Decaying Logs Shape the Distribution of Bird‐Mediated Seed Rain in a Temperate Deciduous Forest
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Sites used by birds for perching and roosting function simultaneously as defecation points, concentrating diaspores transported via endozoochory. In contrast, the role of perching structures in shaping bird‐mediated seed rain within forest ecosystems remains poorly understood.

From forest stand decline to salvage logging: Cascading impacts on saproxylic beetle diversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Given the pronounced context dependency of the processes driving these cascading community dynamics, and considering the increasing frequency, severity and spatial extent of forest disturbances and global stand decline, it is imperative to integrate this complexity into management and conservation frameworks.

Moisture reduces saproxylic bee, wasp, and parasitoid diversity in lying and standing deadwood
Abstract Saproxylic community assembly is structured both by deadwood and forest habitat gradients, as well as biotic interactions such as competition, predation, and parasitism.

Priority Actions for the Conservation of Primary and Old‐Growth Forests in Europe
Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Primary and old‐growth forests are important for nature and society. Although global commitments to their conservation are increasing and the EU has aligned itself with these efforts, these forests remain critically threatened. Consequently, to meet its own targets rooted in global commitments, the EU needs a strategy that ensures their ...

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Sociologia Ruralis, Volume 66, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT This paper explores the concept of community resilience in the context of cross‐border wildfire management in the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks. It focuses on three interrelated dimensions: institutional preparedness, inclusive community engagement and adaptive learning in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Laser bathymetry on rough riverbed channels: State‐of‐the‐art and future prospects
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.This literature review found that topo‐bathymetric LiDAR has been successfully used to capture the structures of rough riverbeds and detect large boulders. While all of the studies that were reviewed used sensors that were operated from fixed‐wing aircraft, few studies have yet tested UAV‐borne sensors on rough riverbeds, despite the potential offered ...
