Our Research
Our research is considering the impact of carbon sequestration and ways in which soil health might be measured using applied technologies and data sciences.
Research Projects
SPECTRA - Whole plant spectral response models - optimised greenhouse light environments, modelling whole plant responses to spectral quality
This project focuses on the responses of whole plants to spectral quality. Exploring at a whole plant level our known understanding of key physiological responses to light, including impacts on crop photosynthesis, phenology and photomorphology.
