The Landscape and Biodiversity Research Group (LBRG)[
The LBRG currently consists of three permanent academic staff (Dr Jeff Ollerton, Dr Janet Jackson and Dr Duncan McCollin),
The main research themes of the LBRG are:
- Landscape fragmentation and modelling [4][5]
- The ecology, evolution and conservation of plant-pollinator interactions[6][7][8]
- River and floodplain management [11][12][13]
Research has been funded by a range of organisations, including:
