OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF ARTHUR ROY CLAPHAM Arthur Roy Clapham was born in Norwich in 1904. He was educated at the City of Norwich School and in 1922 entered Downing College Cambridge as a Foundation Scholar. He gained a first class degree in the Natural Sciences Tripos, taking Botany in Part Il. He was awarded the Frank Smart Prize for Botany and this studentship enabled him in 1925 to begin post-graduate research on plant physiology under F.F. Blackman. He was awarded his Ph.D. in 1929. In 1928 Clapham joined the staff of Rothamsted Agricultural Experimental Station, Harpenden as a Crop Physiologist. In 1930 he took up a post as Departmental and then University Demonstrator in Botany at the University of Oxford. In 1944 he was appointed Professor of Botany at the University of Sheffield, a post he held until retirement in 1969. He was then made Professor emeritus. Clapham served as Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sheffield 1954-1958 and Acting Vice- Chancellor in 1965. As Head of the Botany Department Clapham oversaw an expansion of its activities and a growing reputation as a centre for plant ecology research. In 1965 a second chair Committee for England from 1961. He also headed the Conservancy's Teesdale Research Panel He was Chairman of its Scientific Policy Committee for seven years, 1963-1970, and nature conservation. He became a member of the Nature Conservancy in 1956 and served for many interest in British research conducted for the IBP and participated in its African Savannah project and and went on to serve as Chairman of the Teesdale Research Trust’s Scientific Committee that Derbyshire Naturalists’ Trust, which he helped to found in 1962 (Chairman until 1969). Internationally as a member of its Productivity of Terrestrial Communities Subcommittee. He maintained an active Clapham was closely involved in the International Union of Biological Sciences’ International as Secretary 1948-1950 and President 1954-1956, and on the Council of the Linnean Society 1960- Biological Programme (IBP), serving as chairman of the British National Committee for the IBP and effectively replaced the Panel. Clapham was on the Council of the British Ecological Society, serving 1963 (President 1967-1970). He was an influential member of many local groups, including the was established, which was filled by Clapham’s ex-student and friend J.L. Harley. Clapham had widespread national and international commitments in botany and the related field of years. A.R. Clapham NCUACS 89/2/00 in the IBP’s work on various systems of classifying vegetation. He made many overseas visits, including advising on the development of the University of the South Pacific in Fiji 1970-1971. Clapham’s contributions to botany were ecological rather than in the area of taxonomy. His research began from statistical studies of variance on small-plot field experiments at Rothamsted. Papers from his time at Oxford utilised statistical methods in studying the structure of vegetation distribution and its changes over time and the interacting influences at work. Clapham may have been the first to use the term ‘ecosystem’, suggesting it to A.G Tansley in the early 1930s. Following his move to Sheffield Clapham made major contributions to research through his work, with T.G. Tutin and E.F. Warburg, on the Flora of the British Isles, (1st ed., Cambridge 1952). This became the standard British Flora for over forty years, being revised for new editions in 1963 and 1987. The smaller Excursion Flora of the British Isles, (1st ed., Cambridge 1959) also reached three editions. Clapham was active following retirement, writing no fewer than four Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society. He also wrote The Oxford Book of Trees (Oxford, 1975), illustrated by B.E. Nicholson and edited Upper Teesdale, the area and its natural history (London 1978). For his distinguished contributions to plant ecology Clapham was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1959. He received the CBE in 1969 and among other honours was awarded the Linnean Gold Medal in 1972. Clapham died in December 1990. A fuller account of Clapham’s life and works can be found in the Royal Society Memoir of Clapham overseas. summary has drawn. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION Section A, Biographical, is not substantial. There are letters of congratulation on his election to the Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1959 and the award of the CBE in 1969. There is also some family correspondence, chiefly from Clapham to his wife for the periods when Clapham was The material is presented in the order given in the List of Contents. It covers the period 1925-1994. by A. J. Willis (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society vol 39, 1994) upon which this are dated.

Very few of the papers Section B, University of Sheffield, chiefly comprises notes and teaching material for Clapham’s lectures and field trips at the University of Sheffield. Subjects range from biogeography to statistics. A.R. Clapham NCUACS 89/2/00 Section C, Research, is notes and notebooks dating from post-graduate research at Cambridge in the mid-1920s to post-retirement work in the early 1970s. It includes Clapham’s Ph.D. thesis, papers relating to forestry research in the 1940s, survey work in Glen Affric, Invernesshire in 1947 and botanical notes on visits abroad and from field trips. A number of notebooks used by Clapham during visits in the UK and abroad were kept as daily diaries as well as for a botanical record of the visit. Some research material may also be found with the University of Sheffield lecture notes in section B, with which some of it was kept, and in the Publications and lectures section F, including work on German forests undertaken during the Second World War. Section D, Nature Conservancy, covers the period 1957 to 1974. There is some general policy material, 1959-1971, including papers relating to the relationship between the Nature Conservancy and the Natural Environment Research Council. The bulk of the material, however, is Scientific Policy Committee papers including papers for particular meetings and papers on particular topics kept together by Clapham. The best represented of these topics is woodland research. There is also significant material relating to Upper Teesdale in Durham. Following the flooding of a section of the valley for a reservoir the Teesdale Research Trust was established to oversee research into the flora and fauna of the remaining area. Clapham was the chairman of the Trust’s Scientific Committee. 1975. plants’. and its natural history. James and E.J. Salisbury.

Clapham NCUACS 89/2/00 SECTION D NATURE CONSERVANCY The Nature Conservancy was established in 1949 as the fourth research council. In addition to its own research programmes and research stations the Nature Conservancy owned and managed the national Nature Reserves, over which it had statutory powers. Clapham joined the Conservancy in 1956 and served for many years. He was Chairman of the Scientific Policy Committee for seven years, 1963-1970 succeeding W.H. Pearsall, and of the Committee for England from 1961. The papers cover the period 1957 to 1974. There is some general policy material, 1959-1971, including papers relating to the relationship between the Nature Conservancy and the Natural Environment Research Council, but the bulk of the material is Scientific Policy Committee papers including papers for particular meetings and papers on particular topics kept together by Clapham. The best represented of these topics is woodland research. There is also significant material relating to Upper Teesdale, Durham. Clapham had been Chairman of the Conservancy's Teesdale Research Panel but in 1967, following the flooding of a section of the valley for a reservoir, the Teesdale Research Trust was established to oversee research into the flora and fauna of the remaining area. Clapham was the Chairman of the Trust’s Scientific Committee.

D.56-D.72 TEESDALE 1957-1974 In 1956 the Tees Valley Water Board proposed to build a reservoir in Upper Teesdale, initially at Cow Green, then Dine Holm. The Nature Conservancy opposed the plan and it was dropped in favour of a site at Balderhead. Clapham was Chair of the Conservancy’s Teesdale Research Panel, and this was re-activated in 1967. The NERC and ICI (main industrial users of the water) created the Teesdale Research Trust to support scientific research in Upper Teesdale and Clapham became Chairman of the Trust’s Scientific Committee which replaced the Research Panel. The Nature Conservancy then established a National Nature Reserve in the Upper Teesdale area. In 1964 the Tees Valley and Cleveland Water Board once again raised the question of building a reservoir and planned to site it at Cow Green, now judged geologically suitable. The Nature Conservancy agreed to concede the upper Cow Green site in order to protect the more sensitive Widdybank Fell (lower Cow Green). Cleveland Water Bill, 25 February 1966. The research overseen by the Committee resulted in the publication of Upper Teesdale, the area and its natural history (Collins, London, 1978) edited by Clapham. See F.42-F.62.

Clapham NCUACS 89/2/00 SECTION E INTERNATIONAL BIOLOGICAL PROGRAMME The International Biological Programme was established in 1964 by the International Union of Biological Sciences. It was inspired by the success of the International Geophysical Year in 1957- 1958 but took three years from the preliminary meetings to agree on an agenda for the Programme. Its full title was the ‘International Biological Programme. The Biological Basis of Productivity and Human Welfare’ but this longer title was seldom used. The IBP comprised seven sections: Productivity of Terrestrial Communities, Production Processes, Conservation of Terrestrial Communities, Productivity of Freshwater Communities, Productivity of Marine Communities, Human Adaptability and Use and Management of Biological Resources. The British National Committee for the IBP was chaired by Clapham (succeeding A.A. Miles in December 1964) and he was also a Member of its Productivity of Terrestrial Communities Subcommittee. He maintained an active interest in British research conducted for the IBP and participated in its African Savannah project. Clapham believed the chief achievements of the IBP were encouraging research by teams rather of environments.
