| The imapct of tractor wheelings on soil structure and biogeochemical processes |  |
|
This project aims understand how tractor wheelings impact on soil structure and how this effects biogeochemical cycling and how these effects may be mitigated against. It is a collaborative project between Lancaster University, ADAS and a large number of industrial partners. It is funded by the Defra Arable LINK 2009-2012 |

| Mitigation of phosphorus and sediment 2 |  |
|
This project aims to develop and cost ways of controlling the losses of sediment and phosphorus in overland flow from arable agriculture. MOPS 2 will focus on the use of ponds and wetlands and the control of erosion in spring crops. It is a collaborative project between Lancaster University, the Allerton Trust, ADAS and Reading University and isfunded by Defra 2008-2013 |

| Mitigation of phosphorus and sediment 1 |  |
|
This project aims to develop and cost ways of controlling the losses of sediment and phosphorus in overland flow from arable agriculture. It is a collaborative project between Lancaster University, ADAS and Reading University and isfunded by Defra Completed 2008 |

Multi-dimentional soil erosion:experiments and modelling This project is investigating the fundamental processes controlling the transport of contaminants in overland flow and is developing new ways of modelling their movement. The project is a collaboration between Loughborough University and Lancaster University. 2007-2010 |

Modelling phosphorus losses to water Thi work was part of a larger Defra projectand aims to develop methods for predicting the transfer of phosphorus from soils to water taking into account the inherent uncertainties in data and models. This project was a collaboration between IGER, Plymouth University, Exeter University, CEH and Lancaster University. Completed 2008
