Rhagolwg
I am a Lecturer in Woodland Management and member of the Forestry@Bangor teaching team. I am module organiser for the Woodland Conservation (DXX-2025) and Forestry Study Tour (DXX-2016) and assist with Forestry in the 21st Century (DXX-1003). My background was in arboriculture and horticulture. I moved to North Wales in 2011 to begin my forestry journey completing a BSc degree in Forestry. I then worked breifly for UKCEH before commencing a PhD in 2016 investigatng the role of plant microbe symbiosis on belowground cycling on carbon in temperate forests, particularly mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. My research interests include forest mycology, susyainable tree nursery production and heritage apples and orchards. I am also the Woodland Manager of Llyn Parc Mawr Community Woodland, part of Newborough Forest, Anglesey's largest woodland.

- BU-IIA Funded Project: Linking tree nursery practice to windthrow risk in UK forestry
Current UK tree nursery practices include many tree propagation methodologies (e.g., vegetative propagation, undercut bare root, and cell grown seedlings) nearly all of which have been shown to alter root architecture and morphology compared to naturally grown trees(Feng et al., 2022).
The overarching aim of this proof-of-concept project is to determine how wind-firmness of trees is affected by the routine root pruning operations of UK tree nurseries.
