Climate change affects numerous facets of our environment, including both wild and cultivated ecosystems. At Nottingham, we conduct studies to comprehend historical climate patterns, their driving forces, and their influence on flora and fauna throughout evolutionary history. By examining the past, we gain insights into how climate shifts will affect both natural habitats and the agricultural systems essential to human survival.

Our research also investigates current ecological impacts of climate change, from Arctic permafrost thaw to British farming practices and tropical forest temperature increases. Through this work, we highlight nature's vital role in climate solutions, as ecosystems provide crucial mitigation strategies and enhance adaptability to changing conditions.

Our studies encompass diverse areas of applied ecology, examining organisms from microscopic life to large mammals. We also advance theoretical and practical understanding of natural ecosystems. Typically, our research addresses human-caused challenges involving farming, contamination, and ecological transformation.
