  • The Water Framework Directive’s protection of groundwater-dependent terrestrial ecosystems

    Open AccessLasse Baaner, Helle Tegner Anker et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2025References: 25

    The Water Framework Directive protects groundwater-dependent terrestrial ecosystems, but its concepts and definitions remain unclear. This paper aims to clarify the margin of discretion for the Member States, by applying a cross-disciplinary legal and biological analysis. We conclude that description of the protected ecosystems must include at least key components and processes and be based on a number of well-known groundwater-dependent habitats…

  • The biodiversity effect of reduced tillage on soil microbiota

    Open AccessTobias Guldberg Frøslev, Ida Broman Nielsen et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2022References: 39

    The conversion of natural habitats into farmland has been a leading cause of species loss worldwide. Here, we investigated to what extent less intensive soil disturbance can mitigate this loss. Specifically, we examined whether reduced soil disturbance by tillage in agricultural fields could contribute to soil microbial biodiversity by providing a habitat for species that are limited by conventional tillage. To do so, we studied the diversity of …

  • Economic assessment of rewilding versus agri-environmental nature management

    Open AccessJesper Sølver Schou, Jesper Bladt et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2021Cited by: 3References: 40

    Policies aiming at improving biodiversity often consist of costly agri-environmental schemes, i.e. subsidized grazing or mowing of semi-natural areas. However, these practices have widely been found to be insufficient to mitigate biodiversity loss. Rewilding, i.e. restoring natural processes in self-sustaining biodiverse ecosystems, has been proposed as an alternative and is hypothesized to be a more cost-efficient approach to promote biodiversit…

  • Trophic Rewilding Advancement in Anthropogenically Impacted Landscapes (TRAAIL)

    Open AccessPil Birkefeldt Møller Pedersen, Rasmus Ejrnæs et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 2References: 35

    A variety of rewilding initiatives are being implemented across Europe, generally characterized by a more functionalist approach to nature management compared to the classic compositional approach. To address the increasing need for a framework to support implementation of rewilding in practical management, we present TRAAIL-Trophic Rewilding Advancement in Anthropogenically Impacted Landscapes. TRAAIL has been co-produced with managers and other…

  • Science for a wilder Anthropocene

    Open AccessJens-Christian Svenning, Pil Birkefeldt Møller Pedersen et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2016

    Trophic rewilding is an ecological restoration strategy that uses species introductions to restore top-down trophic interactions and associated trophic cascades to promote self-regulating biodiverse ecosystems. Given the importance of large animals in trophic cascades and their widespread losses and resulting trophic downgrading, it often focuses on restoring functional megafaunas. Trophic rewilding is increasingly being implemented for conservat…
