We’re making life tough for insects – and not just by swatting them away with a newspaper.
Academic rigor, journalistic flair
UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology
The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) is a centre for excellence in environmental science across water, land and air.
Our 500 scientists work to understand the environment, how it sustains life and the human impact on it – so that together, people and nature can prosper. We have a long history of investigating, monitoring and modelling environmental change, and our science makes a positive difference in the world.
The issues our science addresses include: air pollution, biodiversity, biosecurity, chemical risks, extreme weather events, droughts, floods, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, soil health, sustainable agriculture, sustainable ecosystems, sustainable macronutrient use, and water resources management.
The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology is a strategic delivery partner for the Natural Environment Research Council, part of UK Research and Innovation.

Climate change promotes ideal conditions for catastrophic fires, but the most drastic changes can still be avoided.
Windermere has seen extensive algal blooms, attracting attention over its ecological consequences. But this is nothing new.
An unexpected legacy of COVID could be a new system for monitoring public health.

Even in the breeding grounds, we found that European bee-eaters preferred the company of some birds over others. These tended to be the individuals they migrated with.
A new study has calculated the tremendous cost of ash dieback to the UK economy.
Mapping the soil with open source application is vital to understanding how to protect it.
Here’s how to take the sting out of these harmful pesticides.
We aren’t just jostling with each other for beach space. Scuttling, waddling, hopping or flying away from beachgoers all around Australia, wildlife struggles to survive the daily disturbances.
Forecasting drought should be about more than weather – to help those likely to be hit hardest, we need financial and even health data too.
Sangliers, cerfs, loups et élans on été repérés en grand nombre dans la « zone d’exclusion », ces quelques 4750 km² qui environnent l'ancien site de la centrale nucléaire.
Elk, deer and wolves are becoming increasingly common in Chernobyl.
Britain, like many countries, has already witnessed the establishment of many non-native species of plants and animals, and about 15% have become problematic and so termed “invasive”. Some were deliberately…
The National Trust has reported that the seasonal activities of plants and animals in the UK have been exceptionally early in 2014. Spring and summer have come early – and observations from some parts…
Irradiated plants taken from the evacuated areas around the stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant have been reported to cause growth abnormalities and early death when fed to butterfly larvae…
With current concerns focusing, quite rightly, on controlling carbon emissions, it is easy to lose sight of the need for continued conservation efforts. In fact our recent study published in the Proceedings…
It may seem odd for the European Commission to declare 2013 the “Year of the Air” in order to focus on improving air quality standards. Most would feel air pollution is a problem that has been more or…
