Research interests
Research interests
I have a broad range of interests, drawing on over 30 years of research on soil and plant ecology:
- The influence of environmental change on soils and plants in polar ecosystems
(i) Responses of soil biota to warming
Two long-term field experiments, one at Mars Oasis on Alexander Island and the other at Kongsfjordneset on Svalbard in the High Arctic, have tested the effects of warming on soil microbes. These experiments use ITEX-design open top chambers (OTCs) to warm soil and vegetation passively by about 1 °C. You can see a video of the experiment on Svalbard, shot by my colleague Elise Biersma, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAQUWjAO5ZI
- Interactions between soil fungi and plants
My first postdoctoral position, in Professor Alastair Fitter’s laboratory at the University of York, showed that symbiotic and pathogenic root fungi interact to influence plant fitness. The main output from the research in Alastair’s laboratory (Newsham et al. 1995, Journal of Ecology 83, 991-1000) was recently voted as being one of the top 100 most influential papers published by the British Ecological Society over the last century (see http://core.ecu.edu/chalcraftd/most%20influential%20BES%20papers.pdf).
(i) Dark septate root endophytes
A spin-off from my research at York was the finding that the roots of apparently healthy plants are routinely colonised by a separate group of fungi, the dark septate endophytes (DSE). The ecological role of DSE, which is much less clear than that of mycorrhizas, has been a focus for my research (e.g. Newsham 1999, New Phytologist 144, 517-524; Newsham et al. 2009, Fungal Ecology 2, 10-20). Experiments by Dr Rebecca Upson in Professor David Read’s laboratory at the University of Sheffield showed that DSE, identified by sequencing of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 nuclear ribosomal gene cluster as Oculimacula yallundae and species of Mollisia and Tapesia, have positive effects on the in vitro growth of Antarctic Hairgrass when nitrogen is supplied to plants in organic form (Upson et al. 2009, Mycorrhiza 20, 1-11).
A meta-analysis of data from the literature similarly showed that DSE improve plant above- and belowground biomass when organic nutrients are supplied to plants, and provides evidence that DSE have positive effects on their host plants (Newsham 2011, New Phytologist 190, 783-793).
Joint NERC funding with Davey Jones’ group at the University of Bangor has also determined the influence of DSEs on organic nitrogen assimilation by Antarctic hairgrass (see Hill et al. 2011, Nature Climate Change 1, 50-53).
(ii) Mycothalli
Mycorrhizal symbioses are less frequent in polar ecosystems than they are at lower latitudes (Upson et al. 2008, Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research 40, 592-599; Newsham et al. 2009, Fungal Ecology 2, 10-20), but some species of leafy liverwort in these habitats consistently form mycothalli, associations with fungi that bear remarkable similarities to mycorrhizas. The aim of my research on mycothalli is to document the fungi present in the tissues of leafy liverworts in Antarctic and Arctic ecosystems, and, ultimately, to understand their influence on the nutrient balance and survival of hepatics in polar habitats.
Research by Rebecca Upson in David Read’s laboratory showed that the leafy liverwort Cephaloziella varians is consistently colonised by the ericoid mycorrhizal symbiont Rhizoscyphus ericae over a 1,875 km transect from South Georgia through to Alexander Island (Upson et al. 2007, New Phytologist 176, 460-471). Direct PCR on Lophozia excisa and Barbilophozia hatcheri, other leafy liverworts of the high maritime Antarctic, has similarly shown plants to be consistently colonised by fungi in Sebacinales clade B, which are members of mycorrhizal associations with higher plants on other continents (Newsham & Bridge 2010, Mycorrhiza 20, 307-313; Newsham et al. in press, Fungal Ecology).
Ongoing work at the NERC Arctic station at Ny-Ålesund on Svalbard in the High Arctic has determined the presence of fungi in 15 species of leafy liverworts, including species of Cephaloziella, Cephalozia, Barbilophozia, Lophozia and Tritomaria. Direct PCR, using custom-designed primers, has recently been used to determine whether or not these hepatics harbour the same fungi as those in the Antarctic and temperate habitats.

A paper from my first postdoctoral position in Professor Alastair Fitter’s laboratory at the University of York was recently listed as one of the top 100 most influential papers published by the British Ecological Society over the last century (see http://core.ecu.edu/chalcraftd/most%20influential%20BES%20papers.pdf).
In 2017, Web of Science ranked my single author 2011 New Phytologist article 220th out of the 95,409 articles published in the Plant Sciences category between 2010 and 2014.
