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 ... -
Isolation and characterisation of novel fungal root endophytes from Elymus repens (Poaceae) for resistance to Fusarium, Gaeummanomyces and Pyrenophora
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2019)Barley diseases are predominantly controlled using genetic resistance and fungicides. However, pathogen populations are becoming increasingly tolerant to the active compounds in fungicides and the European Union is endorsing ... -
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 ... -
Using ecosystem services to measure the degree to which a solution is nature-based
(2021)There has been a recent surge of interest in Nature-based Solutions, a concept encompassing a broad suite of ideas that have arisen from the intersection of ecology, engineering, sociology and economics. Solutions founded ...
