Applying the System of Environmental Economic Accounting-Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EA) framework at catchment scale to develop ecosystem extent and condition accounts
(2021)Ecosystem accounting is a tool to integrate nature into decision-making in a more structured way. Applying the use of nationally available datasets at catchment scale and following the System of Environmental Economic ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
The emergence of green infrastructure as promoting the centralisation of a landscape perspective in spatial planning: the case of Ireland
(2017)The ‘landscape’ approach to planning and design has long since advanced a social-ecological perspective that conceives ecosystems health and human well-being as mutually constitutive. However, conventional public sector ... -
Evaluating the influence of groundwater pressures on groundwater-dependent wetlands
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2013) -
Focus group discourses in a mined landscape
(2010)Focus group research is rarely used for examining environmental discourses other than when conflict arises. This study looks at local citizen perceptions in relation to mined (or ‘cutaway’) industrial peatland landscapes ... -
Globalisation and pollinators: Pollinator declines are an economic threat to global food systems
(2022)Trade in animal-pollinated crops plays an important role in global food systems: in many low-income countries, export of pollinated crops such as coffee and cocoa plays a significant role in livelihoods, while food systems ... -
Green Infrastructure: A ?How To? Guide for Disseminating and Integrating the Concept into Spatial Planning Practice
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2016) -
High-resolution remote sensing data and machine learning approaches for mapping and monitoring habitats
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2024)The increasing decline in the status of habitats, mainly due to anthropogenic stressors, has spurred the development and implementation of many conservation-related legislation. This legislation involves mapping, a critical ... -
Identifying barriers for nature-based solutions in flood risk management: an interdisciplinary overview using the expert community approach
(2022)The major event that hit Europe in summer 2021 reminds society that floods are recurrent and among the costliest and deadliest natural hazards. The long-term flood risk management (FRM) efforts preferring sole technical ... -
Influential factors of cereal crop landscapes on aphidophagous syrphid communities
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2021)Aphidophagous syrphids are a common group of insects in agriculture, attributed with benefiting farmers with pollination and pest control services. Farmed landscapes are also believed to have potential in supporting and ... -
Integrating Ecosystem Approaches, Green Infrastructure and Spatial Planning
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2016) -
Mapping Land use on Irish peatlands using medium resolution satellite imagery
(2018)The EU is committed to quantifying greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry, including wetlands. Wetlands and peatlands will play a central role in achieving temperature goals agreed ... -
Multi-spatial-temporal remote sensing and machine learning for mapping management impacts on peatlands in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2024)Peatlands, constituting over half of terrestrial wetland ecosystems across the globe, hold critical ecological significance and are large stores of Carbon (C). In Ireland, the wetland landscape is dominated by rare oceanic ... -
A national-scale assessment of land use change in peatlands between 1989 and 2020 using Landsat data and Google Earth Engine: a case study of Ireland
