Urban greening to cool towns and cities: A systematic review of the empirical evidence

DE Bowler, L Buyung-Ali, TM Knight… - Landscape and urban …, 2010 - Elsevier
‘Urban greening’ has been proposed as one approach to mitigate the human health consequences
of increased temperatures resulting from climate change. We used systematic review …

[HTML][HTML] A systematic review of evidence for the added benefits to health of exposure to natural environments

DE Bowler, LM Buyung-Ali, TM Knight, AS Pullin - BMC public health, 2010 - Springer
Background There is increasing interest in the potential role of the natural environment in
human health and well-being. However, the evidence-base for specific and direct health or well…

Causes and consequences of animal dispersal strategies: relating individual behaviour to spatial dynamics

DE Bowler, TG Benton - Biological reviews, 2005 - cambridge.org
Knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary causes of dispersal can be crucial in understanding
the behaviour of spatially structured populations, and predicting how species respond …

Van der Waals density functionals applied to solids

J Klimeš, DR Bowler, A Michaelides - Physical Review B, 2011 - APS
… For example, in the Rh, Pd, Ag group, the nonlocal correlations will be relatively the most
important for Ag which has a closed d shell and the smallest atomization energy. And indeed, …

The direct drivers of recent global anthropogenic biodiversity loss

P Jaureguiberry, N Titeux, M Wiemers, DE Bowler… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
Effective policies to halt biodiversity loss require knowing which anthropogenic drivers are
the most important direct causes. Whereas previous knowledge has been limited in scope …

Meta-analysis reveals declines in terrestrial but increases in freshwater insect abundances

R Van Klink, DE Bowler, KB Gongalsky, AB Swengel… - Science, 2020 - science.org
Recent case studies showing substantial declines of insect abundances have raised alarm,
but how widespread such patterns are remains unclear. We compiled data from 166 long-…

Tight-binding modelling of materials

CM Goringe, DR Bowler… - Reports on Progress in …, 1997 - iopscience.iop.org
The tight-binding method of modelling materials lies between the very accurate, very expensive,
ab initio methods and the fast but limited empirical methods. When compared with ab …

The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages

…, IH Myers-Smith, M Winter, AD Bjorkman, DE Bowler… - Science, 2019 - science.org
Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Methods in electronic structure calculations

DR Bowler, T Miyazaki - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
