Responses of forest ecosystems in Europe to decreasing nitrogen deposition

A Schmitz, TGM Sanders, A Bolte, F Bussotti… - Environmental …, 2019 - Elsevier
Average nitrogen (N) deposition across Europe has declined since the 1990s. This resulted

Directional turnover towards larger‐ranged plants over time and across habitats

IR Staude, HM Pereira, GN Daskalova… - Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Species turnover is ubiquitous. However, it remains unknown whether certain types of

Replacements of small-by large-ranged species scale up to diversity loss in Europe's temperate forest biome

IR Staude, DM Waller… - Nature Ecology & …, 2020 - nature.com
Biodiversity time series reveal global losses and accelerated redistributions of species, but
no net loss in local species richness. To better understand how these patterns are linked, we …

[HTML][HTML] Białowieża forest—A relic of the high naturalness of European forests

B Jaroszewicz, O Cholewińska, JM Gutowski… - Forests, 2019 - mdpi.com
