Introduction
Bid Webb currently works at the School of Natural Sciences, Bangor University. Bid's research interests includes hydrology and soil science and is particularly interested in the interaction between tree roots and soil hydraulic function. Her current project is 'Investigating the impact of hedgerows and shelterbelts on landscape hydrology.'

Natural approaches to flood risk management are gaining interest as sustainable flood mitigation options. Targeted tree planting has the potential to reduce local flood risk, however attention is generally focused on the hydrological impacts of catchment afforestation linked to generic tree features, whilst the species-specific impacts of trees on...
In this study we assess the potential for farmland hedgerows to provide climate mitigation via carbon (C) storage, using soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux to improve upscaling validity. Two contrasting sites, freely- draining (FD) versus seasonally-wet (SW), situated in mixed-livestock farms (Conwy, Wales, UK), were selected. We measured soil CO2 ef...
Hedgerows have the potential to influence ecosystem function in livestock‐grazed pasture. Despite this, they are often ignored when quantifying farmland ecosystem service delivery. In this study, we assess the contribution of hedgerows to the ecosystem function of carbon (C) storage, with a particular emphasis on soil organic carbon (SOC). We measu...
