Site-specific factors in the production of local urban ecosystem services : a case study of community-managed green space (2016)
Journal Article

Pockets of green space in cities can provide important ecosystem services for urban residents. As naturalistic spaces in urban areas become increasingly sparse, communities are beginning to co-manage existing incidental pockets of land towards the cr...

Tree and timberline shifts in the northern Romanian Carpathians during the Holocene and the responses to environmental changes (2016)
Journal Article
Feurdean, A., Gałka, M., Tantau, I., Geanta, A., Hutchinson, S., & Hickler, T. (2016). Tree and timberline shifts in the northern Romanian Carpathians during the Holocene and the responses to environmental changes. Quaternary Science Reviews, 134, 100-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.12.020

High altitude environments are experiencing more rapid changes in temperature than the global average
with the risk of losing essential ecosystem services in mountain environments. The Carpathians
Mountains are regarded as hosting Europe's most pri... Read More about Tree and timberline shifts in the northern Romanian Carpathians during the Holocene and the responses to environmental changes.

Inter-annual ciliate distribution variation within the late stratification oxycline in a monomictic lake, Lake Alchichica (Mexico) (2016)
Journal Article
Sánchez-Medina, X., Macek, M., Bautista-Reyes, F., Perz, A., Bonilla Lemus, P., & Chávez Arteaga, M. (2016). Inter-annual ciliate distribution variation within the late stratification oxycline in a monomictic lake, Lake Alchichica (Mexico). Journal of Limnology, 75(1s), 179-190. https://doi.org/10.4081/jlimnol.2016.1440

Deep stratified tropical water bodies pass through prolonged periods of meta-hypolimnetic anoxia, and ciliates might play a very
important role in the plankton community budget there. We analysed changes in the composition and biomass of the ciliate... Read More about Inter-annual ciliate distribution variation within the late stratification oxycline in a monomictic lake, Lake Alchichica (Mexico).

Perfluoroalkyl substances, sex hormones, and insulin-like growth factor-1 at 6–9 Years of age : a cross-sectional analysis within the C8 health project (2016)
Journal Article
a cross-sectional analysis within the C8 health project. Environmental Health Perspectives, 124(8), 1269-1275. https://doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1509869

Background: Exposure to some perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as perfluorohexane sulfonate
(PFHxS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and perfluorononanoic acid
(PFNA), may alter levels of sex hormones and insulin-l... Read More about Perfluoroalkyl substances, sex hormones, and insulin-like growth factor-1 at 6–9 Years of age : a cross-sectional analysis within the C8 health project.

Excavating Engels : the archaeological investigations of workers' housing in Manchester and Salford, 2001 to 2017 (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Nevell, M. (2016, January). Excavating Engels : the archaeological investigations of workers' housing in Manchester and Salford, 2001 to 2017. Presented at Excavating Engels: exploring the archaeology of Manchester’s industrial housing, Royal Northern College of Music

Since 2001, archaeological work ahead of redevelopment within the city of Manchester, and central Salford, has been targeting the excavation of workers’ housing from the 18th and 19th centuries. Over 20 sites have been looked at and the remains of se... Read More about Excavating Engels : the archaeological investigations of workers' housing in Manchester and Salford, 2001 to 2017.

Mobilization of soil-borne arsenic by three common organic acids : dosage and time effects (2016)
Journal Article
Onireti,, O., & Chuxia, L. (2016). Mobilization of soil-borne arsenic by three common organic acids : dosage and time effects. Chemosphere, 147, 352-360. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2015.12.129

A batch experiment was conducted to investigate the mobilization of soil-borne arsenic by three common low-molecular-weight organic acids with a focus on dosage and time effects. The results show that oxalic acid behaved differently from citric acid... Read More about Mobilization of soil-borne arsenic by three common organic acids : dosage and time effects.

Automated classification of urban locations for environmental noise impact assessment on the basis of road-traffic content (2016)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., & Ruiz, D. (2016). Automated classification of urban locations for environmental noise impact assessment on the basis of road-traffic content. Expert systems with applications, 53, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2016.01.011

Urban and road planners must take right decisions related to urban traffic management
and controlling noise pollution. Their assessments and resolutions have important consequences on the
annoyance of population exposed to road-traffic... Read More about Automated classification of urban locations for environmental noise impact assessment on the basis of road-traffic content.
