Evaluating the accuracy of the EcoservR toolkit for fine‐resolution habitat mapping

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Accurate habitat maps are essential for monitoring ecological change and supporting nature recovery planning. We evaluate the EcoservR rule‐based habitat mapping toolkit using field survey data from Merseyside and the North York Moors, validating classifications across the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Phase 1 hierarchy.

Brown Trout Abundance in Boreal Streams With Large Wood

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Large wood has been found to be a crucial component in riverine ecosystems. However, due to the heavy channelization of rivers and intensive forestry practices over the past few decades, the amount of large wood in these ecosystems has decreased worldwide. River restoration aims to mitigate the effects of channelization and restore the channel
