Research Interests:
Professor Jim Harris is Professor of Environmental Technology at Cranfield. His research is focused on soil ecology and how the diversity of soil biota and their spatio-temporal distribution affect soil processes. He has applied this particularly in studying soil forming processes in disturbed landscapes and their role in ecological restoration; organic matter dynamics; in the assessment and treatment of wastes such as landfill leachate; the potential impacts of climate change; the importance of the soil earthworm community in engineered and intensively used soil systems, and in the quantitative assessment of ecosystem goods and services. He has a broad interest in the conceptual context of ecological restoration and the management of natural resources generally, in particular in relationship to institutional arrangements, such as the planning regime. This work has been funded by BBSRC, NERC and EPSRC, local and central government, and industry. He is former Chair of the Society for Ecological Restoration and a Fellow of the Institute of Biology, and the Institute of Agricultural Engineers, and a Founder and Steering Group Member of the Natural Capital Initiative.
