The study concludes that bryophyte cover and macrolichen richness are goods metric for assessing stone wall habitat quality, while farm management intensity and altitude emerged as the strongest predictors of this richness and cover.

[ATU Open Access Repositories @ATU_OpenAccess]

Farmland stone walls are recognised in Ireland as historically and culturally important features of our landscape, but their ecology is under-studied.

[ATU Open Access Repositories @ATU_OpenAccess]

Researchers from @MfrcATU, @teagasc, @uniofgalway and @CREAF_ecologia, including Sara Ruas, set out to assess the ecological quality of stone walls in Irish agricultural landscapes by measuring the richness and cover of bryophytes and macrolichens in these habitats.

📜Stephen Hannon and Mairéad Cluskey, two lecturers of our ATU Mayo campus, are involved in a new professional practice journal, Lasmuigh, which aims to inform and reflect the outdoor education field in Ireland by reporting on and sharing good practices: https://t.co/3lvPGYDCHi

[ATU Open Access Repositories @ATU_OpenAccess]

All three articles contribute to our understanding of the prevalence of microplastics in Ireland's aquatic habitants, an important bedrock for proposing solutions to the issue at national and international governmental levels.

[ATU Open Access Repositories @ATU_OpenAccess]

Three recent additions to our @ATU_OpenAccess explore various aspects of #Microplastics and our marine and riverine environments.

[ATU Open Access Repositories @ATU_OpenAccess]

A third paper, from 2020, saw James O'Connor and his co-authors examine the prevalence of microplastics in brown trout in an Irish river system.

The Irish Basking Shark Group website has an article explaining the significance of the findings: https://t.co/BZfsb8Trjg.

[ATU Open Access Repositories @ATU_OpenAccess]

As part of our re-launch, over the next few weeks we'll be highlighting some of the articles and theses recently added to ATU's Open Access Repositories.

[ATU Open Access Repositories @ATU_OpenAccess]

One of the paper's co-authors is Dr Simon Berrow of ATU's @MfrcATU and @IWDGnews.
