“…The heathlands of the Blackstairs Mountains are deemed to be in favourable condition overall, although some areas are damaged due to inappropriate re management and grazing regimes (Tubridy et al, 2015). Inappropriate stocking levels and the overuse of re management has led to increasing bracken cover in many places as well as exacerbated erosion rates on the upper slopes.…”

Ecological monitoring is a vital tool to help us assess habitat condition and understand the mechanism(s) for habitat change. Yet many countries struggle to meet their monitoring requirements in part due to the high assessment workload. Rapid ecological assessment methods may have an important role to play in this regard. Following their success within several European habitats (e.g., semi-natural grasslands), they are now being developed for additional habitats such as heathlands, peatlands, and other agri-associated areas. Whilst some rapid assessments using ecological scorecards have been shown to be accurate compared to traditional ecological monitoring, less is known about the functionality of these scorecards in heterogenous landscapes. In this study, we selected four existing scorecards to test alongside a prototype. We assessed how these different scorecards measured habitat condition on the same heathland sites. We found that the choice of metrics, their score weighting, and the thresholds used for categorical scores cause scorecards to assess the same site with substantial variation (37%). Vegetation metrics were the primary cause of score variation, with vegetation structure and positive indicator species being the leading causes. Our study indicates that while current scorecards may be representative of project-specific goals, they may not be suitable for wider monitoring uses in their current form. Ecological scorecards have great potential to drastically increase the extent of monitoring, but caution is needed before adapting existing scorecards beyond the purposes from which they were designed.

“…This voice speaking in two tongues further complicates the already uncertain status of the voice that speaks in Beckett's writing.' 15 By contrast, Beckett experimented with what might be called intensive or qualitative multiplicities. After the somewhat stable characters in such early works as More Pricks than Kicks and Murphy, the characters in Beckett's later novels have an odd way of changing form or name, evolving, deteriorating, fragmenting, or disaggregating.…”

Deleuze, Beckett, and the Art of Multiplicity

The relationship between Gilles Deleuze and Samuel Beckett has excited many scholars and continues to be of major interest today. This article explores the Deleuzian concept of multiplicity by considering quantitative and qualitative multiplicities in Beckett’s work. In differentiating between these two types, Deleuze and Félix Guattari indicate that extensive or quantitative multiplicities are essentially numerical and can be counted and represented in space. This form of multiplicity is seen in Beckett’s use of various lists of items such as Molloy counting his sucking stones or Watt considering how to dispose of Mr Knott’s food. Qualitative multiplicities, by contrast, cannot be counted because they differ in kind from one another. They are represented in duration and are here observed in the minorization of language in How It Is, among other examples. S. E. Wilmer is Professor Emeritus of Drama at Trinity College in Dublin. His most recent publications include Performing Statelessness in Europe (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018) and (with co-editor Radek Przedpełski) Deleuze, Guattari, and the Art of Multiplicity (Edinburgh University Press, 2020). He is currently co-editing the Palgrave Handbook of Theatre and Migration.

Samuel Beckett's Geological Imagination

Byron

Samuel Beckett's Geological Imagination addresses the ubiquity of earthy objects in Beckett's prose, drama and poetry, exploring how mineral and archaeological objects bear upon the themes, narrative locus, and sensibilities of Beckett's texts in surprisingly varied ways. By deploying figures of ruination and excavation with etymological self-awareness, Beckett's late prose narratives – Company, Ill Seen Ill Said, and Worstward Ho – comprise a late-career meditation on the stratigraphic layerings of language and memory over an extended writing career. These layers comprise an embodied record of writing in their allusions to literary history and to Beckett's own oeuvre.
