🦉How do #birds respond to #forest management changes? Our study recorded 150 forest plots, assessing structure, herbaceous layer, and arthropod diversity/biomass. Birds rely on arthropod size, diversity, and composition, not specific food types ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… PLOS One

Nice to get the news that Sophie Peter's 'Cultural worldviews consistently explain bundles of ecosystem service prioritisation across rural Germany' is one of People and Nature top 10 most cited articles of 2022-2023. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Biodiversity Exploratories Research

📢New paper on #bird #diversity with 6 years of #monitoring data published !🐦 Landscape heterogeneity in #forest and #grassland benefits bird diversity! Ecosystem and regional context must be considered to understand the impact of management practices. frontiersin.org/journals/envir…

Excited to share a publication from a BioDivKultur and Explos data collaboration! Data from 111 grassland plots over 11 years were analyzed, uncovering the negative effect of mowing on insects and spiders. 🕷️🦟🪲 Check it out!

Biodiversity loss in aboveground arthropods is known, but what about belowground ones, e.g. oribatid mites? This study found no linear decline in abundance or diversity. Differences in precipitation and soil properties are more important than forest types. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oi…

🌱 Ever felt entangled in feedback loops? Then you've likely encountered the complex dance between plant diversity and productivity! Let's dive into my latest paper in Journal of Ecology, where we tackle this ecological puzzle. 🧵👇 (see also our Journal of Ecology blog post!)

...and another publication from BioDivKultur together with the Explos! 🎉The newly developed mowing index can be used to assess the impact of mowing intensity on biodiversity and ecosystem processes! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

We are happy to be again at the @GfoeSoc conference this year in #Freising. Visit our BE info stand in the Forestry building and don't forget to come to our own Biodiversity Exploratories-Session on Thursday morning 9 am in ZHG, HS 15. 🗣

We had great Biodiversity Exploratories Session this morning at @GfoeSoc. Thanks to the organizers, all speakers for their informative talks and the interested audience! If you are now eager to join the BE, then don't miss our call for proposals probably published in mid Dec.

🐝🌼🪰New work on food, insecticides, pollination, health, bumblebees & hoverflies! ➡️Check out our new publication: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… 🔜Corresponding field study is not yet published (Spoiler: Experiments confirm field study) Biodiversity Exploratories Research Universität Ulm Journal of Applied Ecology

📢New paper published about #wood-colonizing microbial #biodiversity!🪵🦠The wood-colonizing communities were more strongly determined by extrinsic factors such as the #ecosystem type and microclimate than by intrinsic factors! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The article uses comprehensive data from the Biodiversity Exploratories Research platform to show that the joint goals are best achieved in stands of larger trees, and that pine forests are poor for both biodiversity and carbon
