  • Monitoring Data and Public Perception Diverge – Especially When Species Abundance Increases

    Open AccessCatalina Munteanu, Rita Sousa‐silva et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Behavior2026

    Environmental sciences aim to provide unbiased data for decision making, yet conservation management, and personal decisions often rely on perception shaped by experiences, information exchange, media exposure, and values. When monitoring data differs from people’s perceptions, unintended consequences (e.g. overlooked degradation, unacknowledged conservation successes) may occur. We compare long-term monitoring data of tree and bird abundance wit…

  • Declining bird populations are associated with loss of species identification skills in students

    Open AccessTalia Härtel, Janina Vanhöfen et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2025

    Biodiversity, including bird diversity, is essential for ecosystem stability. However, recent declines in bird populations threaten the balance, additionally reducing opportunities for people to encounter birds in their daily lives and potentially diminishing species identification skills. We here investigate the relationship between bird population trends, and habitats, and students’ bird species identification skills in Baden-Württemberg, Germa…

  • Drivers of human attitudes towards wolves Canis lupus in Kazakhstan

    Open AccessAlyona Koshkina, Svitlana Kudrenko et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Kazakhstan is recognized as a key stronghold for the grey wolf ( Canis lupus ). Nonetheless, the wolf status and the dynamics of human‐wolf coexistence in the region remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring current attitudes towards wolves in Kazakhstan and identify the underlying drivers of these attitudes. We collected information using a survey questionnaire (in person and online) from 1068 individuals across var…

  • Coppice loss and persistence in Germany

    Open AccessJohannes KampARTICLETrees Forests and People2022

    Coppicing is an ancient form of forest and woodland management. Coppice harbours important biodiversity and has a high cultural value, but has been transformed into high forest, neglected and abandoned over vast areas of Central Europe during the past century. Hotspots of remaining, active coppice systems are often under the radar of national and international forest and conservation authorities, because they are managed as socio-ecological syste…

  • Multiple trajectories of grassland fragmentation, degradation, and recovery in Russia's steppes

    Open AccessAlexander V Prishchepov, Ksenia V Myachina et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Over the 20th century, the Eurasian steppes underwent drastic land‐cover changes. Much progress was made studying cropland expansion and the post‐1990 (i.e., post‐Soviet) agricultural land abandonment in Eurasia. However, the alteration of steppe landscapes may include other disturbances, such as oil and gas development, formal and informal roads and garbage dumps, which were not systematically documented. Considering the example of the steppe Or…

  • Changes in anthropogenic influence on soils across Europe 1990–2018

    Open AccessTibor József Novák, Dániel Balla et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2020

    Soils have been widely transformed and degraded by human activities. The area occupied by soils that remain unmodified is decreasing, while recent rural outmigration and land abandonment provide new opportunities for soil restauration across larger area.Little is known about the spatial distribution of both near-natural and anthropogenically influenced soils on large scales. We here present a new methodology to assess soil naturalness across Euro…

  • Decreasing labor intensity in agriculture and the accessibility of major cities shape the rural population decline in postsocialist Russia

    Open AccessA V Sheludkov, Johannes Kamp et al.ARTICLEEurasian Geography and Economics2020Cited by: 5References: 10

    Rural population decline has been observed in most developed and emerging economies but has been especially apparent in postsocialist countries. In this paper, we investigate the spatial patterns and the determinants of the rural population dynamics during the transition period from 1991 to 2010 in Tyumen Province, Russia, with the aim of better understanding the forces underlying depopulation. We use descriptive and exploratory statistical tools…

  • Developing land use scenarios for stakeholder participation in Russia

  • Investigating potential transferability of place-based research in land system science

    Open AccessTomáš Václavík, Fanny Langerwisch et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Much of our knowledge about land use and ecosystem services in interrelated social-ecological systems is derived from place-based research. While local and regional case studies provide valuable insights, it is often unclear how relevant this research is beyond the study areas. Drawing generalized conclusions about practical solutions to land management from local observations and formulating hypotheses applicable to other places in the world req…
