Contributions of Quaternary botany to modern ecology and biogeography
HJB Birks - Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Light availability and land‐use history drive biodiversity and functional changes in forest herb layer communities
A central challenge of today's ecological research is predicting how ecosystems will develop
under future global change. Accurate predictions are complicated by (a) simultaneous …

Robotic monitoring of forests: a dataset from the EU habitat 9210* in the Tuscan Apennines (central Italy)
Effective monitoring of habitats is crucial for their preservation. As the impact of anthropic
activities on natural habitats increases, accurate and up-to-date information on the state of …
