Long-Term Ecological Baselines and Critical Thresholds in Ombrotrophic Peatlands of Europe: Implications for Restoration Strategies. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Analyses based on new paleoecological data from peat profiles, support the conclusion that a depth to water table of around 10 cm represents an optimal target for both peatland conservation and restoration. Moreover, our results indicate that over the past 200 years, these ecosystems have undergone substantial changes in hydrological conditions ...

Developing and Validating Species Distribution Models for Wetland Plants Across Europe. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We fitted species distribution models (SDMs) for 265 wetland plant species in Europe. We validated predicted occurrences using independent data. The SDMs showed a high predictive performance, such that our SDMs can be used to predict broad‐scale distributions of wetland plants.

Diversity Drivers of Inland Saline Vegetation-What Unites Them and Divides Them? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We evaluated the drivers of spatial variability and halophyte diversity of inland saline habitats in 13 subregions in temperate Europe. Among the 107 native halophytic plant specialists, the 13 subregions have in common one obligate halophyte and five facultative halophytes.

Seasonality in Diffusive Methane Emissions Differs Between Bog Microforms. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
This study shows that small‐scale landscape features within a boreal bog strongly influence seasonal patterns of methane emissions. By combining ground‐based measurements with high‐resolution drone mapping, the research highlights that wetter areas dominate methane emissions in spring and summer, while emissions from drier areas gain importance in the ...

Seed dormancy types and germination response of 15 plant species in temperate montane peatlands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Nearly, 90% of the tested peatland plant species demonstrate seed dormancy, mainly physiological dormancy.Seed traits, are more likely to influence seed dormancy than environmental factors. Abstract Despite their crucial role in determining the fate of seeds, the type and breaking mode of seed dormancy in peatland plants in temperate Asia with a ...

Nests, Threats, and Leks: Nonrandom Distributions of Nests in Ruffs (<i>Calidris pugnax</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This project investigates the nest distribution of the ruff (Calidris pugnax), an endangered shorebird. Using satellite imaging, we established a suitable breeding area and analyzed the factors influencing nest placement. Our study aims to provide insights that can aid the conservation of this species by understanding nesting behavior and outlining the

Ericoid shrub encroachment shifts aboveground–belowground linkages in three peatlands across Europe and Western Siberia

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 23, Page 6772-6793, December 2023., 2023
Our findings illustrate mechanisms by which plants influence ecosystem responses to climate change, through their effect on microbial trophic interactions. The increase in ericaceous shrubs is marked by higher phenol concentration, DOC and TN in pore water.

Habitat‐based biodiversity responses to macroclimate and edaphic factors in European fen ecosystems

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 23, Page 6756-6771, December 2023., 2023
Predicting the impact of climate change on boreal and temperate fens is a challenging task. We evaluated how Essential Biodiversity Variables responded to macroclimate and edaphic factors across eight ecologically defined European fen habitats. Ecosystem distributions and species richness were primarily influenced by temperature‐related variables ...

Seasonal patterns and controls on net ecosystem CO2 exchange in a boreal peatland complex [PDF]

, 1998
We measured seasonal patterns of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 in a diverse peatland complex underlain by discontinuous permafrost in northern Manitoba, Canada, as part of the Boreal Ecosystems Atmosphere Study (BOREAS).

Sozological peculiarities of the flora of the Desna Plateau (Ukraine)

Biosystems Diversity, 2018
According to the goals and objectives of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation for 2011–2020 studying and monitoring the rare component of regional floras is highly relevant.
