	Valuing soft components in agricultural water management interventions in meso-scale watersheds: A review and synthesis Meso-scale watershed management (1-10,000 km2) is receiving growing attention as the spatial scale where policy in integrated water resource management goes into operational mode. In: Barron, J. and Noel, S. 2011. Water Alternatives 4:2, 145-154
	Dry and wet atmospheric deposition of nitrogen and phosphorus in Singapore Atmospheric nutrients have recently gained increased attention as significant additional sources of new nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loading to aquatic ecosystems. In: Hea, J., Balasubramanian, R., Burger, D.F., Hicks, K., Kuylenstierna, J.C.I., Palani, S. Atmospheric Environment 45:16, 2760-2768. doi:10.1016/j.atmosenv.2011.02.036
	A Consumption Approach for Emissions Accounting - the REAP Tool and REAP Data for 2006 (PDF, 2.3 Mb) By Dawkins, E., Roelich, K. and Owen, A. REAP stands for the Resources and Energy Analysis Programme and has been developed to support decision making and policy development. The REAP tool is a software tool designed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) at the University of York. It provides a database and scenario modelling of the emissions generated as a result of the consumption of goods and services by UK residents. The software tool is one of the outputs of a 10 year research programme into consumption based carbon and GHG emissions accounting at SEI. It was originally developed to make our data and research at SEI accessible to policy makers and highlight the importance of consumption based approach to emissions accounting.
	Mapping an urban ecosystem service: quantifying above-ground carbon storage at a city-wide scale Despite urbanization being a major driver of land-use change globally, there have been few attempts to quantify and map ecosystem service provision at a city-wide scale. One service that is an increasingly important feature of climate change mitigation policies, and with other potential benefits, is biological carbon storage. Author(s): Year: In: Davies, Z.G., Edmondson ,J.L., Heinemeyer, A., Leake, J.R. and Gaston, K.J., 2011 Journal of Applied Ecology, British Ecological Society. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2664.2011.02021.x
	A social network approach to analyzing water governance: The case of the Mkindo catchment, Tanzania In this study the authors demonstrate how social network analysis (SNA), a well-established technique from sociology and organizational research, can be used to empirically map collaborative social networks between actors that either directly or indirectly influence water flows in the Mkindo catchment in Tanzania. In: Stein, C., Ernstson, H., and Barron, J., 2011. A social network approach to analyzing water governance: The case of the Mkindo catchment, Tanzania. In Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C. Available online 16 August 2011. doi: 10.1016/j.pce.2011.07.083
	TEST Newsletter 1 TEST (Transport Environment Science and Technology) Network aims to support Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries - Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe - in formulating and implementing sustainable transport policies which contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable economic development.
	Nitrogen Deposition and Natura 2000: Science and Practice in Determining Environmental Impacts Eds. Hicks, W.K., Whitfield, C.P., Bealey, W.J. and Sutton, M.A. In: COST729/Nine/ESF/CCW/JNCC/SEI Workshop Proceedings, published by COST. This book represents current thinking in Europe for the assessment and protection of Natura 2000 sites receiving elevated nitrogen deposition inputs. It describes existing methodologies and also considers emerging issues. It is hoped that this book will provide a valuable resource for practitioners in nature conservation and environmental regulation; scientific experts in nitrogen deposition, impact detection and environmental assessments; and policy advisers and stakeholders in the fields of biodiversity, the Habitats Directive and nitrogen emissions management.
