Background Ecological communities tend to be spatially structured due to environmental gradients and/or spatially contagious processes such as growth, dispersion and species interactions. Data transformation followed by usage of algorithms such as Re

Coastal habitats are rich in biodiversity and provide highly valued ecosystem services. However, they are subject to many environmental drivers that can have severe impacts on these inherently fragile ecosystems. A resurvey approach was used to asses

Using compositional and functional indicators for biodiversity conservation monitoring of semi-natural grasslands in Scotland

Publikováno v: BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION

Compositional indicators (i.e. indices that focus on the identity of species, genes or phylogeny) have been widely used to estimate and monitor biodiversity, however, their use in combination with species and/or community functional characteristics r
