Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

The distributional range of the Wallcreeper in Switzerland is predicted to greatly expand with global warming, primarily due to expansion of suitable conditions during the winter. ABSTRACT Montane species are predicted to respond to climate change by moving upslope, particularly high elevation specialists with thermal niches adapted to cold ...

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Busy Beavers: The Turbidity Signature of Ecosystem Engineers at Work
Conceptual model of the impacts of beaver wetlands on water turbidity. A: Stream reach without beaver modification. B: Stream reach following beaver modification in the form of dam construction and canal and burrow excavation (first two ponds in a cascade shown).

Abstract While large carnivore expansion is a conservation success, it increasingly challenges pastoralism. Beyond economic value, pastoralism provides critical biodiversity and sociocultural benefits, recognized by the UN and the EU's ‘High Nature Value farming’ designation.

Background. Aquatic vegetation is a sensitive indicator of wetland ecosystem conditions, particularly peat bogs. In the Syra Pogonia protected area, vegetation reflects the effects of past anthropogenic impacts (land reclamation).

Three times harvester processing and motor‐manual bark gouging effectively reduce bark beetles, enabling two options: permanent on‐site retention for biodiversity conservation, or up to 2 years of intermediate on‐site storage with no treatment effect on blue‐stain fungi colonization or energy content, thereby buffering operational bottlenecks during ...
