Irish Plants

A site about botany and ecology in Ireland.

About me — Jake Dalzell

I am an ecologist based in Belfast. I am interested in grassland biodiversity, especially how interactions between plants and pathogens mediate biodiversity.

My current main project is documenting the plant pathogens of Ireland. I am developing a Field Guide to Plant Pathogens as well as writing an accompanying book encouraging people to get interested in them.

Grasslands to visit

There are lots of species-rich grasslands to visit in Belfast and Co. Down!



The Field: a grassland project in Ballymorran



A Botanical Survey of the Islands in the West of the Lough

These grasslands are very overlooked. I am conducting a survey of them with the generous help of a Plant Study Grant from the BSBI.
