Overview

Clare H. Robinson is affiliated with the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Their research focuses primarily on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with substantial contributions to understanding ecosystem dynamics and interactions at multiple ecological scales.

Their main fields of study include:

  • Environmental Science
  • Agricultural and Biological Sciences

Within these broader disciplines, Robinson has concentrated on subfields such as ecology, plant science, evolutionary behavior and systematics, health, toxicology and mutagenesis, and pollution.

The scientist's work covers key topics including:

  • Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics
  • Mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions
  • Lichen and fungal ecology
  • Heavy metals in environment
  • Microbial community ecology and physiology
  • Radioactive element chemistry and processing
  • Peatlands and wetlands ecology

Robinson has published extensively in journals such as The Science of The Total Environment, Atmosphere, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, Chemosphere, and Urban forestry & urban greening.

Some of the recent papers include:

  • "Nitrogen addition alters composition, diversity, and functioning of microbial communities in mangrove soils: An incubation experiment" (2020, Soil Biology and Biochemistry)
  • "Organic complexation of U(VI) in reducing soils at a natural analogue site: Implications for uranium transport" (2020, Chemosphere)
  • "Towards a microbial process-based understanding of the resilience of peatland ecosystem service provisioning - A research agenda" (2020, The Science of The Total Environment)
  • "Where the wild things are: How urban foraging and food forests can contribute to sustainable cities in the Global North" (2024, Urban forestry & urban greening)
  • "Isolation and identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from an abandoned uranium mine and their role in soil-to-plant transfer of radionuclides and metals" (2023, The Science of The Total Environment)

Robinson has collaborated frequently with several co-authors, including Jon K. Pittman, Filipa Cox, Jonathan R. Lloyd, Richard D. Bardgett, and Helena Davies, reflecting a collaborative research approach across related topics in environmental and microbial sciences.
