More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Associations of genetic and spectral diversity in European beech

, 2023
Biodiversity loss presents a growing threat to the global environment, and systematic and spatially contiguous monitoring is needed to inform mitigation strategies. Monitoring of genetic diversity within species, a key factor when assessing biodiversity loss, is laborious and could be supported by scalable phenotypic observations ...

Large‐scale characterization of horizontal forest structure from remote sensing optical images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Sub‐meter resolution remote sensing data and tree crown segmentation techniques hold promise in offering detailed information that can support the characterization of forest structure from a horizontal perspective, offering new insights in the tree crown structure at scale.

Climatic predictors influences VFWD macromycetes diversity through dominant tree' ecology in beech forests in the North-Eastern Romania [PDF]

Journal of Plant Development, 2018
Lignicolous macromycetes plays are a vital part of forest ecosystems in Europe. They are involved in Carbon cycle, through decay processes of woody debris.

An episodic event of pollen transport of European beech [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2010
Abstract. The meteorological impacts on pollen emission and spread in a typical Central European forest of mixed deciduous and coniferous trees are investigated. Pollen samples as well as meteorological measurements have been conducted during the flowering period of spring flowering tree species in 2009.

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.

Competition for nitrogen between European beech and sycamore maple shifts in favour of beech with decreasing light availability [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2014
Plant species use different strategies for maximizing growth and fitness under changing environmental conditions. At the ecosystem level, seedlings in particular compete with other vegetation components for light and nitrogen (N), which often constitute growth-limiting resources.

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Joining of the historical research and future prediction as a support tool for the assessment of management strategy for European beech-dominated forests in protected areas

Nature Conservation, 2017
European beech-dominated forests are crucial for maintaining biodiversity in forested mountain landscapes of the European temperate zone. This paper presents the results of research and assessment of management strategy for mountain beech-dominated ...

The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus
