Technology 3rd party data and NEF indicators - Feasibility Study-Natural England are reforming how we monitor protected sites, with the focus shifting to include the usage of 3rd party and monitoring technologies e.g. Earth Observation . This will increase efficiency and capacity for condition assessments to be made partially or entirely remotely, allowing more sites to be monitored in less time and management resources distributed effectively based on current information. Considering all habitats, this project will investigate approaches that would be ava...

Soil Sample Metabarcoding for Natural Englands Long Term Monitoring Network (LTMN)-This project aims to analyse soil samples from Natural England's Long Term Monitoring Network using metabarcoding, to generate data which can be used to explore how past tRFLP analysis of microbial communities can be made compatible with modern metabarcoding approaches. This project will specifically deliver metabarcoding of a limited number of samples using two primer sets: those used for tRFLP, and those used in modern metabarcoding, and deliver both raw and taxonomically assigned data, ...
