Personal profile
Research
My research focuses on plant communities, pollinators and management. I am currently working on the EU project Safeguard, which focuses on developing an integrated assessment framework for addressing pollinator decline.
I am a co-principal (co-PI) for two long-term grassland experiments. The RECOVER experiment which aims to understand plant community assembly to disturbance, is part of the global collaborative projects DRAGNet and NutNet. The long-term grazing experiment (excluding rabbits, sheep and cattle) was established in 1974 by Sally Edmonson. This grazing experiment aims to understand how plant communities respond to grazing pressures.
I am a trustee of the British Ecological Society (BES), and trustee of the Ecological Continuity Trust. Within the BES, I chair the Early Career Working Group (ECWG) and am co-chair of the SEED network (first-generation and working class ecologists).
