Evaluating remote sensing data as a tool to minimize spatial autocorrelation in in-situ vegetation sampling
The distinction between geographical patterns caused by underlying environmental factors and inherent spatial autocorrelation is a general challenge for field research. The quality and validity of phytogeographical studies is strongly dependent on disentangling spatial and ecological proximity. This is also crucial for applied studies in nature conservation. One key assumption for many statistical analyses is the independence of observations. In …
Vermicompost integration in smallholder farming
The global agriculture sector faces numerous challenges, including environmental degradation from unsustainable practices and the impact of climate-induced shocks on food security. Using six years (2017–2022) of qualitative and quantitative observations from 8 villages in drought-prone and 4 villages in salinisation-affected regions of Bangladesh, this study evaluated (i) the production and utilization of vermicompost by smallholder farmers, and …
Global biomes and ecozones – Conceptual and spatial communalities and discrepancies
Various facets of global changes and related problems and challenges are asking for sound impact assessments and corresponding coping strategies. The human impact on nature is a major driver of biodiversity loss and restricted ecosystem functioning and services. Assessing such global changes is often done by using biomes as benchmarks. However, even if the wording and terminology seem common sense (‘tropical rain forest’, ‘steppe’, ‘boreal forest…
Nature-based solutions must be realized - not just proclaimed - in face of climatic extremes
Natural hazards resulting from climate change are increasing in frequency and intensity. As this is not a linear trend but rather by singularities and anomalies including a broad spectrum of climatic and weather extremes with high temporal and spatial uncertainty, focused avoidance strategies are difficult to prepare. However, the effects of climate change are mostly addressed with outdated ‘business as usual’ approaches by governments and most s…
Areas with High Hazard Potential for Autochthonous Transmission of Aedes albopictus-Associated Arboviruses in Germany
The intensity and extent of transmission of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus have increased markedly over the last decades. Autochthonous transmission of dengue and chikungunya by Aedes albopictus has been recorded in Southern Europe where the invasive mosquito was already established and viraemic travelers had imported the virus. Ae. albopictus populations are spreading northward into Germany. Here, we model the current an…
Drivers for plant species diversity in a characteristic tropical forest landscape in Bangladesh
The importance of understanding biotic patterns in managed tropical landscapes is increasingly recognised. Bangladesh is a country with a long human land-use history and constitutes almost a blind spot in vegetation science on the landscape scale. Here, we analyse patterns and drivers of plant species richness and community composition along a land-use intensity gradient in a forest landscape including tea gardens, tree plantations and nature res…
Differentiating the effects of climate and land use change on European biodiversity
Biodiversity increases the resistance of ecosystem productivity to climate extremes
Implementing Cargo Movement into Climate Based Risk Assessment of Vector-Borne Diseases
During the last decades the disease vector Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) has rapidly spread around the globe. Global shipment of goods contributes to its permanent introduction. Invaded regions are facing novel and serious public health concerns, especially regarding the transmission of formerly non-endemic arboviruses such as dengue and chikungunya. The further development and potential spread to other regions depends largely on their …
Quantification of wall surface heterogeneity and its influence on species diversity at medieval castles - implications for the environmentally friendly preservation of cultural heritage
Risk assessment of dengue virus amplification in Europe based on spatio-temporal high resolution climate change projections
During the last decades dengue incidences are emerging significantly around the globe. Currently, about one fifth of the human population lives in dengue risk zones, which are mainly located in (sub-) tropical regions of Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. Dengue infections in European population mainly referred to returning travellers from tropical endemic regions. Nevertheless, vector establishment in Europe already took place and therefore…
Characteristic pattern of species diversity on the Canary Islands
We use an island specific presence/absence data set for the Canary Islands' Arthropoda, Spernialophyin, Lichenes.,.139,oplytd, illollusca, Chordal, Pteadoplyin, Annelid and Neniatoda to assess the relative influence of environmental and historical factors on species distribution and endemism. Species richness and the percentage of island endemic species as well as similarity indices for island comparisons were calculated for all species groups. H…
Global climate change and local disturbance regimes as interacting drivers for shifting altitudinal vegetation patterns
Globale Klimaveranderungen und lokale Storungsregime als interagierende Steuergrosen sich verschiebender hohenzonaler Vegetationsmuster Klimaveranderungen werden im kommenden Jahrhundert eine wesentliche Steuergrose fur Okosystementwicklungen sein. Sie werden sich vor allem in Gebieten wie Hochgebirgen mit engen klimatischen Gradienten deutlich bemerkbar machen. Allerdings werden die Lebenszyklen und Ausbreitungsmoglichkeiten von Arten sowie die …
