Leverage points for improving urban biodiversity conservation in the Anthropocene: A novel ecosystem lens for social-ecological transformation
(2024)Environmental governance faces persistent challenges worldwide, with traditional conservation and restoration policies often proving ineffective against ongoing environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. This is ... -
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 ... -
Ponding of random plastic filter medium due to the fungus Subbaromyces splendens Hesseltine in the treatment of sewage
(1983)Fungi are a common component of the film in the upper regions of percolating filters and are associated with strong sewages and industrial wastewaters. Subbaromyces splendens Hesseltine is reported as growing extensively ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Regional variability in peatland burning at mid-to high-latitudes during the Holocene
(2023)Northern peatlands store globally-important amounts of carbon in the form of partly decomposed plant detritus. Drying associated with climate and land-use change may lead to increased fire frequency and severity in ... -

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 ... -
Finding justice in wild, novel ecosystems: a review through a multispecies lens
(2023)Mainstreaming nature-based solutions in cities has grown in scale and magnitude in recent times but is still considered to be the main challenge for transitioning our cities and their communities to be more climate resilient ... -
An integrated process for planning, delivery, and stewardship of urban nature-based solutions: the Connecting Nature Framework
(2023)Mainstreaming nature-based solutions in cities has grown in scale and magnitude in recent times but is still considered to be the main challenge for transitioning our cities and their communities to be more climate resilient ... -
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 ... -
Assessing fixed depth carbon stocks in soils with varying horizon depths and thicknesses, sampled by horizon
(2017)Soil surveys for improving carbon (C) stock estimates frequently involve soil sampling by pre-determined regular depth-intervals, in order to enable more convenient computation of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. As a ... -

Applying ecosystem accounting to develop a risk register for peatlands and inform restoration targets at catchment scale: a case study from the European region
(2022)Combining natural capital accounting tools and ecosystem restoration approaches builds on existing frameworks to track changes in ecosystem stocks and flows of services and benefits as a result of restoration. This approach ... -
Pollinator selection against toxic nectar as a key facilitator of a plant invasion
(2022)Plant compounds associated with herbivore defence occur widely in floral nectar and can impact pollinator health. We showed previously that Rhododendron ponticum nectar contains grayanotoxin I (GTX I) at concentrations ... -
From science to society: implementing effective strategies to improve wild pollinator health
(2022)Despite a substantial increase in scientific, public and political interest in pollinator health and many practical conservation efforts, incorporating initiatives across a range of scales and sectors, pollinator health ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
