1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Long term development of earthworm communities in naturally colonised, compared to planted woodland
Summary of PhD Program:
Forest Research (FR) has been investigating newly planted trees, areas of natural tree colonisation, and mature woodland, in research that has made use of matched chronosequence sites (from 5 to 60 years old) from across England (n>35 of triplicated sites). To date, this work has revealed interesting findings with respect to aboveground tree diversity, biomass, and structure, in addition to belowground carbon status, nutrient content, and specific aspects of biodiversity (bacteria, fungi, mesofauna, and nematodes).
The proposed research will build upon this network of sites and link with the DEFRA Nature of Climate Fund and is a collaboration between FR and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). This project aims to investigate a further aspect of biodiversity, namely earthworms, within these chronosequence sites. As earthworms are ecosystem engineers, they are likely to have a major impact on soil dynamics and ecosystem functioning.
