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 ... -
Discovering Trinity's Biodiversity: Report from the Biodiversity Audit Pilot Study
(Trinity College Dublin, 2021) -
Dissolved carbon leaching from soil is a crucial component of the net ecosystem carbon balance
(2011)Estimates of carbon leaching losses from different land use systems are few and their contribution to the net ecosystem carbon balance is uncertain. We investigated leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved ... -
Distribution of Nature-based Solutions in cities across Europe
(2024)Nature-based Solutions (NBS) is a conceptual framework that seeks to use properties of nature to co-produce ecosystem services to build climate change resilience and improve quality of life by mitigating the relation- ship ... -
Does size matter? Bumblebee behaviour and the pollination of Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae).
(EDP Sciences, 2000)The effects of forager body size and floral display size on pollinator behaviour were assessed in a relatively specialised plant-pollinator system. Cytisus scoparius, which has structurally complex, nectarless flowers is ... -

Ecological Variation in Response to Mass-Flowering Oilseed Rape and Surrounding Landscape Composition by Members of a Cryptic Bumblebee Complex.
(2013)The Bombus sensu stricto species complex is a widespread group of cryptic bumblebee species which are important pollinators of many crops and wild plants. These cryptic species have, until now, largely been grouped together ... -
Ecology and mode-of-life explain lifespan variation in birds and mammals.
(2014)Maximum lifespan in birds and mammals varies strongly with body mass such that large species tend to live longer than smaller species. However, many species live far longer than expected given their body mass. This may ... -
The ecology and native status of pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Ireland
(2006)Research to determine the native status of Pinus sylvestris in Ireland has so far produced ambiguous results. P. sylvestris is included in the Native Woodland Scheme, which is administered by the Forest Service and provides ... -
Ecology of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Ireland - preliminary results
(Environmental Sciences Association of Ireland, 2008)The ecology of Pinus sylvestris in Ireland has not been adequately described. Research to determine its native status in Ireland has produced ambiguous results. P. sylvestris is being widely planted in semi-natural habitats. ... -
The effect of anoxia and anaerobia on ciliate community in biological nutrient removal systems using laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs)
(2011)Little is known about the effect of anaerobic and anoxic stages on the protozoan community in the activated sludge process and how this subsequently affects performance. Using a laboratory-scale BNR system the effect of ...
