Kaufmann S., Delp M., Heinze D., Kreimeyer L., Rosenbach M. & Hauck M. (2026): Tree species choice by forest management and biodiversity: Replacing Abies alba by Picea abies and Pseudotsuga menziesii drives epiphytes to higher elevations, Forest Ecology and Management, 605: 123501 [12 p.]

Pseudotsuga menziesii is considered as a replacement tree species for the drought-sensitive Picea abies in Central European forests, which was often cultivated outside its natural elevational distribution range. Hence, the natural tree species composition at lower elevations was replaced mostly by Picea abies, which in turn is partly displaced by Pseudotsuga menziesii. How epiphytic bryophytes and lichens respond to such alterations of the natural tree species composition has been only insufficiently … Read more...

Santi E., Maccherini S., Rocchini D., Bonini I., Brunialti G., Favilli L., Perini C., Pezzo F., Piazzini S., Rota E., Salerni E. & Chiarucci A. (2010): Simple to sample: Vascular plants as surrogate group in a nature reserve, Journal for Nature Conservation, 18(1): 2–11

One of the basic tools to quantify biodiversity is based on the use of surrogate species. Such groups of species are easily assessed and may reflect the diversity of other important and less easily detectable taxa (cross-taxon surrogacy). Among these key groups of species, the vascular plant flora has great potential in determining diversity of other groups, since in terrestrial ecosystems it constitutes the bulk of total biomass and provides the physical structure for other organisms. The cross-taxon … Read more...

Staniaszek-Kik M., Żarnowiec J. & Chmura D. (2016): The vascular plant colonization on decaying Picea abies logs in Karkonosze mountain forest belts: the effects of forest community type, cryptogam cover, log decomposition and forest management, European Journal of Forest Research, 135: 1145–1157

Among the vascular plants there is a lack of the typical epixylous species but they are a constant component on decaying wood. Their distribution patterns on this kind of substrate seem to be the least known among phototrophs. A total of 454 dead logs of Picea abies were analyzed with regard to cover of vascular plants and the independent morphometric features of logs and altitude. Four types of forest were compared, and the frequency and cover of the most frequent species were analyzed across the … Read more...

Kärvemo S., Jönsson M., Hekkala A.M., Sjögren J. & Strengbom J. (2021): Multi-taxon conservation in northern forest hot-spots: the role of forest characteristics and spatial scales, Landscape Ecology, 36: 989–1002

Context: Biodiversity is highly affected by industrial forestry, which leads to the loss and fragmentation of natural habitats. To date, most conservation studies have evaluated associations among a single species group, forest type, or spatial scale. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the richness of multiple species groups across various forest types and characteristics at multiple scales. Methods: We used the occurrence data for 277 species of conservation interest from 455 stands of high … Read more...

Yang Z.-H., Wang J.-X., Li R.-T. & Zhang L.-L. (2026): Oxneriaria jiuquanensis (Megasporaceae, lichenized Ascomycota), a new species from China, Phytotaxa, 741(1): 98–106

A new species Oxneriaria jiuquanensis is reported from China based on morphological, chemical, and phylogenetic evidence. It is characterized by verrucose-areolate thallus with peripherally elongated areoles, indistinct prothallus, sessile and lecanorine apothecia, weakly pruinose discs, ascospores 12.5–17.5 × 7.5–10 μm, moniliform paraphyses, and the presence of substictic acid. Detailed descriptions of morphological, chemical, and phylogenetic characteristics, as well as illustrations of … Read more...

Nascimbene J., Fontana V. & Spitale D. (2014): A multi-taxon approach reveals the effect of management intensity on biodiversity in Alpine larch grasslands, Science of The Total Environment, 487: 110–116

In the Alps, larch grasslands form one of the most pleasing aspects of the landscape. However, their effectiveness in contributing to biodiversity conservation may depend on the intensity of their management. We used a multi-taxon approach to evaluate the effects of the intensification of management practices and those of abandonment on the biodiversity of the main autotrophic organisms hosted in this habitat, including vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens. The study was carried out in the eastern … Read more...

(2021): Dispersal ability, trophic position and body size mediate species turnover processes: Insights from a multi-taxa and multi-scale approach, Diversity and Distributions, 27: 439–453

Aim: Despite increasing interest in β-diversity, that is the spatial and temporal turnover of species, the mechanisms underlying species turnover at different spatial scales are not fully understood, although they likely differ among different functional groups. We investigated the relative importance of dispersal limitations and the environmental filtering caused by vegetation for local, multi-taxa forest communities differing in their dispersal ability, trophic position and body size. Location: … Read more...

Jaskólska J., Timdal E., Ossowska E.A., Möller E.J., Szczepańska K. & Kukwa M. (2025): Morphological variation of Rehmia furfurosa (Rhizocarpaceae, lichenized Ascomycota), with the first record from Poland and potential species distribution map generated using ecological niche modelling, Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 94: 213792 [14 p.]

Rehmia furfurosa (formerly Rhizocarpon furfurosum) was historically classified within the genus Rhizocarpon and placed in the brown subgenus Phaeothallus because of the absence of rhizocarpic acid in the thallus. This rare species is found only in Europe and predominantly grows on metal-rich substrates. This species often occurs in a sterile form, making its identification difficult. Here, we report the first records of R. furfurosa in Poland, accompanied by nuITS rDNA sequences of the species from … Read more...
