Current PhD studies

The Floodplain Meadows Partnership and the Open University are currently supporting three new PhD students. These students are all working on different aspects of floodplain meadows. These pages will be updated once they have further information about their projects.

Jim McGinlay: In assessing floodplain meadows what do the different criteria used in the various assessment methods tell us about the composition of the plant community?  

Sonia Newman: Control of an aggressive plant species through cutting regime on floodplain meadows

Katherine Wotherspoon: Availability of soil nutrients as a determinant of plant community composition in floodplain meadows
