High resolution ancient sedimentary DNA shows that alpine plant diversity is associated with human land use and climate change
Abstract The European Alps are highly rich in species, but their future may be threatened by
ongoing changes in human land use and climate. Here, we reconstructed vegetation …

Vegetation type and grazing intensity jointly shape grazing effects on grassland biodiversity
In the Palaearctic steppe zone, overgrazing was identified as one of the key drivers of
declining grassland biodiversity, which underlines the necessity of the functional evaluation …
