Assessing the conservation status of coastal habitats under Article 17 of the EU Habitats Directive [PDF]

Biological Conservation, 2021
Research on the habitats protected by the European Union's Habitats Directive (HD) has increased rapidly since its adoption in 1992. However, the methods and tools used to assess their conservation status are varied. In this context, we reviewed and summarized the scientific literature related to the coastal Natura 2000 habitats to list and sort ...

Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions [PDF]

Hydrobiologia, 2011
Habitat complexity is one of the most important factors structuring biotic assemblages, yet we still lack basic understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Although it is one of the primary targets in conservation management, no methods are available for comparing complexity across ecosystems, and system-specific qualitative assessment predominates ...
