Forest biodiversity maintenance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The global biodiversity loss within forest ecosystems has attracted attention during the last decades. Awareness increased both world-wide and in Sweden, which led to changes in the Swedish forests policy.

Urbanization alters fungal functional composition in boreal ecosystems by favouring larger‐spore fungi and pathogenic fungi

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization is a major threat to biodiversity, ultimately influencing ecosystem functions. Fungi, a highly taxonomically and functionally diverse group of organisms, underpin many of these ecosystem functions from nutrient cycling to symbiotic interactions.

Remote sensing and spectroscopy of lichens

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Lichens are combinations of two symbiotic organisms, a green alga or cyanobacterium and a fungus. They grow in nearly all terrestrial ecosystems and survive in habitats, which are very dry or cold, or too poor in nutrients to maintain vegetation growth ...

The influence of tree age and microhabitat quality on the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Questions: How do tree age, microhabitat characteristics and epiphytic competitors affect the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks? How do microhabitat characteristics and microclimate affect the cover of competitors (bryophytes and ...

Ecological effects of habitat complexity vary with intertidal elevation: Implications for seawall eco‐engineering

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results demonstrate that the addition of habitat complexity through eco‐engineering can promote key functional groups of algae and invertebrates on seawalls, but effects vary across tidal elevation gradients and with the type of complexity provided.

Neglecting non‐vascular plants leads to underestimation of grassland plant diversity loss under experimental nutrient addition

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
In nine grassland sites in Europe and North America, nutrient addition caused a larger relative decline in non‐vascular plant (NVP) than vascular plant species richness. Hence, not accounting for NVPs can lead to underestimation of losses in plant diversity in response to continued nutrient pollution of grasslands.
