Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring dataNARA Subscribed
Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird distributions and assessed how they changed. We used these data on 50 farmland bird specie...
Continental‐wide prioritization of protected areas to address global and habitat‐specific goals for avian biodiversity conservationNARA Subscribed
The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas. Based on a pan‐European database for occurrence and abundance of breeding birds collected in the 2010s, we app...
Farmland biodiversity and agricultural management on 237 farms in 13 European and two African regionsNARA Subscribed
Farmland is a major land cover type in Europe and Africa and provides habitat for numerous species. The severe decline in farmland biodiversity of the last decades has been attributed to changes in farming practices, and organic and low‐input farming are assumed to mitigate detrimental effects of agricultural intensification on biodiversity. Since the farm enterprise is the primary unit of agricultural decision making, managem...
Continent‐scale global change attribution in European birds ‐ combining annual and decadal time scalesNARA Subscribed
Species attributes are commonly used to infer impacts of environmental change on multiyear species trends, e.g. decadal changes in population size. However, by themselves attributes are of limited value in global change attribution since they do not measure the changing environment. A broader foundation for attributing species responses to global change may be achieved by complementing an attributes‐based approach by one estim...
Leaf habit and woodiness regulate different leaf economy traits at a given nutrient supplyNARA Subscribed
The large variation in the relationships between environmental factors and plant traits observed in natural communities exemplifies the alternative solutions that plants have developed in response to the same environmental limitations. Qualitative attributes, such as growth form, woodiness, and leaf habit can be used to approximate these alternative solutions. Here, we quantified the extent to which these attributes affect lea...
