Cross-country patterns of compositional and structural forest diversity across European regionsNARA Subscribed
Forest diversity is a multidimensional concept comprising different components such as species diversity, functional diversity, structural diversity and genetic diversity. These diverse elements are recognised as being connected to the health and functioning of forest ecosystems and human well-being. However, information on forest diversity at broad spatial scales is scarce. Thus, the primary goal of this study is to quantify...
New Research Perspectives in Light of Dense Cross-Border Experiments in West Bohemia and Vogtland RegionsNARA Subscribed
The Eger Large-N International Seismic Experiment (ELISE) is a major cross-border project deploying a temporary network of over 300 broadband and short-period seismic stations in the West Bohemia/Vogtland region, located at the border of Czechia and Germany. This experiment offers new research opportunities in one of the most seismically and geodynamically active intraplate regions in Europe, characterized by recurrent earthqu...
Pressure-assisted isolation of micro- and nanoplastics from food of animal origin with special emphasis on seafoodNARA Subscribed
Recent studies have indicated the presence of micro- and nanoplastics in food of animal origin. To address the concerns regarding human dietary plastic uptake, extensive monitoring using validated analytical methods is required. However, a major challenge in analysis lies in the high complexity of preparing food samples rich in macromolecular content (e.g., proteins, complex lipids), such as seafood. Consequently, this study a...
Global Marine Flyways Identified for Long‐Distance Migrating Seabirds From Tracking DataNARA Subscribed
Aim To identify the broad‐scale oceanic migration routes (‘marine flyways’) used by multiple pelagic, long‐distance migratory seabirds based on a global compilation of tracking data. Location Global. Time Period 1989–2023. Major Taxa Studied Seabirds (Families: Phaethontidae, Hydrobatidae, Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, Laridae and Stercorariidae). Methods We collated a comprehensive global tracking dataset that included the mig...
Quo vadis Scots pine forestry in northern Germany: How do silvicultural management and climate change determine an uncertain future?NARA Subscribed
Scots pine is of greatest importance in northern Germany regarding its cultivation area and expected capability to perform in climate change. However, pine predominantly occurs in monocultures. Therefore, future pine forestry depends on an adaptation to climate change while improving ecological and economic forest functions. Yet future development of pine remains uncertain due to leeway in silvicultural guidelines and future c...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
Wind dispersed tree species have greater maximum heightNARA Subscribed
Aim We test the hypothesis that wind dispersal is more common among emergent tree species given that being tall increases the likelihood of effective seed dispersal. Location Americas, Africa and the Asia‐Pacific. Time period 1970–2020. Major taxa studied Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Methods We used a dataset consisting of tree inventories from 2821 plots across three biogeographic regions (Americas, Africa and Asia‐Pacific),...
