We used an isolated floodplain of the river Danube as a model system to gain an understanding on the functioning of retention areas to predict future ...

Flooding governs riparian plant diversity along boreal rivers but the ecological role of extreme floods is only partly understood. We studied the dyna...

Declines in abundance and diversity of bumble bees (Bombus spp.) in Europe have been linked to agricultural intensification and the resulting loss of ...

Experimental manipulations have shown positive impacts of increased species richness on ecosystem productivity, but there remain some questions about ...

Many grasslands in north-west Europe are productive but species-poor communities resulting from intensive agriculture. Reducing the intensity of manag...

Coastal systems provide many cultural ecosystem services (CES) to humans. Fewer studies have focused solely on CES, while those comparing CES across c...

In further work [cf. F.A. 27 No. 106], the annual cycle of water movement has been studied over five growing seasons in adjacent semi-mature stands of...
