The saltmarshes of south-east England have been eroding rapidly for about the last 50 years, at a continuing rate of about 40 ha year^-1, with deleteri...

Adaptive management involves the development of predictive models, strategic manipulation of management actions to gain information, and subsequent up...

The decline of managed honeybees and the rapid expansion of mass-flowering crops increase the risk of pollination limitation in crops and raise questi...

Pesticides applied to seeds before sowing may present a high risk to seed-eating birds. Some of these chemicals are highly toxic but are avoided by ca...

Pollination shortfalls affect yield of many crops, and the use of managed honeybee colonies is a common practice for addressing the problem. However, ...
