The agri-environment of turloughs

Thanks to a Marie Curie post-doc fellowship, three strands of research on turloughs have been pursued in collaboration with Applied Ecology Unit of the Environmental Science Centre within the Environmental Change Institute of the National University of Ireland, Galway:
