A potential solution to mitigate phosphorus release following clearfelling in peatland forest catchments
O’Driscoll, Connie; Rodgers, Michael; O’Connor, Mark; Asam, Zaki-ul-Zaman; de Eyto, Elvira; Poole, Russell; Xiao, Liwen (Springer Nature, 2011-02-16)Since the 1950s, large areas of upland peat have been afforested in northern European countries. Due to the poor phosphorus (P) adsorption capacity and low hydraulic permeability in blanket peat soil and increased labile ... -
Assessment and mitigation of forest clearfelling impacts on salmonid receiving waters
O'Driscoll, Connie (2012-09-03)It was estimated that about 500,000 hectare (ha) of peatland was afforested between the 1950s and 1990s in the UK and 300,000 ha in Ireland. Many of these blanket peat forests are now reaching harvestable age and concerns ... -
Biotic response to forest harvesting in acidic blanket peat fed streams: a case study from ireland
O'Driscoll, Connie; de Eyto, Elvira; O’Connor, Mark; Asam, Zaki-ul-Zaman; Rodgers, Michael; Xiao, Liwen (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) -
Cycling and transport of phosphorus and nitrogen from harvested peatland forests and possible mitigation and methods
Asam, Zaki-Ul-Zaman (2012-11-16)Drainage of peatlands has been part of forestry practice since the early 20th century. In Ireland and the UK, approximately 800,000 ha of peat catchments were drained and afforested between the 1950s and 1990s. A large ... -
Diatom assemblages and their associated environmental factors in upland peat forest rivers
O’Driscoll, Connie; de Eyto, Elvira; Rodgers, Michael; O’Connor, Mark; Asam, Zaki-ul-Zaman; Xiao, Liwen (Elsevier BV, 2012-07-01) -
Forest clearfelling effects on dissolved oxygen and metabolism in peatland streams
O'Driscoll, Connie; O'Connor, Mark; Asam, Zaki-ul-Zaman; de Eyto, Elvira; Brown, Lee E.; Xiao, Liwen (Elsevier BV, 2016-01-01) -
Livestockwaste 2016- international conference on recent advances in pollution control and resource recovery for the livestock sector

Microbial Lipid production from potato processing waste water and simultaneous nutrient removal using oleaginous fungi
Muniraj, Iniya Kumar (2012-10-09)Microbial lipids can be used as a feedstock for biodiesel production, and use of biowastes as the substrate for microbial lipid production can reduce its production cost. The aims of this research include: (i) isolation ... -
Phosphorus release from forest harvesting on an upland blanket peat catchment
Rodgers, Michael; O’Connor, Mark; Healy, Mark Gerard; O’Driscoll, Connie; Asam, Zaki-ul-Zaman; Nieminen, Mika; Poole, Russell; Müller, Markus; Xiao, Liwen (Elsevier BV, 2010-12-01) -
Ptaquiloside in irish bracken ferns and receiving waters, with implications for land managers
O’Driscoll, Connie; Ramwell, Carmel; Harhen, Brendan; Morrison, Liam; Clauson-Kaas, Frederik; Hansen, Hans; Campbell, Graeme; Sheahan, Jerome; Misstear, Bruce; Xiao, Liwen (MDPI AG, 2016-04-26)Ptaquiloside, along with other natural phytotoxins, is receiving increased attention from scientists and land use managers. There is an urgent need to increase empirical evidence to understand the scale of phytotoxin ... -
Spatial and seasonal variation of peatland-fed riverine macroinvertebrate and benthic diatom assemblages and implications for assessment: a case study from ireland
O’Driscoll, Connie; de Eyto, Elvira; Rodgers, Michael; O’Connor, Mark; Asam, Zaki-ul-Zaman; Kelly, Martyn; Xiao, Liwen (Springer Nature, 2014-01-22)Blanket peat catchments are important biodiversity refugia. Key pressures on peatland catchment water bodies include artificial drainage, forestry, over-grazing, wind farm development and climate change, and assessment of ... -
Suspended solid yield from forest harvesting on upland blanket peat
Rodgers, Michael; O'Connor, Mark; Robinson, Mark; Muller, Markus; Poole, Russell; Xiao, Liwen (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-09-07) -
Whole-tree harvesting and grass seeding as potential mitigation methods for phosphorus export in peatland catchments
O’Driscoll, Connie; O’Connor, Mark; Asam, Zaki-ul-Zaman; Eyto, Elvira de; Poole, Russell; Rodgers, Michael; Zhan, Xinmin; Nieminen, Mika; Xiao, Liwen (Elsevier BV, 2014-05-01)
