Sussex University, The River Ouse Project

This interdisciplinary project will integrate ecological and historical research to show how everyday human land-use might be managed to ensure biodiversity objectives. The project focuses on grassland and woodland habitats in upper inundation areas of the River Ouse in Sussex where recent theoretical work suggests that flood alleviation measures could be linked to biodiversity objectives. There are three phases to the project: ecological survey and historical research; field experiments; and eventually grassland enhancement projects linked to flood alleviation.
