Zoom into Soil: Soils through agriculture, restoration and agroforestry
In this webinar, Dr. Emily Guest and Dr Sam Hibdige from BSSS Corporate Member, Cranfield University, discuss soils through different perspectives in agriculture, restoration and agroforestry.
Dr Emily Guest is a Research Fellow in Soil and Plant Science at Cranfield University and will speak about her work on the Nitrogen Climate Smart (NCS) project, which aims to increase the frequency of legumes in crop rotations to reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. Her wider research interests focus on land management strategies that enhance agro-ecosystem sustainability at the rotation scale, for example through the incorporation of leys and legumes. Emily is also interested in harnessing new technologies in farming systems to generate actionable insights that support decision making for improved farm productivity and profitability.
Dr Sam Hibdige is a Research Fellow in Soil Microbial Metagenomics at Cranfield University and will be speaking on ‘Changes in the soil microbiome during restoration’. Sam is a bioinformatician who is interested in the changes of structure and function of soil microbial communities. He is currently focused on analysing amplicon sequences between restoration sites of different land use practises to ensure resilient restored ecosystems.
