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...
Abstract Regional variations of weather pattern were analyzed along a west-to-east profile across the Southern Andes (53°S), one most pronounced climate-divides in world. For first time we present meteorological record from an array three automatic stations (AWS), operated by authors, for central part climate divide which, together with previously existing Chilean stations, complete transect. These data cover period 3 yr. October 1999 until September 2002. Air temperatures are highly...
Perspectives in conservation are based on a variety of value systems. Such differences how people nature and its components lead to different evaluations the morality goals approaches, often underlie disagreements formulation implementation environmental management policies. Specifically, whether action (e.g. killing feral cats reduce predation bird species threatened with extinction) is viewed as appropriate or not can vary among Here, we present conceptual, mathematical framework intended...
<title>Abstract</title> Long-term data on species dynamics are scarce, limiting our understanding of biodiversity changes. We analysed over 17,500 museum records 342 wild bee collected between 1910 and 2021 at eight sites. Linking temporal distributions to land-use climatic data, we show that continuous turnover has reduced diversity time. Early 20th-century landscape alterations primarily drove local extinctions habitat-specialist species, initiating declines before global warming began....
We studied changes in vascular plant species occurring Central European (Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Hungary, Northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia) arable fields their edges from 1930 to 2019. To correct for bias the data, we used occupancy modeling analyze occupancy, i.e., distribution ranges sizes, of 359 most common AgriWeedClim database. ecological indicator values, native versus alien (archaeophyte, neophyte) status, affinity habitats assess...
Conservation decisions often need to integrate scientific predictions with societal values, ethical systems, and diverse perceptions that combine form moral stances about conservation actions (e.g., trophy hunting or controlling invasive species). These can result in dilemmas and, if stakeholders hold different views on the morality of particular actions, conflicts arise. Here we adapt well-known trolley problem thought experiment a context offer simplified, yet comprehensive framework...
Abstract Biological invasions have substantial and rising social‐ecological impacts threatening human livelihoods communities hampering progress towards a just equitable world. Currently, biological are not adequately recognised included in the UN Agenda 2030. Using literature review conducted Web of Science, we highlight bias available related to 2030 its Sustainable Development Goals. We find abundant scientific environmental biodiversity sustainability targets while other especially...
Abstract Aims Arable habitats (i.e. fields, orchards, vineyards, and their fallows) were created by humans have been essential elements in Central European landscapes for several millennia. In recent decades, these drastically altered changes land use as well agricultural practices and, more recently, climate change. These precipitated substantial vegetation spatial temporal trajectories not yet exhaustively studied. Here, we present the AgriWeedClim database — a new resource of plot...
Recent studies have shown that temperate forests are susceptible to the invasion of alien species. However, it is less known how species attributes such as functional traits, success on large scales (e.g. globally or in Europe), residence time and pathways introduction interact shaping distribution forests. Here, we analyse introduced long ago (i.e. archaeophytes, before 1492) more recently aliens neophytes, i.e. after 43 study sites (5 ha size) forest remnants a cultural landscape eastern...
The composition of weed floras in Central European fields has shifted creating a novel management issue: new weeds, that is, species are currently spreading and increasing impact. In their role as primary decision makers on the ground, farmers' perception these weeds plays pivotal collecting information occurrence control. We conducted an online survey to determine if Austrian farmers recognized 15 selected taxa (12 3 genera) from farm. 181 surveyed also estimated required effort for...
Recent advances in charge-coupled device (CCD) coatings and manufacturing have resulting CCDs sensitive to short UV wavelengths. These UV-enhanced can be used image the without negative attributes of intensified systems. This paper compares characteristics two systems: (1) a non-intensified CCD sensor system, (2) an system using photocathode/micro-channel plate (MCP)/fiber optic bundle with high quantum efficiency CCD. Both systems advantages disadvantages terms noise performance; better...
