  • A Catalogue of Irish Pollen Diagrams
    SHORT COMMUNICATION A CATALOGUE OF IRISH POLLEN DIAGRAMS F.J.G. Mitchell, B.S. Stefanini and R. Marchant ABSTRACT The fi rst Irish pollen diagram was published by Gunnar Erdtman in the Irish Naturalists’ Journal in 1927. Since then over 475 pollen diagrams have been produced from locations throughout Ireland from a range of sites and time spans. The data from these pollen diagrams can be used to reconstruct vegetation dynamics over long timescales and so facilitate the investigation of climate change impacts, plant migration and the scale of human-induced landscape change. In this paper we collate the available data from Irish pollen sites into the Irish Pollen Site Database (IPOL) to illustrate their distribution and range. It is intended that this database will be a useful research resource for anyone investigating Irish vegetation history. The database also links to the European and global research agenda surrounding impacts of climate change on ecosystems and associated livelihoods. The IPOL database can be accessed online at www.ipol.ie. F.J.G. Mitchell (corresponding author; email: fraser.

  • Off the Beaten Track
    Off The Beaten Track: Slieve Binnian *Crown Copyright. Route and Distances are approx. Only for guidance.* Sliabh Binnian - Mountain of the little horns (peaks) Within an elliptical area of about 22km by 11km, The Mourne Mountains are among the most famous tourist attractions and perhaps the most popular walking areas in Northern Ireland. The highest point in Northern Ireland, Slieve Donard and the other 34 summits and forests, loughs, rivers and bogs attract visitors all year round. There is something for everyone here from casual "stroller" to dedicated rambler and runner and our rich heritage is written all over them. The Mountains of Mourne were originally known as Beanna Boirche, after a Celtic chieftain and cowherd called Boirche who ruled his little kingdom from Slieve Binnian, the third highest peak in Northern Ireland after Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh. Binnian is called the Mountain of the little horns because of its long summit ridge with several tors (rocky outcrops) that resemble an array of little horns. This route also takes in part of the famous Mourne Wall made from the granite quarried in the Mournes. On average 2m high and 1 metre wide, with virtually no cement to keep it together, it runs for 35km over the tops of 15 mountains and took 18 years between 1904 and 1922 to complete. This walk has been split into two parts. Both can be done in a day but this would require a very early start, ideally between late Spring and early Autumn and a lot of stamina. We opted for one relatively easy walk, an overnight wild camp then the more difficult ascent of Slieve Binnian the next day.

  • From Evidence to Opportunity: State
    From Evidence to Opportunity A Second Assessment of the State of Northern Ireland’s Environment 2013 Ministerial Foreword Our rich and varied natural environment and built heritage lie at the heart of our lives and are central to building a strong economy and sense of well-being. This second report on the State of the Environment in Northern Ireland brings together recent information on how our environment is performing across land, water, sea and air. The indicators and emerging trends show complex interactions between different parts of our environment and how our activities in one area can impact on another. In some areas, such as in water quality and recycling, we are making steady progress whilst in others, such as reversing the decline in our biodiversity, significant challenges remain. We recognise that there are shortfalls and gaps in our knowledge but the evidence highlights how we need to respond. A better understanding of the pressures we face will help us to make the right decisions in creating a healthy and prosperous society which is resilient to change. This report will make a valuable contribution to this process. The challenges identified in our first report on climate change, biodiversity and land use have been brought into even sharper focus as we adopt new approaches to stimulate growth following the global economic downturn. To address these challenges we need to recognise in all our decision-making the full value of the services our natural environment and built heritage provide in underpinning a healthy economy, prosperity and well-being. All of us have a role to play in shaping the environment we want for our future.

THE MOUNTAINS OF MOURNE. BY JAMES GRAY KYD. When we've got all we want we're as quiet as can be Where the Mountains o' Mourne sweep down to the sea. —Irish Song. THE sea-girt Mountains of Mourne have attracted me for many years. Before ever I had seen Ireland I had heard of their charm ; and passing glimpses of their graceful outlines, which later I had had when travelling between Dublin and Belfast, deepened my desire to visit them. One clear sunny day last August, when lying among the heather and the gorse on the rocky head- land of Howth—which forms the northern arm of Dublin Bay—I saw in the distant horizon their wavy outlines rolling down to the sea. I determined then, that I must visit Mourne, aud that right early. It was therefore with a joyful heart that, with a congenial companion, I set out from Dublin in mid- September, bound for the ancient kingdom of Mourne. We had arranged to spend a few days at Greenore, on the southern extremity of Carlingford Lough, and the first near view of the mountains which we got that September evening was one that shall live long in our memory. We had left the city in bright sunshine, but as our train steamed northward, the sun was blotted out by haze, and as we tapered our way to the point of Greenore, the countryside was shrouded in mist.
