Temperate forests have been fundamentally altered by land use and other stressors
globally; these have reduced the abundance of primary and old-growth forests in particular …

This work establishes the relationship between bioclimatology and agronomy. Bioclimatic
indices are obtained for several areas under olive cultivation and correlated with olive …

Background The importance of structurally diverse forests for the conservation of biodiversity
and provision of a wide range of ecosystem services has been widely recognised. However …

The paper details an investigation of the stand structure and patterns of diversity observed in
the Runcu-Grosi Natural Reserve (western Romania), one of the best preserved natural …

Policies to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss often assume that protecting carbon‐
rich forests provides co‐benefits in terms of biodiversity, due to the spatial congruence of …

Aim Biodiversity monitoring and conservation are extremely complex, and surrogate taxa
may represent proxies to test methods and solutions. However, cross‐taxon correlations in …

Since adequate information on the distribution of biodiversity is hardly achievable,
biodiversity indicators are necessary to support the management of ecosystems. These …

Questions Do vascular plant species richness and beta‐diversity differ between managed
and structurally complex unmanaged stands? To what extent do species richness and beta …

In recent decades, the European populations of wild boar have grown substantially, as has
the impact of this species, owing above all to its rooting activity. Our aim was to investigate …

Different assembly processes may simultaneously affect local-scale variation of species
composition in temperate old-growth forests. Ground layer species diversity reflects chance …
