Modelled habitat suitability of fungi in floodplains

open access: yesProceedings of the 5th European Congress of Conservation Biology, 2018
To maximize restoration efforts, knowledge on habitat key structures and potential for species occurrence is crucial for conservation. Contemporary protected areas such as national parks and nature reserves can provide refugia for fungal species. Still, the relative importance of single areas might vary across species, especially as they might have ...
