Abstract The European Vegetation Archive ( EVA ) is a centralized database of vegetation plots developed by the IAVS Working Group Survey. It has been in development since 2012 and first made available for use research projects 2014. stores copies national regional vegetation‐ plot databases on single software platform. Data storage does not affect on‐going independent contributing databases, which remain property data contributors. uses prototype management TURBOVEG 3 joint multiple that...
Abstract Aims Ellenberg‐type indicator values are expert‐based rankings of plant species according to their ecological optima on main environmental gradients. Here we extend the indicator‐value system proposed by Heinz Ellenberg and co‐authors for Central Europe incorporating other systems (i.e., those using scales compatible with values) developed European regions. Our aim is create a harmonized data set applicable at scale. Methods We collected sets vascular plants selected 13 that used...
Abstract Trait‐based ecology has already revealed main independent axes of trait variation defining spaces that summarize plant adaptive strategies, but often ignoring intraspecific variability (ITV). By using empirical ITV‐level data for two dimensions leaf form and function 167 species across five habitat types (coastal dunes, forests, grasslands, heathlands, wetlands) in the Italian peninsula, we found ITV: (i) rotated define space; (ii) increased variance explained by these (iii)...
Abstract Aim The first comprehensive checklist of European phytosociological alliances, orders and classes (EuroVegChecklist) was published by Mucina et al. (2016, Applied Vegetation Science , 19 (Suppl. 1), 3–264). However, this did not contain detailed information on the distribution individual vegetation types. Here we provide maps all alliances in Europe. Location Europe, Greenland, Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores, Cyprus Caucasus countries. Methods We collected data occurrence countries...
Abstract Motivation Indicator values are numerical used to characterize the ecological niches of species and estimate their occurrence along gradients. on climatic edaphic plant have received considerable attention in research, whereas data optimal positioning disturbance gradients less developed. Here, we present a new set indicator identifying optima natural anthropogenic for 6382 vascular based analysis 736,366 European vegetation plots using expert‐based characterization regimes 236...
Abstract Aims We introduce ReSurveyEurope — a new data source of resurveyed vegetation plots in Europe, compiled by collaborative network scientists. describe the scope this initiative, provide an overview currently available data, governance, contribution rules, and accessibility. In addition, we outline further steps, including potential research questions. Results includes from all habitats. Version 1.0 contains 283,135 observations (i.e., individual surveys each plot) 79,190 sampled 449...
Urban afforestation is increasingly regarded as a key strategy for fostering biodiversity to restore and enhance the ecosystem services needed counteract effects of climate change in built-up areas. In Italy, several experimental projects have been launched part National Recovery Resilience Plan (NRRP), focusing on cities or metropolitan areas such Milan, Rome, Pistoia Campobasso. These follow multidisciplinary approach, integrating botanists, foresters, urban planners, landscape architects...
Abstract The first comprehensive phytosociological classification of all vegetation types in Europe (EuroVegChecklist; Applied Vegetation Science , 2016, 19 3–264) contained brief descriptions each type. However, these were not standardized and mentioned only the most distinct features practical application system could be enhanced if users had option to select sets based on various combinations structural, ecological, biogeographical attributes. Based a literature review expert knowledge,...
Abstract The vegetation of Buna River Protected Landscape is described. area comprises both the alluvial plain lower course river that marks boundary between Montenegro and Albania, a carbonatic range. characterized by high β-diversity (27 alliances 46 associations), especially in wetlands dry grasslands. In it possible to distinguish 1 dunal 4 hygro-sequences 3 xeroseries Associations Clematido viticellae-Punicetum granati Periploco graecae-Alnetum glutinosae are described as new.
Abstract Aim The number of naturalized (i.e. established) alien species has increased rapidly over recent centuries. Given the differences in environmental tolerances among species, little is known about what factors determine extent to which observed size range a and hence richness region approach their full potential. Here, we asked region‐ species‐specific characteristics explain between expected naturalizations. Location Global. Time period Present. Major taxa studied Vascular plants....
Anthropogenic threats impacting ecological targets should be mitigated and solved using fast schematic tools useful in conservation strategies. Herein, we suggest a mixed quick approach implementing coarse-grained (and expert-based) threat analysis with the fine-grained analytical) DPSIR (driving forces, pressure, status, impact, response) framework of indicators, all included single causal chain. Both approaches are largely used but never combined. A simulated example application set...
