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 ... -
Biological communities and environmental controls in a seasonal wetland habitat
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2017)In a context of global biodiversity decline, ponds have been identified as biologically rich habitats, and temporary ponds can support distinct communities of rare species. Some pond habitats, including dune slacks, are ... -
A taxonomic revision and systematics study of Prunus L. (s.l.) in continental Southeast Asia
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2024)This thesis aims to provide a complete account of the genus Prunus L. for Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In addition, the relevant specific problems of Prunus in Southeast Asia are outlined, and the generic ... -
Genotyping for the study of population genetics and trait evaluation in Picea sitchensis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2024)Genotyping provides information on the genetic makeup of an individual or a population of individuals. Molecular markers are commonly used as an affordable method of genotyping individuals, and the most popular modern ... -
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 ... -
Impacts of land use and climate change on carbon and greenhouse gas dynamics of Irish peatland ecosystems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)Peatlands are wetlands that are found on every continent except Antarctica, covering around 3% of the global land area and are the largest terrestrial soil organic carbon store. They are estimated to store around 550 ... -
People, nature, and sustainability: A critical analysis of bioeconomy and natural capital
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)The last century has been characterised by rising socio-economic measures of wellbeing against a backdrop of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. This trend threatens the positive contributions nature makes to ... -
Impact of landscape characteristics on flower-visiting insects in agricultural environments across Europe
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)In the last few decades, there has been growing concern about the decline in insect communities in Europe, including pollinators. One-third of syrphids and butterflies are considered to be in decline, and nearly one out ... -
Characterising pesticide residues in floral resources for bees
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)Pesticide use in agriculture is one of the main factors driving pollinator declines. Bees are highly important pollinators and may be at risk from exposure to pesticide compounds while foraging for pollen and nectar. In ... -
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 ... -
Persistency and genomic tools in forage grasses
Perennial ryegrass (PRG; Lolium perenne) is the most widely cultivated forage grass species in Ireland. Despite its widespread use, there have been meagre gains in the improvement of agronomically important traits, including ... -
People and Nature in anthropogenic landscapes: an ecological perspective
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)Nature-based Solutions have been a popular research topic within the sustainability literature for last decade. Conceived of as a more sustainable alternative to engineered solutions, solutions founded in nature are promised ...
