Abstract Two prominent limitations of species distribution models ( SDM s) are spatial biases in existing occurrence data and a lack spatially explicit predictor variables to fully capture habitat characteristics species. Can emerging remote sensing technologies meet these challenges improve future s? We believe so. Novel products derived from multispectral hyperspectral sensors, as well Light Detection Ranging (LiDAR) RADAR missions, may play key role improving model performance. In this...
Summary Macroecology has prospered in recent years due part to the wide array of climatic data, such as those provided by WorldClim and CliMond data sets, which become available for research. However, important environmental variables have still been missing, including spatial sets on UV ‐B radiation, an increasingly recognized driver ecological processes. We developed a set global surfaces (gl ) suitable match common scales macroecology. Our is based remotely sensed records from NASA 's...
Abstract Functional traits offer promising avenues to investigate how community composition and diversity define ecosystem functioning service delivery. In recent years, many empirical studies on the importance of functional for provisioning have been undertaken, but a general understanding synthesis results is lacking ecosystems. Here we focus temperate grasslands present systematic literature review synthesizing plant are interrelated with services. Based 108 studies, identified core set...
Abstract Ecosystem structure, especially vertical vegetation is one of the six essential biodiversity variable classes and an important aspect habitat heterogeneity, affecting species distributions diversity by providing shelter, foraging, nesting sites. Point clouds from airborne laser scanning (ALS) can be used to derive such detailed information on structure. However, public agencies usually only provide digital elevation models, which do not Calculating structure variables ALS point...
Abstract The urgency for remote, reliable, and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on climate ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), but there been no comprehensive overview of its coverage across realms. We present metadata from 358 datasets recorded since 1991 above land water constituting the first global synthesis sampling spatial, temporal, ecological scales. compiled summary statistics (sampling locations, deployment...
Species distribution models (SDMs) have proven valuable in filling gaps our knowledge of species occurrences. However, despite their broad applicability, SDMs exhibit critical shortcomings due to limitations occurrence data. These include, particular, issues related sample size, positional uncertainty, and sampling bias. In addition, it is widely recognised that the quality as well approaches used mitigate impact aforementioned data depend on ecology. While numerous studies evaluated effects...
Background The flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is one of the world's least known, highly threatened felids with a distribution restricted to tropical lowland rainforests in Peninsular Thailand/Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra. Throughout its geographic range large-scale anthropogenic transformation processes, including pollution fresh-water river systems landscape fragmentation, raise concerns regarding conservation status. Despite an increasing number camera-trapping field surveys for...
Biodiversity conservation and agricultural production are often seen as mutually exclusive objectives. Strategies for reconciling them intensely debated. We argue that harmonization between biodiversity crop can be improved by increasing our understanding of the underlying relationships them. provide a general conceptual framework links through separate land use production. Hypothesized derived synthesizing existing empirical theoretical ecological knowledge. The suggests nonlinear caused...
Abstract Multifunctionality refers to the capacity of an area supply multiple ecosystem functions or services. While many conceptual and methodological advances have focused on defining quantifying multifunctionality, challenge dealing with cross-scale dynamics multifunctionality remains open. This study proposes a new way measuring across spatial scales, illustrated European-wide dataset 18 Our assessment captures not only diversity services supplied within each municipality (...
Abstract Aim To provide a mechanistic and probabilistic framework for defining the species pool based on species‐specific probabilities of dispersal, environmental suitability biotic interactions within specific temporal extent, to show how pools can help disentangle geographical structure different community assembly processes. Innovation Probabilistic an improved definition in conjunction with associated list, which explicitly recognize indeterminate nature membership given focal unit...
Abstract Spatiotemporal ecological modelling of terrestrial ecosystems relies on climatological and biophysical Earth observations. Due to their increasing availability, global coverage, frequent acquisition high spatial resolution, satellite remote sensing ( SRS ) products are frequently integrated in situ data the development ecosystem models EM s) quantifying interaction among vegetation component hydrological, energy nutrient cycles. This review highlights main advances achieved last...
Empirical research on land sharing and sparing has been criticized because preferences of local stakeholders, socio-economic aspects, a bundle ecosystem services the context were only rarely integrated. Using storylines scenarios is common approach to include use drivers contexts or cope with uncertainties future developments. The objective presented develop comparable participatory regional for year 2030 reflecting sharing, more intermediate developments across five different European...
Social-ecological interactions have been shown to generate interrelated and reoccurring sets of ecosystem services, also known as service bundles. Given the potential utility bundles concept, along with recent surge in interest it is timely reflect on its current use for future. Based our bundle experience, expertise, analyses, we found critical elements advancing concept deepening impact In this paper 1) examine different conceptualizations concept; 2) show range benefits using a approach;...
