Sectoral Impacts on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Invasive Species & Roads Workshop May 23rd 2013 Trinity College Dublin _______________________________________________ Halting the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services remains a key challenge of the 21st century. Invasive species are now recognised as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity globally and in Ireland. The SIMBIOSYS Project contributed to tackling this challenge by studying the impacts of road developments on alien species invasion and resistance. Workshop Objectives and Outcomes This workshop aims to: Provide an overview of invasive plants and their ecology. Provide an overview of national and international legislation, policy and guidelines concerning the management of invasive alien plants on roads. Disseminate the outputs from recent research activities on the impact of roads on biodiversity and ecosystem services Demonstrate with practical examples perspectives on invasive plant management through biological, physical and chemical control. Invited national and international experts and SIMBIOSYS researchers will deliver a series of presentations at the workshop and welcomes participants from local authorities, the construction, landscaping and horticultural sectors, the scientific research community, relevant decision makers, and the interested public. Further details of the speakers and presentations will be announced soon.
