ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Abstract Drained and cultivated grasslands on peat soils behave as a significant source of greenhouse gasses by oxidation. However, the lack of empirical estimates of carbon losses from peatlands with adequate spatial and temporal resolution has forced researchers to rely on process‐based model approximations to make quantitative, regional‐ or national‐

Decision making in conservation science often relies on the best available information, but existing models are rarely reproducible, transferrable, or accessible. We sought to reproduce and evaluate the suitability of the two best available models for predicting impacts of proposed mining on boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in ...

Arctic ecosystems like Svalbard are rapidly changing, yet soil microarthropods remain difficult to monitor due to limited baseline data and demanding field and identification work. Using 172 soil samples from 33 localities, we tested whether vegetation maps could serve as proxies for soil microarthropod communities.
