ERTDI Report 46 - Special Report - O'Mara, January 2006
Year: 2006
Emission factors for methane from enteric fermentation and manure management were developed for the categories of the Irish cattle herd for which data on animal numbers are available from the Central Statistics Office.
ERTDI Report 47 - Tomlinson, January 2006
Year: 2006
Estimates of baseline inventories of carbon stocks in vegetation (biomass) and in soils. It is essential to know the carbon stores and fluxes (emissions to or fixation from the atmosphere) of land-cover types and land-cover/soil combinations so that policy may be directed.

Report by URS Ireland Ltd for the Environmental Protection Agency on the implementation of EC Regulation 2037/2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer
Final Report (2001-EEA/DS-10-M2) - Finn et al., June 2005
Year: 2005
The aim of this study was to identify and select quantitative environmental attributes for a monitoring programme that may be integrated into an environmental evaluation of Ireland’s agri–environmental scheme.

ERTDI Report 36 - Mc Grath et al., May 2005
Year: 2005
An analysis of future Irish climate conditions for 2021–2060, based on outputs from a new regional climate modelling facility in Met Éireann
Final Report (2000-MS-5-M1) - Lucy et al , May 2005
Year: 2005
This study aims to quantify the total number and biomass of zebra mussels and assess changes to the population during the course of the study. Relevant water parameters and phytoplankton samples were analysed; direct ecological changes were also noted during the project.
Final Report - ERTDI Report 24 - Ó Riain et al , May 2005
Year: 2005
The development of a methodology for identifying water-dependent habitats and hence protected areas with such habitats. It recorded these sites in digital form within a combined database and mapping system and recorded the water-dependent habitats and the species they contain.
Final Report - ERTDI report 28 - Stewart, May 2005
Year: 2005
The project examined a potential solution to some aspects of the problem of slurry disposal from large-scale intensive pig units.
ERTDI Report 23 - Scott, May 2005
Year: 2005
Examines the implementation of a fertiliser tax as an incentive to farmers to apply fertilisers more sensitively with the objective of reducing contamination.
Final Report - ERTDI Report 41 - Kurz et al , May 2005
Year: 2005
Project measuring the impact of cattle on soil physical properties relevant to the hydrological characteristics of a site, and assessing whether their presence is likely to influence the quality of the overland flow produced at a site.
ERTDI Report 38 - Final Report - Daly et al , May 2005
Year: 2005
An examination of the impact of soil chemical properties on P sorption and desorption, so that a risk assessment of P loss from soil types could be developed using identifiable soil chemical characteristics.

Synthesis Report - ERTDI Report 27 - Gill et al , January 2005
Year: 2005
The results from four separate field trials at separate sites covering a range of different subsoil types, whereby two sites were discharging septic tank effluent into conventional percolation areas and the other two were discharging secondary treated effluent from a peat filter into similar percolation areas.
Final Report (2002-W-DS/11-M1)- Irvine et al , January 2005
Year: 2005
Identifies and reviews many situations where mathematical modelling can be a useful tool to assist in the understanding of hydrological and chemical transport and processes that occur in catchments, and the ecological response to anthropogenic alterations that affect them.
Final Report - ERTDI Report 31 - Kelly-Quinn et al , January 2005
Year: 2005
A survey of 50 sites previously classified as high quality by the EPA, to determine whether they were of high ecological status (and thus could be used as reference conditions) and to use these spatial reference sites to develop the river typology for the Water Framework Directive.
Final Report (2000-MS-2-M2)- Tarrant et al , January 2005
Year: 2005
A study that asks whether Irish rivers contain estrogenic compounds. If so, at what concentrations? Are these levels likely to pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems, particularly wild fish? Is there a risk to drinking water supplies?

Year: 2005
Report on the use of modelling non-point phosphorus loss from rural catchments in terms of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) objectives. The study focuses on physically based catchment-scale models which to date have not been applied to model phosphorus losses in Ireland.
