Grasslands, carbon sequestration and greenhouse gases
What are the benefits of grasslands?
Globally, grasslands represent 70% of the agricultural land area. In Scotland the figure is even higher (approximately 80%), due to the contribution from rough grazing on land less favourable for agriculture (LFA).
Mark leads studies in molecular physiology in potato at the James Hutton Institute. His main research has been on understanding the molecular basis of quality and development trains in potato tubers. For SEFARI, Mark is Work Package Coordinator for Crop and grassland production and disease control alongside Alison Lees. His work for SEFARI focuses on genetic diversity and improvement of crops.

The fruit industry relies on a small number of varieties and a decreasing number of chemicals, presenting serious challenges for future sustainable growth. No suitable high-quality varieties with resistant to pests and diseases are available. This is coupled with climate change where unpredictability in phenotypic expression is resulting at both small and large spatial scales.
My research explores areas of biology that are academically and practically important. I develop and apply approaches to enable genetic and genomic analysis for exploring a wide range of issues related to plant biology.

World Environment Day, on 5 June 2017, is designated as “the United Nations’ most important day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment”. The theme for 2017 is connecting people to nature, and the UN is urging individuals to do something to take care of the Earth, or become an agent of change.
