Imogen Ryan

Imogen joined the Land Use and Ecosystem Services group within Forest Research in 2023 after finishing her PhD at the University of East Anglia on the pollination ecology of commercial raspberry crops. Her research quantified the pollinator dependence and requirements of raspberry and the ways in which pollination services can be monitored by growers to inform conservation needs and managed pollinator use on farms.

Her research interests include agroecology and the impacts of land use change on biodiversity and ecosystem services. She is currently researching the ecological benefits of lone trees and the implementation of agroforestry systems on farmland biodiversity and habitat creation. Her research will focus on identifying the niches created by these trees within agricultural landscapes, and the priority species associated with these microhabitats.
