The transfer of 137Cs, Pu isotopes and 90Sr to bird, bat and ground-dwelling small mammal species within the Chernobyl exclusion zone (2016)
Journal Article

Protected species are the focus of many radiological environmental assessments.
However, the lack of radioecological data for many protected species presents a
significant international challenge. Furthermore, there are legislative restrictions on... Read More about The transfer of 137Cs, Pu isotopes and 90Sr to bird, bat and ground-dwelling small mammal species within the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

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...

Journal Article
Sánchez-Medina, X., Macek, M., Bautista-Reyes, F., Perz, A., Bonilla Lemus, P., & Chávez Arteaga, M. (2016).
