FennoTraits: dataset of plant functional traits and community composition in northern European flora
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.We present here FennoTraits, a dataset of plant functional trait and community composition data collected from Fennoscandia across northern Finland, Norway, and Sweden in 2016–2025. This dataset has 42 049 abundance estimations and 155 794 site‐level functional trait observations from 10 traits representing 373 vascular plant species collected from ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The rapid decline of African wildlife populations demands immediate action to mitigate further losses and restore ecosystems. A key factor influencing wildlife distribution is the relationship between the energetic needs of species and the availability of forage, both in terms of quality and quantity.
