Abstract: The National Soil Database has produced a national database of soil geochemistry including point and spatial distribution maps of major nutrients, major elements, essential trace elements, trace elements of special interest and minor elements. In addition, this study has generated a National Soil Archive, comprising bulk soil samples and a nucleic acids archive each of which represent a valuable resource for future soils research in Ireland. The geographical coherence of the geochemical results was considered to be predominantly underpinned by underlying parent material.....

Abstract: Ireland has significant quantities of livestock; meat exportation is a vibrant sector of the economy. Environmental management of animal wastes has therefore become an important concern. On the other hand in the last decade, national and EU policy debate has highlighted the need to investigate alternative energy: in particular energy for transport. This study investigates the quantities of animal wastes produced in Ireland and their potential treatment using Anaerobic Digestion technologies. In 2005 Ireland had.....

Keywords: Parasitic Hymenoptera, Biodiversity, Agricultural grassland
Last Update To This Resource Metadata: Tuesday 3rd June 2008 at 20:07:01 (03-06-2008)
Abstract: This study set out to test the hypothesis that parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Parasitica) are suitable bioindicators for, and can provide a useful means to assess, the wider biodiversity of arthropod populations in agro-ecosystems. A total of 178 genera of parasitoid Hymenoptera were identified in agricultural grasslands during the study. These identifications have been verified by independent taxonomic experts, and include ten taxa not previously recorded from Ireland. All taxa, including the new records were collected from moderately-to-intensively managed grasslands, suggesting that even in such commonplace habitats there may be much Irish biodiversity yet to be discovered. Using multiple data sets, we show that in agricultural grasslands both the abundance and diversity of parasitoid wasp.....

Abstract: Within the National Development Plan 2007?2013, it is recognised that there is a need for additional housing for our growing population. The National Spatial Strategy (NSS) is designed to identify where such new housing might be located, so as to provide for regionally balanced and sustainable development. It was recognised that the effectiveness of the National Spatial Strategy would benefit from additional policy-relevant information on the current sustainability of Irish settlements. Subsequent research calls by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognised the need to bridge this gap in our knowledge......
