Humans have been shaping European landscapes for thousands of years and therefore also the distribution and appearance of forests and the diverse plant and an-imal species assemblages associated with them (Ellis et al. 2021).
1 paź 2022 · Forests are recognized for reducing food insecurity, addressing poverty alleviation, and enhancing agricultural and environmental sustainability sustenance of rural people across the world.
1 lut 2022 · Here we highlight ten recent studies examining patterns and drivers of, as well as threats to, herbaceous plant diversity in forests. We first examine local, regional, and global patterns of ...
Status and trends of forests in protected areas. Globally, 18 percent of the world’s forest area, or more than 700 million hectares, is reported to fall within legally established protected areas such as national parks, conservation areas and game reserves (protected-area categories I–IV).
12 lis 2021 · Here, we highlight recent studies on herbaceous forest plants, focusing on patterns of diversity at various scales, the underlying processes driving those patterns, and anthropogenic pressures threatening forest herb diversity.
We first examine local, regional, and global patterns of herbaceous diversity in forests and how such patterns differ for woody versus herbaceous species. We then focus on ecological mechanisms that contribute to forest herb diversity, including the role of abiotic and biotic interactions.
1 lut 2016 · Few forest-adapted plant species survive complete deforestation, and even if a substantial fraction of the original forest cover remains, fragmentation drives changes that tend to reduce plant diversity (Kettle and Koh, 2014).
