Abstract/Summary
Moor House was among the first National Nature Reserves designated in England in 1952. Over the past 70 years it has hosted an extraordinary amount of research work, resulting in over 1,000 publications. Research at the reserve spans multiple disciplines and decades, and long-term studies now sit side-by-side with cutting edge work. This report provides for the first time a comprehensive record of publications linked to Moor House, explores key themes and how these have changed over time, and highlights important findings which demonstrate the value of this unique outdoor laboratory.
