Agricultural Need for Sustainable Willow Effluent Recycling

Start date: Oct 31, 2010, End date: Oct 30, 2014,

Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) Willow (Salix spp.) can take up large amounts of water and nutrients and is therefore ideally suited to use for the biofiltratfion and bioremediation of effluents and sludges. All three regions (Northern Ireland, border areas of the Republic of Ireland and South West Scotland) have difficulties with the environmentally sustainable disposal of sewage effluents. There ...

Development of targeted ecological modeling tools for lake management

Start date: Jan 31, 2011, End date: Jan 30, 2014,

The project will develop lake management tools that integrate the biological, hydromorphological, and physico-chemical properties of lakes with lake and catchment variables. The models will provide frameworks for evaluating the effects of measures, adopted in catchments, to improve or maintain the ecological status of lakes. This will allow Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to create ...

Advanced Tests about New Toxins appeared in Atlantic Area (Atlantox)

Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Dec 30, 2010,

The effects of climate change and global temperature rising are imminent, irreversible and they impact directly or indirectly on the marine environment and population. Marine ecosystems are under the effects produced by fluctuation in water temperature; this is responsible for the settlement of favorable ecological conditions for toxins reproduction. Although the Atlantic area coast is not probabl ...

MESH - Development of a framework for Mapping European Seabed Habitats (MESH)

Start date: Apr 30, 2003, End date: Apr 29, 2007,

The MESH project, led by the UKs Joint Nature Conservation Committee, will focus on seabed areas within the NWE. Their diverse habitats and biodiversity are important food and energy resources as well as essential components of the ecosystem. The 12 partners from the MESH project will respond to the growing pressures on seabed habitats by putting in place a spatial planning framework. The main out ...
