Experimental warming and precipitation reduction affect the biomass of microbial communities in a Sphagnum peatland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-15)Due to their unique flora, hydrology and environmental characteristics, peatlands are precious and specific habitats for microorganisms and microscopic animals. Their microbial network structure and their biomass are crucial ... -
Introducing the index-based ecological condition assessment framework (IBECA)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Sustainable nature management and ecosystem conservation depends critically on scientifically sound and stakeholder-relevant analytical frameworks for monitoring and assessing ecological condition. Several general frameworks ... -
Method comparison of indirect assessments of understory leaf area index (LAIu): A case study across the extended network of ICOS forest ecosystem sites in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-31)Leaf area index (LAI) is a key ecological indicator for describing the structure of canopies and for modelling energy exchange between atmosphere and biosphere. While LAI of the forest overstory can be accurately assessed ... -
Monitoring deer food and browsing in forests: Coherence and discrepancies between national and local inventories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01)Field-based monitoring of deer food availability and browsing on recruiting forest trees is a necessary but labour-intensive task. We explored how such estimates from a low-resolution multipurpose national forest inventory ... -
Setting reference levels and limits for good ecological condition in terrestrial ecosystems – Insights from a case study based on the IBECA approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05-16)Effective evidence-based nature conservation and habitat management relies on developing and refining our methodological toolbox for detecting critical ecological changes at an early stage. This requires not only optimizing ...
