Potential alien ranges of European plants will shrink in the future, but less so for already naturalized than for not yet naturalized species
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Aims The rapid increase in the number of species that have naturalized beyond their native range is among the most apparent features of the Anthropocene. How alien species will respond to other processes of future global ...
The leaf economic and plant size spectra of European forest understory vegetation
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Forest understories play a vital role in ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services. However, the extent to which environmental conditions drive dominant ecological strategies in forest understories at ...
Different Sets of Traits Explain Abundance and Distribution Patterns of European Plants at Different Spatial Scales
(Wiley, 2021-03-11)
Aim Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by ...
Distribution maps of vegetation alliances in Europe
(Wiley, 2022-01)
Aim The first comprehensive checklist of European phytosociological alliances, orders and classes (EuroVegChecklist) was published by Mucina et al. (2016, Applied Vegetation Science, 19 (Suppl. 1), 3-264). However, this ...
Ellenberg-type indicator values for European vascular plant species
(Wiley, 2023-01)
Aims: Ellenberg-type indicator values are expert-based rankings of plant species according to their ecological optima on main environmental gradients. Here we extend the indicator-value system proposed by Heinz Ellenberg ...
Testing macroecological abundance patterns: The relationship between local abundance and range size, range position and climatic suitability among European vascular plants
(Wiley, 2020-10)
Aim A fundamental question in macroecology centres around understanding the relationship between species' local abundance and their distribution in geographical and climatic space (i.e. the multi-dimensional climatic space ...
EUNIS Habitat Classification: Expert system, characteristic species combinations and distribution maps of European habitats
(Wiley, 2020-10)
Aim The EUNIS Habitat Classification is a widely used reference framework for European habitat types (habitats), but it lacks formal definitions of individual habitats that would enable their unequivocal identification. ...
