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 ... -
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 ... -
Examining the policy needs for implementing nature-based solutions in cities: Findings from city-wide transdisciplinary experiences in Glasgow, UK, Genk, Belgium and Poznań, Poland
(2020)To advance the science and practice of implementing nature-based solutions in cities, it is important to examine the obstacles and provide means to overcome them. This paper presents a conceptual framework of policy needs ... -
Nature-based solutions for urban climate change adaptation: linking the science, policy, and practice community for evidence-based decision-making
(2019)Nature-based solutions offer an exciting prospect for resilience building and advancing urban planning to address complex urban challenges simultaneously. In this article, we formulated through a coproduction process in ... -
Plastid genome sequencing reveals biogeographical structure and extensive population genetic variation in wild populations of Phalaris arundinacea L. in north-western Europe.
(2017)New and comprehensive collections of the perennial rhizomatous reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) were made in NW Europe along north-to-south and east-to-west clines from Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Sweden and ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
