Where are we now with European forest multi-taxon biodiversity and where can we...
Burrascano, Sabina; Chianucci, Francesco; Trentanovi, Giovanni; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Sitzia, Tommaso; Tinya, Flóra; Doerfler, Inken; Paillet, YoanThe European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management (SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct biodiversity indicators. We focused on forest multi-taxon biodiversity to: i) gather and map the existing information; ii) identify knowledge and research gaps; iii) discuss its research potential. We established a rese...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-09-02; The amount of carbon stored in deadwood is equivalent to about 8 per cent of the global forest carbon stocks1. The decomposition of deadwood is largely governed by climate2–5 with decomposer groups—such as microorganisms and insects—contributing to variations in the decomposition rates2,6,7. At the glob...
Nature-based solutions : new influence for environmental management and researc...
Eggermont, Hilde; Balian, Estelle; Azevedo, José M. N.; Beumer, Victor; Brodin, Tomas; Claudet, Joachim; Fady, Bruno; Grube, Martin; Keune, HansGreening roofs or walls to cool down city areas during summer, to capture storm water, to abate pollution, and to increase human well-being while enhancing biodiversity: nature-based solutions (NBS) refer to the sustainable management and use of nature for tackling societal challenges. Building on and comple- menting traditional biodiversity conservation and management strategies, NBS integrate science, policy,...
