    Voorspelde veranderingen in natuur-, landbouw- en stedelijk gebied tot 2020 bij ongewijzigd ruimtelijk beleid zijn met behulp van diverse rekenmodellen beoordeeld op hun effecten voor natuur, landschap en recreatie. Het areaal natuurgebied neemt met 32 toe; het landbouwareaal neemt af met 7-15. De natuurkwaliteit verbetert hierdoor aanzienlijk. De toename van woonbebouwing ligt voor driekwart binnen landschappelijk waardevolle gebieden. De recreatieve vraag groeit met 21 ten gevolge van bevolkingsgroei en vergrijzing.

    Characterizing soil erosion hazard and its spatial variability is critical for maintaining
    user confidence in planning soil- and water- conservation programmes and general
    land-use management. Predicting the average rates of soil erosion for a combination
    of specific soil and land-use types is vital. This is because such predictions form a
    basis for providing guidelines for effective erosion control.
    The purpose of this investigation was to examine the erosion effects of alternative

Although some studies have been carried out the determination of the carbon stores and sinks in Irish forests will require a considerable research effort in the future.
