ROTHAMSTED Research has been named as one of the top ten institutions for environment and ecological science in a national survey.

A survey published by Time Higher Education ranks the Harpenden-based centre as one of the best institutions which has produced the most influential papers of the past ten years.

It was revealed that the centre's research paper on biodiversity and climate change was among those which had the most impact in this category.

Professor Keith Goulding, acting director of Rothamsted's centre for soil and ecosystem function, said: “This is a great result for the institute and particularly our research centre.

“It shows that Rothamsted's innovative research in environment and ecology, started over 160 years ago, continues to influence our peers, to have international impact and to show that research funding to the institute is money well spent.”
