Soil respiration in European grasslands in relation to climate and assimilate supply
(Springer Verlag, 2008)Soil respiration constitutes the second largest flux of carbon (C) between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. This study provides a synthesis of soil respiration (Rs) in 20 European grasslands across a climatic ... -
Spatial variability of urban forest topsoil properties: towards representative and robust sampling design
(2023)Background: Soil spatial variability is a major concern when deciding how to collect a representative topsoil sample for laboratory analysis. Sampling design to capture site-specific variability is documented in the ... -
Spring foraging resources and the behaviour of pollinating insects in fixed dune ecosystems
(2014)In temperate climates, foraging resources for pollinating insects are especially important in early spring when animals emerge from hibernation and initiate annual life cycles. One habitat, protected under EU law, which ... -
Strategies for mainstreaming nature-based solutions in urban governance capacities in ten European cities
(2023)This paper explores the institutional mainstreaming of nature-based solutions (NBS) to advance a process-based understanding about how to strategically develop the governance capacities needed for systemic, localised and ... -
Structurally preserved fungi from Antarctica: Diversity and interactions in late Paleozoic and Mesozoic polar forest ecosystems.
(2016)Chert and silicified wood from the Permian through Cretaceous of Antarctica contain abundant information on fungal diversity and plant–fungal interactions. The chert deposits represent a particularly interesting setting ... -
Studies in the recent new genus record Pseudostachyum (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) from Thailand: notes on its taxonomy, distribution and habitat
(2013)A taxonomic review of the genus Pseudostachyum Munro in Thailand is presented including a description of its morphology, geographic distribution and habitat. An illustrated description of the newly recorded species P. ... -
Surviving in a warmer world: environmental and genetic responses
(2012)There are numerous reports in the literature of advancing trends in phenophases of plants, insects and birds attributed to rising temperature resulting from human-driven climate warming. One mechanism that enables a ... -
Taxon-specific temporal shifts in pollinating insects in mass-flowering crops and field margins in Ireland
(2021)In intensively cropped agricultural landscapes, the vegetation in edges and hedges (henceforth “field margins”) represents an important semi-natural habitat providing fundamental resources for insect pollinators. We surveyed ... -
A taxonomic revision of the genus Eragrostis (Poaceae) in Thailand
(2013)A taxonomic account of Eragrostis in Thailand is provided, in which 23 species are recognized. An artificial key to species and species descriptions is provided along with distributional and ecological data for all taxa. ... -
Testing DayCent and DNDC model simulations of N2O fluxes and assessing the impacts of climate change on the gas flux and biomass production from a humid pasture.
(2010)Simulation models are one of the approaches used to investigate greenhouse gas emissions and potential effects of global warming on terrestrial ecosystems. DayCent which is the daily time-step version of the CENTURY ... -
Testing DNDC model for simulating soil respiration and assessing the effects of climate change on the CO2 gas flux from Irish agriculture
(2011)Simulation models can be valuable to investigate potential effects of climate change on greenhouse gas emissions from terrestrial ecosystems. DNDC (the DeNitrification-DeComposition model) was tested against observed soil ... -
Testing indicators of biodiversity for plantation forests
(2013)In many parts of the world, plantations make up a considerable proportion of the total forest area. In such regions, the identification of high biodiversity value stands and of management practices to enhance biodiversity ... -
Thank you for not flowering: conservation genetics and gene flow analysis of native and non-native populations of Fraxinus (Oleaceae) in Ireland
(2014)The risks of gene flow between interfertile native and introduced plant populations are greatest when there is no spatial isolation of pollen clouds and phenological patterns overlap completely. Moreover, invasion probabilities ... -
Thomas N. Taylor – Pioneering palaeomycologist (1937–2016)
(2017)IMA De Bary and Ainsworth Medals These Medals represent the highest honours bestowed by the IMA, and presentation of the awards is normally at International Mycological Congresses (IMC). The Committee may, however, choose ... -
Towards a feasible and representative pan-African research infrastructure network for GHG observations
(2018)There is currently a lack of representative, systematic and harmonised greenhouse gas (GHG) observations covering the variety of natural and human-altered biomes that occur in Africa. This impedes the long-term assessment ... -

Tylosis formation and fungal interactions in an Early Jurassic conifer from northern Victoria Land, Antarctica
(2012)Well-preserved fungi occur in permineralized conifer axes from the Lower Jurassic of northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The fungus is characterized by septate hyphae extending through the vascular ray system via penetration ...
