Hutton Highlights:
Our changing uplands; climate impacts, citizen science and plant disease risks
For our third Hutton Highlights podcast, we’re focusing on the Scottish uplands. We recorded this episode on site at the Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace, where we were sharing our work in everything from preventing the spread of plant pathogens to citizen science soil sampling on Scotland’s Munros. You’ll hear from our guests about how perception and management of the uplands has changed, how we’re building the first baseline of alpine soil biodiversity across Scotland and how common plant pathogens are and what we can do to avoid spreading the bad ones.
*Please note, gun shots can be heard during the recording due to the clay pigeon range at the Game Fair.
Introduction:
Professor Rob Brooker, head of Ecological Sciences at The James Hutton Institute
Interviewer:
Elaine Maslin, Media Officer
Guests:
Dr Andy Taylor, Molecular Fungal Ecologist
Professor Robin Pakeman, Plant Ecologist
Beatrix Keillor, Research Technician
