Research Activities: Louise Jackson is an ecologist whose expertise is mainly in plant-soil-ecosystem functions, and measuring the role of agrobiodiversity in intensively managed agricultural systems. She is also involved in research that demonstrates mitigation/adaptation tradeoffs for agricultural responses to climate change. Her research spans gene to landscape levels, and increasingly involves science-policy interfaces.

Research Activities: As part of EcoNexus I work on the impact of emerging technologies on biodiversity, communities, food sovereignty. Technologies include synthetic biology, geoengineering, GM crops and trees. I also focus on the impact of biofuels, biomass production, bioenergy generally on land and biodiversity. EcoNexus researchers are concerned that not enough account is taken of the complexity of natural systems when making interventions.
