Satellite Remote Sensing of Alpine Vegetation Dynamics: Challenges and Perspectives. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Satellite greening has become a key tool for monitoring alpine vegetation change, but a positive vegetation‐index trend is not an ecological observation in itself. This perspective shows that interpreting alpine greening requires addressing two sequential challenges: methodological complexity, which can bias trends during image processing, and ...

Wood Decomposition in European Rivers Increases With Temperature but Decreases With Human Population Density. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated wood decomposition in rivers across seven catchments and 72 river locations in Europe and found that temperature was the main driver of decomposition rate, with a predicted 4.3% increase per 1°C rise in mean annual temperature. However, climate‐change induced increases in mean annual precipitation and an increased human population ...

Local economic resilience and economic specialization in Greece during the crisis

Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This paper scrutinizes the issue of economic resilience, aiming to detect the existence of a systematic link with economic specialization. To this end, the paper conducts an empirical analysis at the local (i.e., municipal) level of Greece during the economic crisis period (2009–2015), providing cartographic visualizations and spatial ...

Unveiling the Patterns of Wild Bee-Plant Interactions on a Large and Mostly Unexplored Mediterranean Island (Sardinia, Italy). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
An extensive survey of wild bee and bee–plant networks in Sardinia (Italy) highlights high species richness and diversity, particularly in mainland agroecosystems. All interaction networks were highly specialized, modular, and not nested, indicating potential ecological vulnerability, though varying across sites and on a temporal scale.

21st-Century Mangrove Expansion Along the Southeastern United States. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Global warming is driving poleward range shifts worldwide, including the northward expansion of tropical mangroves along the Atlantic coast of North America. In this region, warming winters are enabling mangroves to encroach into salt marsh–dominated temperate latitudes, potentially transforming wetland ecosystem function and services. To assess future
