Personal profile
Overview
My PhD Research is focusing on understanding how small wetland ecosystems can benefit both nature and humans. It aims to understand and establish socio-ecological and cross-sectoral values held for ponds in agricultural areas.
Some Key areas of focus are:
Understanding how small wetlands facilitate and deliver both Ecosystem Services (ES) and Natures Contributions to People (NCP).
and
How small wetlands are influenced by Agri-Environmental policies.
It is titled ''Ponds for Wildlife and People: Quantifying opportunities for wetland creation in agricultural landscapes''
