A comparison of monitoring methods for inferring demographics of a pond‐breeding amphibian population over 14 years

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used 4 sampling methods to estimate or index the abundance and sex ratio of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) over 14 years. The present study highlights the importance of considering individual heterogeneity in capture probability when estimating abundance of pond‐breeding amphibians from capture data with imperfect detection.

Fir-dominated forests in Bavaria, Germany

open access: yes, 2005
The map of “Regional natural forest composition by main tree species” (WALENTOWSKI et al. 2001) depicts Bavaria as a region largely predominated by the European beech (Fagus sylvatica).

Land-use history influence the vegetation in coniferous production forests in southern Sweden

open access: yes, 2019
During the last centuries, land use in Europe intensified, which has led to a drastic decrease in the cover of semi-natural grasslands. In Sweden, much of the lost grasslands was turned into forest.

The capacity of ion adsorption and purification for coniferous forests is stronger than that of broad-leaved forests

open access: yes, 2021
In the past few decades, industrialization has caused a large number of pollutants to be released into the atmosphere. Forest ecosystems play an important function in regulating the biogeochemistry and the circulation of metal ions pollutants.

Coupling Water Purification and Carbon Sequestration at Various Spatial Scales From Supply and Demand Perspective

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Mapping of intact forest landscapes in Sweden according to Global forest watch methodology

open access: yes, 2012
Currently, most of the world’s forests are directly or indirectly affected by some kind of human activity. More people are getting concerned with the state of tropical forests.

Impact of Nitrogen Deposition on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Peatlands Under Land‐Use Change

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition significantly alters carbon and N dynamics in peatlands by affecting microbial processes, enhancing greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching into adjacent waters. However, how peatland conversion for agriculture and forestry influences the fate of added N under elevated atmospheric deposition remains ...

Design of a register of melliferous plants in Bulgaria based on literature review and field‐validated records

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Melliferous vegetation in Bulgaria plays a key role in maintaining biodiversity and providing ecosystem services such as pollination. The diversity of melliferous vegetation is essential for the sustainable development of honeybee Apis mellifera colonies.

Foraging, roosting and survival of Natterer’s bats, Myotis Nattereri, in a commercial coniferous plantation

open access: yes, 2015
I studied Natterer's bats in Tentsmuir Forest, a 9143-hectare commercial coniferous plantation on the NE coast of Fife, Scotland that has been planted predominantly with Scots and Corsican pine.

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...
