The influence of uncertainties in gridded observational reference data on regional climate model (RCM) evaluation is quantified a pan‐European scale. Three different sets are considered: the coarse‐resolved E‐OBS set, compilation high‐resolution products (HR) and European‐scale MESAN reanalysis. Five ERA‐Interim‐driven RCM experiments EURO‐CORDEX initiative evaluated against each these references over eight European sub‐regions considering range performance metrics for mean daily temperature...
1. The plant community structure of European lowland forests has changed dramatically in the 20th century, leading to biodiversity decline at various spatial scales. However, due methodological difficulties associated with simultaneous changes species diversity and composition, ecological processes behind are still poorly understood. 2. We analysed temporal forest after mid-20th century abandonment coppicing a typical Central forest, which had been managed as coppice for centuries. used 122...
Abstract: The important role of humans in the development current ecosystems was recognized decades ago; however, integration history and ecology order to inform conservation has been difficult. We identified four issues that hinder historical ecological research considered possible solutions. First, differences concepts methods between fields are thought be large. However, most stem from miscommunication ecologists historians less substantial than is usually assumed. Cooperation can...
This paper presents the results of a consensus-driven process identifying 50 priority research questions for historical ecology obtained through crowdsourcing, literature reviews, and in-person workshopping. A deliberative approach was designed to maximize discussion debate with defined outcomes. Two workshops (in Sweden Canada) over course two years online discussions were peer facilitated define specific key from anthropological archaeological perspectives. The aim this is showcase variety...
SUMMARY In recent decades, the interconnectedness of history and ecology has received increasing attention. Although necessarily interdisciplinary, efforts to study this had their roots either in humanities social sciences or natural sciences: scholars have tried understand more about nature with help history, or, human phenomena. As a result, theoretical studies integration try answer two relatively distinct questions: ‘why matters history’ ecology’. This paper sets out systematize current...
Background Coppicing was one of the most important forest management systems in Europe documented prehistory as well Middle Ages. However, coppicing gradually abandoned by mid-20th century, which has altered ecosystem structure, diversity and function coppice woods. Methodology/Principal Findings Our aim to disentangle factors shaping historical growth dynamics oak standards (i.e. mature trees growing through several cycles) a former coppice-with-standards Central Europe. Specifically, we...
Abstract Forests cover approximately one‐third of Central Europe. Oak ( Quercus ) and European beech Fagus sylvatica are considered the natural dominants at low middle elevations, respectively. Many coniferous forests (especially Picea abies occur primarily midelevations, but these thought to have resulted from forestry plantations planted over past 200 years. Nature conservation policy seek promote broadleaved trees conifers. However, there discrepancies between guidelines (included in...
The issue of continuity in deciduous oakwood vegetation has been the forefront woodland ecological studies for many decades. two basic questions that emerge from existing research are whether or not oakwoods can be characterized by long-term stability and what may driving forces observed change. To answer these a well-defined case study, we examined history large subcontinental (Dúbrava) southeastern Czech Republic with interdisciplinary methods using palaeoecological archival sources....
Abstract. Four regional climate models (RCMs) were adapted in Hungary for the dynamical downscaling of global projections over Carpathian Basin: (i) ALADIN-Climate model developed by Météo France on basis ALADIN short-range modelling system; (ii) PRECIS available from UK Met Office Hadley Centre; (iii) RegCM originally at US National Center Atmospheric Research, is maintained International Centre Theoretical Physics Trieste; and (iv) REMO Max Planck Institute Meteorology Hamburg. The RCMs...

The interest in re-implementing agroforestry (AF) European agriculture due to its environmental benefits has been growing exponentially. We reviewed the historical background and current state (extent, farmers’ perception, legislative support, barriers) evaluate future perspectives of AF Czechia by identifying key factors hampering further extension. Our results confirmed that almost disappeared after middle 19th century agricultural intensification collectivization. Currently, is not...
Abstract Humans have managed European landscapes, including woodlands, for millennia. Prior to the birth of modern forestry in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there existed two basic management forms lowland broadleaved woods: coppicing wood pasture. While existence characteristics these types are well-known, reasons why particular woods were coppiced while others pastured little investigated. As a case-study, we chose large ancient southern Moravian region Central Europe. One was as...
Grasslands above the timberline in European high mountains, such as Alps, have been used summer pasture for millennia, creating diverse ecosystems of conservation value. However, historical ecology natural grasslands middle mountains is much less known. We combined archival and palaeoecological sources to understand management history subalpine Hrubý Jeseník Mountains (Czechia) evaluated results view current nature efforts. The analysis showed that people managed these at least seven...
