Plants play central roles in ecosystem dynamics as they provide essential resources for both consumers and decomposers. However, recent studies have confirmed that the sixth extinction event began approximately 100,000 years ago, coinciding with the migration of modern humans to different parts of the ...
recent studies have confirmed that the sixth extinction event began approximately 100,000 years ago, coinciding with the migration of modern humans to different parts of the world, and is still ongoing [1]. There are unprecedented rates of population decline ...

The balanced scorecard allows a semi-quantitative analysis of the performance of different conservation programs. We selected three European conservation programs (in a broad sense) to reflect the diversity of governmental and non-governmental instruments. We chose two government programs on a large spat...
The question what gap size would be most beneficial depends on the aim of the nature conservation management. If the main goal is to increase the biodiversity in forest areas, larger gaps would help to maintain subpopulations of some pioneer species which use openings as their habitat. In this...

our knowledge regarding the genetics of saproxylic beetles remains insufficient. This knowledge gap extends to understanding the influence of both quaternary history and contemporary forest dynamics on population genetics. To fill this gap, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of recent lite...
of the whole stand), the gaps are extended step by step (always with extension cuts on 20% of the area), until the whole stand is replaced. In the continuous cover method not only gap cuts, but also single tree removals are possible, enabling the maintenance of a closed canopy. The ...
