Soil Properties and their Influence on Grassland Production under Low Input and Organic Farming Conditions [PDF]
End of project reportThis project set out to identify soil properties that most influence grassland production under low mineral nitrogen input conditions. Sixteen farms were selected in Counties Limerick and Clare and the soil sampled. Soil physical and

The Key Role and Recent Advances of Single‐Atom Catalysts in Sustainable Energy Conversion
This review comprehensively summarizes the recent advances of single‐atom catalysts (SACs) in sustainable energy conversion. Emphasis is placed on their applications in water splitting, CO₂ reduction, nitrogen fixation, and oxygen reduction reactions.

A set of ecosystem service indicators for European grasslands based on botanical surveys
Background Grasslands provide a wide range of ecosystem services (ESs). However, there is currently no method for easily diagnosing the level of ESs produced.

Habitat heterogeneity and demographic processes create variability in the major taxonomic diversity trends: 1) biotic homogenization and 2) the emergence of novel community compositions. Nonetheless, little is known about how the imprints of environmental filtering and random demographic processes on community dissimilarity vary over 1) time or 2 ...

Age‐related changes in root dynamics of a novel perennial grain crop
Background Standing root biomass stocks are larger in the perennial grain intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth and Dewey) than annual spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

A guide to organic grassland [PDF]
Organic farming systems in the UK are traditionally based on ley/arable crop rotations. Up to 70% of the farmed area comprises of mixed grass and legume leys. These leys offer a powerful mechanism for supplying nitrogen through their potential to harvest

Scalogram habitat measures as predictors of bird abundance
Birds select habitat characteristics, such as variability in habitat structure, across multiple spatial scales (grain and extent). Measuring habitat variability at multiple scales can better capture factors that influence avifauna communities than focusing on one scale only. One valuable tool in assessing habitat heterogeneity is the cumulative dynamic

Museum specimens offer a unique and powerful tool for understanding the impact of anthropogenic change on populations over time. Morphological traits can be impacted by many different environmental variables that are difficult to separate from one another as potential driving factors.
