Looking back on biodiversity change: lessons for the road ahead
Estimating biodiversity change across the planet in the context of widespread human
modification is a critical challenge. Here, we review how biodiversity has changed in recent …

Temporal beta diversity of lake plants is determined by concomitant changes in environmental factors across decades
To comprehensively understand the impact of anthropogenic activities on biodiversity, we
must understand how biodiversity has changed over time and what are the underlying …

No biotic homogenisation across decades but consistent effects of landscape position and pH on macrophyte communities in boreal lakes
It has been predicted that spatial beta diversity shows a decreasing trend in the
Anthropocene due to increasing human impact, causing biotic homogenisation. We aimed to …
