Abstract Aim The EUNIS Habitat Classification is a widely used reference framework for European habitat types (habitats), but it lacks formal definitions of individual habitats that would enable their unequivocal identification. Our goal was to develop tool assigning vegetation‐plot records the system, use classify database, and compile statistically‐derived characteristic species combinations distribution maps these habitats. Location Europe. Methods We developed classification expert...
Late-spring frosts (LSFs) affect the performance of plants and animals across world’s temperate boreal zones, but despite their ecological economic impact on agriculture forestry, geographic distribution evolutionary these frost events are poorly understood. Here, we analyze LSFs between 1959 2017 resistance strategies Northern Hemisphere woody species to infer trees’ adaptations for minimizing damage leaves forecast forest vulnerability under ongoing changes in frequencies. Trait values...
Abstract Spatially explicit information on forest management at a global scale is critical for understanding the status of forests, planning sustainable and restoration, conservation activities. Here, we produce first reference data set prototype globally consistent map with high spatial detail most prevalent classes such as intact managed forests natural regeneration, planted plantation (rotation up to 15 years), oil palm plantations, agroforestry. We developed dataset 226 K unique...
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...
Research Highlights: It was found that both tree species and ground vegetation affected soil carbon stock in boreal forests. Carbon stocks the mineral layers were related negatively to C/N ratio organic horizon pine proportion growing volume, positively share of herbaceous plants spruce. Background Objectives: Existing research showed effects on horizons, but these less clear horizons. Little is known about stock. This study aims identify associations between forest composition northwestern...
Abstract Aim To determine the relationships between functional trait composition of forest communities and environmental gradients across scales biomes role species relative abundances in these relationships. Location Global. Time period Recent. Major taxa studied Trees. Methods We integrated abundance records from worldwide inventories associated traits (wood density, specific leaf area seed mass) to obtain a data set 99,953 149,285 plots (depending on trait) spanning all forested...
Being the product of same environment, soil and vegetation are mutually associated with each other, but relationships between edaphic properties characteristics still far from clear. Accordingly, specific aim this study is to identify forest site types/forest types fertility organic horizons in northwestern Russia. The were assessed at level three large regions, northern middle taiga Republic Karelia, Karelian Isthmus (Leningrad region), based on 37 spruce, 66 pine, 16 birch plots which...
Linking vegetation, soil biota, and carbon stocks in forests has a high predictive value. The specific aim of this study was to identify the relationships between earthworms, nine types dominating autonomous landscape positions coniferous–broadleaf forest zone European part Russia. Mountain were selected Northwest Caucasus, while plain Bryansk Polesie on Moskva-Oka plain. One-way analysis variance (ANOVA) v-tests used assess impact different factors C stocks. To contribution litter quality,...
Remote monitoring of natural afforestation processes on abandoned agricultural lands is crucial for assessments and predictions forest cover dynamics, biodiversity, ecosystem functions services. In this work, we built the general approach combining satellite field data mapping developed a simple robust method dynamics assessment. This based Landsat imagery index-based thresholding specifically targets suitability limited data. We demonstrated method’s details performance by conducting case...
The "Flora of Russia" project on iNaturalist brought together professional scientists and amateur naturalists from all over the country. Over 10,000 people were involved in data collection. Within 20 months, participants accumulated 750,143 photo observations 6,857 species Russian flora. This constitutes largest dataset open spatial country’s biodiversity a leading source current state national About 87% data, i.e. 652,285 observations, are available under free licences (CC0, CC-BY,...
Abstract Questions Forest classifications are tools used in research, monitoring, and management. In Finland, the Cajanderian forest site type classification is based on composition of understorey vegetation with assumption that it reflects a predictable way site's productive value. Russia, Sukachevian similarly but also accounts for tree species, soil wetness, paludification. Here we ask whether Cajander's Sukachev's types effectively same terms species composition, productivity,...
Various types of vegetation were tested on the dumps Kursk magnetic anomaly (KMA), composed various rocks and their mixtures, with improvement forest growing conditions by land use without this technique, including five shrubby species: sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.), siberian peashrub (Caragana arborescens Lam.), golden currant (Ribes aureum Pursh.), tatarian honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica L.) red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa L.). Growth indicators, safety productivity breeds...
One of the key forest characteristics is biodiversity, particularly diversity trees which are ecosystem engineers. Nowadays most worldwide common approach for assessment conditions and dynamics based on systematic monitoring, performed at a set regularly structured plots. To fulfill existing gap in this sort knowledge Russian forests, an extensive study tree species regular network was conducted north-west Russia. The used ICP Forests monitoring that spans over 1700 km along western border...
