Abstract Global forest loss and fragmentation have strongly increased the frequency of patches smaller than a few hectares. Little is known about biodiversity ecosystem service supply potential such small woodlands in comparison to larger forests. As it widely recognized that high levels increase functionality delivery multiple services, small, isolated are expected lower for large forests hosting more species. We collected data on diversity six taxonomic groups covering invertebrates,...
Abstract Fallen fruits provide important feeding and breeding substrates for insects such as Drosophilidae can be a potential trophic reservoir when usual host become scarce. Recently, two invasive fruit fly species, Drosophila suzukii Chymomyza amoena , have established in Europe are expected to alter existing communities. In this study, carried out between September 2021 April 2022 northern France, we aimed disentangle the relative roles of microclimatic, landscape local factors driving...
Abstract Aim To propose a species distribution modelling framework and its companion “ iSDM ” R package for predicting the potential realized distributions of invasive within invaded range. Location Northern France. Methods The non‐equilibrium with environment range affects environmental representativeness presence–absence data collected from field introduces uncertainty in observed absences as these may either reflect unsuitable sites or be incidental. address issues, we here an systematic...
The castor bean tick (Ixodes ricinus) transmits infectious diseases such as Lyme borreliosis, which constitutes an important ecosystem disservice. Despite many local studies, a comprehensive understanding of the key drivers abundance at continental scale is still lacking. We analyze large set environmental factors potential I. ricinus abundance. Our multi-scale study was carried out in deciduous forest fragments dispersed within two contrasting rural landscapes eight regions, along...
Abstract Aim In response to environmental changes and avoid extinction, species may either track suitable conditions or adapt the modified environment. However, whether how remains unclear. By focusing on realized niche (i.e. actual space that a inhabits resources it can access as result of limiting biotic factors present in its habitat), we here examine shifts realized‐niche width ecological amplitude) position optimum) 26 common widespread forest understorey plants across their...
Abstract Questions (i) Do species richness and turnover across forest edges change with edge age management intensity of adjacent lands? (ii) Does composition respond to aging landscape what are the environmental factors explaining this response? Location Agricultural landscapes P icardy region, N F rance. Methods We sampled differing in (from a few decades several centuries) embedding matrix slightly managed ‘bocages’ intensively cultivated open fields). recorded vascular plant set...
The tick Ixodes ricinus has considerable impact on the health of humans and other terrestrial animals because it transmits several tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) such as B. burgdorferi (sensu lato), which causes Lyme borreliosis (LB). Small forest patches agricultural landscapes provide many ecosystem services also disservice LB risk. Biotic interactions environmental filtering shape host communities distinctively between specific regions Europe, makes evaluating dilution effect hypothesis its...
Abstract Question Ecological indicator values (EIVs) reflect species‘ optimal conditions on an environmental gradient, such as temperature. Averaged over a community, they are used to quantify thermophilization stemming from climate change, i.e. the reshuffling of communities toward more warm‐adapted species. In forests, understorey plant do not keep up with global warming and accumulate climatic debt. Although causes still debated, this thermal lag may be partly explained by forest...
1. Although habitat fragmentation is recognized as a major threat to biodiversity, few studies have examined the relative importance of local, landscape and historical factors in controlling local species assemblages, how these interact, patchy ecosystems. We quantified direct indirect effects patch size, heterogeneity, agricultural intensity age on plant richness composition forest patches embedded landscapes. 2. In six 5 × km-sampling windows, we surveyed each for vascular collected three...
Abstract Aim Macroclimate is a major determinant of large‐scale diversity patterns. However, the influence smaller‐scale factors on local across large spatial extents not well documented. Here, we quantify relative importance (patch‐scale), landscape‐scale and macroclimatic drivers herbaceous species in small forest patches agricultural landscapes Europe. Location Deciduous eight regions along gradient from southern F rance to central S weden E stonia. Methods The specialists generalists at...
Abstract Questions How does plant community diversity influence variation in biomass? There are two competing hypotheses: the ‘biomass ratio’ hypothesis, where biomass is influenced by abundance and traits of most dominant species, ‘diversity’ organisms influences through mechanisms such as niche complementarity. However, no studies have tested which one these hypotheses better explains forest understorey. Location Temperate deciduous forests northern France. Methods For understorey, we...
Abstract Questions Are hedgerows efficient corridors for forest‐dwelling species within agricultural landscapes? Do time and space interact synergistically to enhance forest plant accumulation in (i.e. the species–time–area relationship)? Does distribution profile of herbs along differ between specialist generalist species? Location Agricultural landscapes northern France. Methods We assembled a chronosequence 99 dated (1725–2008) hedgerows, which were surveyed number local‐proximal...
Abstract To understand time‐lag dynamics in the response of biodiversity to contemporary environmental changes (e.g. macroclimate warming and atmospheric pollution), we need consider former anthropogenic forcing factors such as past land uses management practices that can have both compounding confounding effects. This is especially true European temperate forests, where legacies from human activities left strong imprints on today’s understorey plant species composition, generating long‐term...
Summary The maintenance, restoration or construction of corridors are among the most important conservation strategies world‐wide in face global changes such as habitat fragmentation and climate change, although their effectiveness still remains an open question. Metacommunity ecology provides a useful framework to answer this question but so far relatively few studies have concerned plant species. Here, we evaluate connectivity effect small streams originating large forest for communities...
Abstract Aim Forests are highly fragmented across Western Europe, making forest edges important features in many agricultural landscapes. Forest subject to strong abiotic gradients altering the environment and resulting biotic gradients. This has potential change forest's capacity provide multiple ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration natural pest control. Soil organisms play a key role this perspective; however, these taxa rarely considered edge research....
Abstract Aim The spatio‐temporal connectivity of forest patches in lowland agricultural landscapes and their age matter to explain current biodiversity patterns across regional as well biogeographical extents, the point that effect exceeds one macroclimate for plant diversity understorey temperate forests. Whether this remains true other taxonomic groups is still largely unknown. Yet, relative influence has important consequences ecosystem functioning delivery services. Focusing on carabid...
Abstract The invasive pest Drosophila suzukii is a fruit fly native to Asia that infests wide variety of fruits. Wild plant species are major reservoirs for D . populations but their infestation rates vary greatly among geographical areas. We aimed at disentangling the relative roles macroclimatic, landscape and local factors in rate elderberry fruits ( Sambucus nigra ), wild host Europe. collected across 215 sites distributed 13 regions from North South France. counted number emerging...
Abstract To ensure sustainable forest management, the assessment and monitoring of soil compaction rutting are essential. Here, we used airborne light detection ranging‐derived digital terrain model (LiDAR‐derived DTM), available for Compiègne in northern France, to compute a spatial index rutting. Following an environmental systematic sampling design, selected 45 plots representative stand conditions where subsequently extracted information from DTM cumulative length ruts (CLR). assess...
Abstract Soil profiles keep records of the legacies historical land uses on soil physicochemical properties with deep‐soil (3‐m depth) providing information centuries‐old dynamics. By combining geohistorical archives past and management practices together pH data from 19 plots scattered across five study areas in North France, we analyzed effect two contrasting land‐use change trajectories (afforestation former arable vs. cultivation after deforestation) acidification alkalinization dynamics...
