Using resurvey data to predict changes in ecosystem functioning across protected and unprotected coastal dunesNARA Subscribed
Protected areas are generally designed to conserve biodiversity. However, how much they also contribute to maintaining ecosystem functions that plant diversity supports has rarely been tested explicitly, often because of the lack of historical ecosystem function data. We used a trait‐based approach to reconstruct past ecosystem functioning and examine its change over the last 15 years in protected and unprotected coastal dune...
Sampling strategy matters to accurately estimate response curves' parameters in species distribution modelsNARA Subscribed
Aim Assessing how different sampling strategies affect the accuracy and precision of species response curves estimated by parametric species distribution models. Major Taxa Studied Virtual plant species. Location Abruzzo (Italy). Time Period Timeless (simulated data). Methods We simulated the occurrence of two virtual species with different ecology (generalist vs specialist) and distribution extent. We sampled their occurrence...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
