Large‐scale biodiversity databases have great potential for quantifying long‐term trends of species, but they also bring many methodological challenges. Spatial bias species occurrence records is well recognized. Yet, the dynamic nature this spatial – how has changed over time been largely overlooked. We examined within multiple in Germany and tested whether relation to land cover or use (urban protected areas) time. focused our analyses on urban areas as these represent two well‐known...
Abstract Citizen scientists play an increasingly important role in biodiversity monitoring. Most of the data, however, are unstructured—collected by diverse methods that not documented with data. Insufficient understanding data collection processes presents a major barrier to use citizen science research. We developed questionnaire ask about their decision-making before, during and after collecting reporting species observations, using Germany as case study. quantified greatest sources...
Abstract Background Ticks are the primary vectors of numerous zoonotic pathogens, transmitting more pathogens than any other blood-feeding arthropod. In northern hemisphere, tick-borne disease cases in humans, such as Lyme borreliosis and encephalitis, have risen recent years, a significant burden on public healthcare systems. The spread these diseases is further reinforced by climate change, which leads to expanding tick habitats. Switzerland among countries major health concern, with...
The East African mountain ecosystems are facing increasing threats due to global change, putting their unique socio-ecological systems at risk. To monitor and understand these changes, researchers stakeholders require accessible analysis-ready remote sensing data. Although satellite data is available for many applications, it often lacks accurate geometric orientation has extensive cloud cover. This can generate misleading results make unreliable time-series analysis. Therefore, needs...
Abstract Tropical montane forest ecosystems are pivotal for sustaining biodiversity and essential terrestrial ecosystem services, including the provision of high-quality fresh water. Nonetheless, impact deforestation climate change on capacity forests to deliver services is yet be fully understood. In this study, we offer observational evidence demonstrating response air temperature cloud base height in African over last two decades. Our findings reveal that approximately 18% (7.4 ± 0.5...
Tropical montane cloud forest ecosystems contain some of the world's biodiversity hotspots and provide essential ecosystem services, including high quality freshwater microclimate buffering against climate extremes. The service provides microrefugia that allow species to persist under change, while ability forests intercept water from atmosphere maintains availability. However, with increasing pressure anthropogenic land use stability such services remains unresolved. In this study, we...
The recent “Global report on Food Crises” published by Security Information Network (FSIN, 2017) calls for intervention in methods and technologies to improve the quality timeliness of food security tackle present crises. India has a huge challenge feed 1.32 billion it is daunting task. Droughts other meteorological phenomena including, climate change, increase pollution levels spread plant diseases pests are some most common problems that continue have an impact production. In order manage...
