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

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

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

Variations in Ecosystem-Scale Methane Fluxes Across a Boreal Mire Complex Assessed by a Network of Flux Towers. [PDF]
This study used methane emission data from four flux towers across a mire complex located in northern Sweden, over a period of 3 years (2020–2022). We found that plant productivity and soil temperature were the primary controls of the temporal variations in methane emissions, while physical and chemical properties of the peat soil determined their ...

New data on the distribution of Menyanthes trifoliata, Carex limosa and Comarum palustre in "Torfeno Branishte" Reserve, "Vitosha" Natural Park, Bulgaria [PDF]
"Torfeno Branishte" is a Reserve located in "Vitosha" Natural Park, Bulgaria. It was established in 1935 to preserve the peat communities in the high parts of Vitosha Mountain in their natural state. The reserve comprises Bulgaria’s most significant complex of high mountain peatlands.

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
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 ...
