European lowland heaths have declined by up to 80% due to land use change and lack of management. There has been considerable research into the restoration of this threatened habitat. However, long-term outcomes of restoration are poorly understood,

Questions: 1. What is the scale and extent of spatial variability in factors affecting Betula invasion of heaths? 2. How much effect does each factor have on within-patch patterns of invasion? 3. How can this understanding aid in managing Betula inva

Previous research indicates that transition between lowland heath and scrub ecosystems depends upon soil phosphorus (P) sorption capacity (PSC). Experimental work found a positive relationship between P availability and tree invasion but the relation

Summary 1 Numerous studies describe thresholds at which transitions between alternate ecosystem states occur but few quantitatively delimit these conditions and present them in simple frameworks that are of use in ecosystem management. Previous resea

Summary 1 The invasion of Betula spp. represents the moment of transition between European lowland heath and scrub ecosystems. We hypothesized that Betula invasion was controlled by a multivariate threshold, comprising factors that may be subdivided
Heathlands in Europe reflect a long history of human activity and use. Through the ages heathlands have been of importance as (semi)agricultural areas, hunting territories and various other uses of mankind. This diversity of use has created a cultura

The oxygen consumption of a population of the Oribatid mite Nothrus silvestris Nicolet, occurring in a Danish heathland soil, has been estimated. Oxygen consumption closely follows fluctuations in population numbers and is influenced by soil temperat

An instrument is described which employs a mercury current-integrator ("Curtis Meter") in series with a thermistor and a mercury battery. This can be used to integrate temperatures at very precisely known localities even in thermally stratified habit
