One questionnaire—Two points in time
Concern has been raised that in recent decades knowledge of plant species has severely declined in western countries. However, in the absence of regularly repeated and standardized surveys, no reliable statement can be made as to whether plant species knowledge has actually declined in recent decades. The present study aimed to contribute to filling this knowledge gap by repeating a survey on the knowledge of plant species 20 years later. Laypeop…
The influence of plant diversity on people’s perception and aesthetic appreciation of grassland vegetation
The conservation of biodiversity critically depends on the value that humans attach to it. Apart from an ecological and economic value, an aesthetic value has often been assigned to biodiversity. However, it is not known whether lay people appreciate the diversity of species and not just certain individual species or nature as a whole. We studied in a series of experiments and field studies people’s perception and appreciation of species diversit…
The Importance of Population Processes for the Maintenance of Biological Diversity
The central question in ecology is why a certain species is present at a given site and absent at others. A common view is that the physical site conditions determine the distribution and abundance of species, and therefore patterns of species and ecosystem diversity. Results from research in population biology, including examples from our own multidisciplinary biodiversity research programme, demonstrate, however, that observed patterns of speci…
