 257, 92-102. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2018.01.034

The rapid expansion of perennial crops is a major threat to biodiversity in Southeast Asia. The biodiversity losses related to the conversion of forest lands to oil palm or rubber plantations (RP) are well documented by recent studies. However, the i...
