Integrating livestock into arable rotations: Unlocking soil and system resilience
Robust, real-world evidence on how reintroducing grass and herbal leys alongside grazing livestock can benefit soil health and farm profitability.
Identifying sources of pollution in the River Ray
We undertook a pilot study to investigate whether microbial source tracking could identify types and sources of faecal pollution in rivers.
Helping farmers to improve catchment water quality
Farms were identified as being a risk to water quality due to faecal indicator issues, particularly involving cryptosporidium.
Enhancing moorland management through long-term monitoring
The ADAS ecology team was commissioned by Defra to resurvey 20 long-term moorland monitoring sites across the English uplands.
Protecting upland habitat during a high voltage line refurbishment
