Conservation of the Cerrado from the valorization of socio-biodiversity products: the importance of production chains and local marketing channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Cerrado occupies an area of about 20 million km2 (approximately 20% of the Brazilian territory), being the second largest national biome and the richest savanna in biodiversity of the planet. Although it covers three regions of the country (Northeast,

Reconciling links between diversity and population stability across global plant communities

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 154-165, April 2026.
Summary Maintaining ecological stability is essential for sustaining ecosystem functions and the benefits they provide to society. Ecological theory predicts that plant diversity destabilizes local populations, yet empirical studies report variable effects.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ASSOCIATED WITH INVASIVE GLOSSY BUCKTHORN (FRANGULA ALNUS MILL.) AND INDIRECT CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR FOREST MANAGERS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Glossy buckthorn (Frangula alnus Mill.) is one of the most prominent non-native invasive plant species affecting New England forests. It quickly invades a forest and can create a dense understory effectively altering the species composition and dynamics

Anthropogenic Infrastructures Shape Brown Bear Movements in Human‐Modified Landscapes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Human activities are major drivers of changes in animal behaviour, resulting in diverse spatial and temporal activity patterns across species. In this study, we analysed telemetry data from brown bears in Finland, Slovakia and Romania, to compare how human infrastructure influences their movement behaviour.

Non‐saproxylic beetles in beech forests: Larval habitat, trophic guild structure in a case study from the Czech Republic

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Beech forests in Central Europe are frequently the focus of entomological studies targeting saproxylic beetle species that depend on deadwood. However, considerably less attention has been paid to non‐saproxylic beetle species. Our research aimed to address this gap by focusing on the diversity and abundance of functional guilds of non ...

Life cycle assessment approach of silviculture and timber harvesting of Norway spruce – a case study in the Czech Republic

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change
Compared to other sectors, the long rotation period in forest management makes it difficult to carry out a life cycle assessment (LCA). Data collection is not possible in a short time frame but would require decades.

The effect of light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on the soil seed bank diversity in temperate forests

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Light is a key driver of understory plant diversity, also important for seed germination, yet its effect on forests soil seed bank diversity remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of both light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on soil seed bank diversity.

X-ray based tree ring analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this thesis, two x-ray based dendro-analyses (batch-wise microdensitometry and energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF)) and the conditions under which these methods could be used on the two typical boreal conifers Norway spruce (Picea abies (L ...
