Capacity-building and networking events for nature-based solutions and re-naturing in Malta
(2020)Nature-based solutions (NbS) have the potential to build climate resilience and tackle key societal challenges while also providing multiple co-benefits to biodiversity and human well-being. The demand for nature-based ... -
Carbon dioxide emission savings potential of household water use reduction in the UK.
(ccsenet.org, 2009)The relationship between household water use and energy consumption was examined to establish whether the conservation of water within a domestic environment offers significant potential for saving energy, thereby ... -
Carboniferous plant physiology breaks the mold
(Wiley, 2020)How plants have shaped Earth surface feedbacks over geologic time is a key question in botanical and geological inquiry. Recent work has suggested that biomes during the Carboniferous Period contained plants with extraordinary ... -
The case for mainstreaming nature-based solutions into integrated catchment management in Ireland
(2020)The intensification of European policies, agreements and regulations for climate action, water resources, energy, agriculture and forestry, and biodiversity is pressurising governments to adopt a ... -
A catalogue of Irish pollen diagrams
(2013-09-04)The first Irish pollen diagram was published by Gunnar Erdtman in the Irish Naturalists? Journal in 1927. Since then over 471 pollen diagrams have been produced from locations throughout Ireland from a range of sites and ... -
Cheirolepidiaceous diversity: an anatomically preserved pollen cone from the Lower Jurassic of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
(2015)To date, the vast majority of fossils described for the extinct conifer family, the Cheirolepidiaceae, have been reported from compression/impressions primarily from Cretaceous rocks; there are fewer reports from ... -
Climate-related changes in peatland carbon accumulation during the last millennium
(2013)Peatlands are a major terrestrial carbon store and a persistent natural carbon sink during the Holocene, but there is considerable uncertainty over the fate of peatland carbon in a changing climate. It is generally assumed ... -
Comparative performance of six carbon footprint models for use in Ireland.
(2009)Carbon footprint models are increasingly being used to manage personal and household carbon dioxide emissions. Six models were compared for their suitability for use in Ireland using typical data for a household of three ... -
Conflicting rationalities, knowledge and values in scarred landscapes
(2009)Incorporating public or local preferences in landscape planning is often discussed with respect to the difficulties associated with accurate representation, stimulating interest and overcoming barriers to participation. ... -
Consistent Relationship between Field-Measured Stomatal Conductance and Theoretical Maximum Stomatal Conductance in C3 Woody Angiosperms in Four Major Biomes
(University of Chicago Press, 2020)Premise of research. Understanding the relationship between field-measured operating stomatal conductance (gop) and theoretical maximum stomatal conductance (gmax), calculated from stomatal density and geometry, provides ... -
Convergence in maximum stomatal conductance of C3 woody angiosperms in natural ecosystems across bioclimatic zones
(2019)Stomatal conductance (gs) in terrestrial vegetation regulates the uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration, closely linking the biosphere and atmosphere and influencing ... -
A critical analysis of the potential for EU Common Agricultural Policy measures to support wild pollinators on farmland
(2020)1. Agricultural intensification and associated loss of high-quality habitats are key drivers of insect pollinator declines. With the aim of decreasing the environmental impact of agriculture, the 2014 EU Common Agricultural ... -
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(2016)The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ... -
Developing a field boundary evaluation and grading system in Ireland
(2003)The purpose of this study was to develop an evaluation and grading system for the main field boundaries in Ireland – hedgerows and dry stone walls. It is shown that there is a lack of scientific information on Irish field ... -
Developing peatland ecosystem accounts to guide targets for restoration
(2021)The United Nations System of Environmental and Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) is a geospatial approach, whereby existing data on ecosystem stocks and flows are collated to show changes over time. The ... -
Development of a Climate Forcing Observation System for Africa: Data-Related Considerations
(2019)In the case of the African continent, the estimates of most climate forcing components are associated with large uncertainties, above all the greenhouse gas budget. The EU-funded SEACRIFOG project is designing an observation ... -
Development of Hybrid Models to Estimate Gross Primary Productivity at a Near-Natural Peatland Using Sentinel 2 Data and a Light Use Efficiency Model
(2023)Peatlands store up to 2320 Mt of carbon (C) on only ~20% of the land area in Ireland; however, approximately 90% of this area has been drained and is emitting up to 10 Mt C per year. Gross primary productivity (GPP) is a ... -
Die Ameisenfauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) des Unterfeldes bei Guntersblum
(Beiheft 30, 2007) -
Direct interactions between invasive plants and native pollinators: evidence, impacts and approaches
(2016)Invasive non-native plants form interactions with native species and have the potential to cause direct and indirect impacts on those species, as well as the functioning of invaded ecosystems. Many entomophilous invasive ...
