Following decades of atmospheric acidification, the Bohemian Forest watercourses are now witnessing a remarkable resurgence of natural fish communities. This study presents the most comprehensive ichthyological survey of the region to date, covering 168 watercourse sites across the Czech and Bavarian parts of the Bohemian Forest. Using standardized electrofishing methods, we assessed species composition, density, and the prese...

Purpose of Review Agroforestry and urban forestry have evolved mainly as separate disciplines, although they share a long history of tree cultivation in man-made environments. Here, we review their common threads, exploring how trees in both systems interact with and shape their environments. We examine common themes and methodologies – ranging from tree growth dynamics to environmental stressors, ecosystem services provision,...

Summary The natural habitats and potential reservoirs of the nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii are poorly defined. Here, we put forth and tested the hypothesis of avian reservoirs of A . baumannii . We screened tracheal and rectal swab samples from livestock (chicken, geese) and wild birds (white stork nestlings) and isolated A . baumannii from 3% of sampled chicken ( n = 220), 8% of geese ( n = 40) and 25% of white...
