Rainfall Reduction

In the United Kingdom, agricultural grasslands cover 40% of the land area, make up 89% of the total agricultural area and are an important land use for ecosystem services and food security. Climate change predictions suggest that the United Kingdom will experience more frequent and severe periods of drought that may impact these grasslands. As part of the Drought Risk and You (DRY) project, a field experiment in which rain shelters reduced precipitation reaching the vegetation by approximately 50%, was set up in the South West of England. The experiment ran for 3 years, from October 2015 to October 2018. The study was carried out at two locations in the catchment of the Bristol River Frome. Both sites were species-rich semi-natural pastures that had received no inputs of fertilizer or herbicide for many years. Automatic weather stations recorded environmental conditions, especially rainfall, within the experimental area. The existing agricultural management regimes were approximated by cutting the vegetation in the plots, by hand, at the appropriate times of year. The effect of rainfall reduction on plant growth was assessed by biomass sampling. At both sites, the rainfall reduction treatment had only small effects on total above ground dry matter production (biomass). These effects were much smaller than the year-to-year variation in total biomass. Our results suggested that well-established permanent pastures in the South West of England were able to tolerate a 3-year period of reduced water supply. The observed year-to-year variation in biomass demonstrated how important the timing of dry weather is for biomass production, and this will be reflected in effects on yield and quality of hay.

Future Economic Development

This chapter argues that critical heritage studies needs to consider not only what culture and heritage says about a place or space, but also what kinds of future possibilities and potentialities (becoming) are produced. This involves a thorough understanding about how time works in the narratives that heritage studies develop around a place. Narratives here are imagined as assemblages of signs, symbols, practices, and institutions. Using a case study of Cornwall in the South-West of the United Kingdom, the chapter considers how assembled narratives of Cornwall impact how the region is perceived and the effects that this has on future economic development.

In spite of the very varied use of the compass needle for purposes of navigation and surveying, there is little really known about the closeness in the parallelism of daily magnetic changes in different parts of the United Kingdom. The mean annual values from magnetic observatories show that, since 1910, secular change of declination has been at least approximately the same throughout England, the south of Scotland, and the south-west of Ireland. Thus the conditions have been favourable for an enquiry into the parallelism of other changes. Diurnal inequalities from five selected quiet days a month were published for Falmouth as well as Kew up to 1912. A comparison of results from a number of years combined had shown little difference between the diurnal inequalities at the two stations as regards the range. Difference in local time produced a visible effect, but it was small. In more recent years, corresponding diurnal inequalities for Eskdalemuir and Kew from the five international quiet days of each month had shown a close similarity.

In the preface to this paper, Sir Henry James gives an account of the circumstances under which the work was undertaken, as follows. (A Table of results is appended, p. 313.) The principal triangulation of the United Kingdom was finished in 1851; and the triangulations of France, Belgium, Prussia, and Russia were so far advanced in 1860, that, if connected, we should have a continuous triangulation from the Island of Valentia on the south-west extremity of Ireland, in north latitude 51º 55' 20", and longitude 10º 20' 40'' west of Greenwich, to Orsk on the River Ural in Russia.

The principal triangnlation of the United Kingdom was finished in 1851; and the triangulations of. France, Belgium, Prussia, and Russia were so far advanced in 1860 that, if connected, we should have a continuous triangulation from the Island of Valentia, on the south-west extremity of Ireland, in north latitude 51° 55' 20", and longitude 10° 20' 40", west of Greenwich, to Orsk, on the River Ural in Russia. It was therefore possible to measure the length of an arc of parallel in latitude 52° of about 75°, and to determine, by the assistance of the, electric telegraph, the exact difference of longitude between the extremities of this arc, and thus obtain a crucial test of the accuracy of the figure and dimensions of the earth, as derived from the measurement of arcs of meridian, or the data for modifying the results previously arrived at.

Until 2019, TBE was considered only to be an imported disease to the United Kingdom. In that year, evidence became available that the TBEV is likely circulating in the country1,2 and a first “probable case” of TBE originating in the UK was reported.3 In addition to TBEV, louping ill virus (LIV), a member of the TBEV-serocomplex, is also endemic in parts of the UK. Reports of clinical disease caused by LIV in livestock are mainly from Scotland, parts of North and South West England and Wales.4

Abstract Section 162 of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 empowers courts to declare directors delinquent and hence to disqualify them from office. This article compares the judicial disqualification of directors under this section with the equivalent provisions in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America, which have all influenced the South African act. The article compares the classes of persons who have locus standi to apply to court to disqualify a director from holding office, as well as the grounds for the judicial disqualification of a director, the duration of the disqualification, the application of a prescription period and the discretion conferred on courts to disqualify directors from office. It contends that, in empowering courts to disqualify directors from holding office, section 162 of the South African Companies Act goes too far in certain respects.
