Ground flora of field boundary dry stone walls in the Burren, Ireland
(2020)
Despite the fact that field boundary (dry) stone walls are globally common in rural landscapes, very little research has been carried out regarding them. Dry stone walls may act as refuges for a range of plants and animals, ...
Novel ecosystems: challenges and opportunities for the Anthropocene
(2016)
Novel ecosystems are ecological assemblages that emerge in anthropogenic landscapes where an ecological abiotic or biotic threshold has been passed and can no longer be restored to a previous state. In such landscapes, ...

Anatomical enablers and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis in grasses
(2013)
C4 photosynthesis is a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications to the typical C3 pathway that increases the productivity of plants in warm, sunny, and dry conditions. Despite its complexity, it evolved more than ...
Embedding co-production of nature-based solutions in urban governance: Emerging co-production capacities in three European cities
(2024)
This paper seeks to understand how co-production can become embedded as a collaborative governance practice by which city governments plan, deliver and steward nature-based solutions. To these ends, the paper analyses how ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Variation in sequences containing microsatellite motifs in the perennial biomass and forage grass, Phalaris arundinacea (Poaceae)
(2016)
Forty three microsatellite markers were developed for further genetic characterisation of a forage and biomass grass crop, for which genomic resources are currently scarce. The microsatellite markers were developed from a ...
