Application of the DNDC model to predict emissions of N2O from Irish agriculture.
(2009)A mechanistic model that describes N fluxes from the soil, DeNitrification DeComposition (DNDC), was tested against seasonal and annual data sets of nitrous oxide flux from a spring barley field and a cut and grazed pasture ... -
Reproductive biology of the invasive exotic shrub, Rhododendron ponticum L. (Ericaceae)
(Blackwell, 2007)The reproductive biology of an exotic species will affect its ability to become naturalized and invasive in non-native habitats. Rhododendron ponticum is an ecologically damaging exotic weed in the British Isles, which ... -

The ecology and native status of pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Ireland
(2006)Research to determine the native status of Pinus sylvestris in Ireland has so far produced ambiguous results. P. sylvestris is included in the Native Woodland Scheme, which is administered by the Forest Service and provides ... -

Ant assemblages in successional stages of Scotch Broom stands
(Osterreichische Gesellschaft fur Entomofaunistik, 2006)Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius [L.] LINK) stands are important seminatural habitats in cultural landscapes of Ger-many. High structural diversity of broom stands is reflected by a high species diversity of the flora and ... -
Homing ability of the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris
(2001)The ability of bumblebees to locate their nest site following artificial displacement was investigated. Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) workers were marked with numbered tags and displaced up to 15 km from their ... -
Pollination of invasive Rhododendron ponticum (Ericaceae) in Ireland
(EDP Sciences, 2007)Several insect species visited exotic Rhododendron ponticum flowers, but bumblebees were most common. Only bumblebees (and one Vespula) contacted the flower stigma whilst foraging and are probably the main pollinators. ... -
Pollination ecology and seed production of Rhododendron ponticum in native and exotic habitats
(Springer, 2006)Alien plants may be reproductively limited in exotic habitats because of a lack of mutualistic pollinators. However, if plants are adequately served by generalist pollinators, successful reproduction, naturalisation and ... -
Does size matter? Bumblebee behaviour and the pollination of Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae).
(EDP Sciences, 2000)The effects of forager body size and floral display size on pollinator behaviour were assessed in a relatively specialised plant-pollinator system. Cytisus scoparius, which has structurally complex, nectarless flowers is ...
