- This work was part of the MEPSOM project (ANR, 2009-2014) led by eminent soil scientist Prof. Claire Chenu, with Abertay as partners. In this paper state of the art modelling and imaging techniques (X-Ray CT) were combined to understand the soil-bacterial complex in relation to Carbon degradation. We explored the effect of different soil water regimes, which might result from climate change, biodegradation of organic matter and associated CO2 emissions. Research led to follow on funding from ANR. Results of the MEPSOM consortia featured in 8 papers in international journals, 28 talks at international conferences and 5 PhD theses.
