Hi folks! I'm an interdisciplinary researcher in the final stages of data collection exploring the expertise and experiences of land managers, modeling treescape impacts on catchment hydrology and exploring how these are entangled disciplines #pgftc2020 #pgfhome #envgeog #trees
Methods incl:
Emplaced interviews & mapping with participants,
Onsite and remote sensed data collection,
Modelling alternative landuse scenarios in #SHETran, ( https://research.ncl.ac.uk/shetran/ )
& a critical review of current research and practice
#forestandflood #interdisciplinary [2/5]
Prelim findings include:
Farmers/Landmanagers (LM) plant trees;
LM expertise has an important impact on data collection;
LM preferences informed by multiple factors incl not ruled by) economics;
The social and physical (incl geomorphological) are entangled in landscapes [3/5]
Prelim findings cont:
LM prefs for features like shelterbelts and steep slope woodlands produce feasible alternative scenarios with significant impacts on catchment hydrology,
Where, which & how trees grow more important than no. planted,

Next steps:
Different knowledges and data have informed process through analysis. Evaluation of the models & research findings and the potential impact on decision making will be made alongside catchment participants/experts
Then I just have to write a thesis 😬 [5/5] @BIFoRUoB
