Nitrate pollution in intensively farmed regions: What are the prospects for sustaining high-quality groundwater? (2011)
Journal Article
Howden, N., Burt, T., Worrall, F., Mathias, S., & Whelan, M. (2011). Nitrate pollution in intensively farmed regions: What are the prospects for sustaining high-quality groundwater?. Water Resources Research, 47(6), Article W00L02. https://doi.org/10.1029/2011wr010843

[1] Widespread pollution of groundwater by nutrients due to 20th century agricultural intensification has been of major concern in the developed world for several decades. This paper considers the River Thames catchment (UK), where water-quality moni...

Change in runoff initiation probability over a severe drought in a peat soil – Implications for flowpaths. (2007)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Burt, T., & Adamson, J. (2007). Change in runoff initiation probability over a severe drought in a peat soil – Implications for flowpaths. Journal of Hydrology, 345(1-2), 16-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2007.07.008

Severe drying of soils can lead to cracking and thus the generation of new hydrological pathways. In soils that show hydrophobic behaviour upon drying, it is possible that such flowpaths survive beyond the period of the drought that caused the initia...

Environmental change in moorland landscapes (2007)
Journal Article
Holden, J., Shotbolt, L., Bonn, A., Burt, T., Chapman, P., Dougill, A., …Worrall, F. (2007). Environmental change in moorland landscapes. Earth-Science Reviews, 82(1-2), 75-100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2007.01.003

Moorlands are unique environments found in uplands of the temperate zone including in the UK, New Zealand and Ireland, and in some high altitude tropical zones such as the Andean páramos. Many have been managed through grazing, burning or drainage pr... Read More about Environmental change in moorland landscapes.
