Habitat-specific trends in taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity in European plant communities over a century
Abstract Despite widespread concern over global biodiversity loss, the balance between gains and losses within local plant communities remains contentious, largely due to a scarcity of integrative, long-term and large-scale analyses across different habitats and multiple facets of biodiversity.
Protected Areas Have Not Halted Macrophyte Biodiversity Loss and Eutrophication in Northwest German Standing Waters
1 Introduction Freshwaters are among the world's most rapidly changing ecosystems, with eutrophication, land-use intensification and climate warming reshaping species assemblages and ecosystem functioning over the past century (Carpenter et al. 1998; Sand-Jensen et al. 2000; Smith 2003). Long-term biodiversity assessments show inconsistent trends in overall species richness, due to grain size (Jandt et al. 2022), but consistently high turnover, increasing numbers of exotics (Finderup Nielsen et al.
Classification of the high‐rank syntaxa of the Central and Eastern Balkan dry grasslands with a new hierarchical expert system approach
1 INTRODUCTION The Balkan Peninsula is a biodiversity hotspot of Europe, both in terms of species richness and number of endemics (Stevanović et al., 2007). The Balkan dry grasslands harbour high plot-scale species richness (‘α-diversity’; e.g. Pedashenko et al., 2013; Palpurina et al., 2015, Dembicz et al., 2021).
How gradients of climate and soil determine Mediterranean annual‐rich dryland vegetation
1 INTRODUCTION In terms of species numbers, annual plants are the dominant life form in Mediterranean open lands, often representing more than half of its flora (e.g. Panitsa & Tzanoudakis, 1998; Pignatti, 2003). In the Aegean phrygana, a species-rich semi-natural mosaic vegetation in pasture lands formed by dwarf shrubs and annual-rich vegetation, therophytes outnumber all other life forms.
Utricularia ochroleuca and U. minor new‐found in nutrient‐poor waters of northern Greece
Conservation issues On its Greek side, the region around Mount Voras (Kaimaktsalan) has been designated both as special protection area (SPA) and as special area of conservation (SAC) adopted by the European Union (EU) for the conservation network Natura 2000.
