The response of diatom community to small hydropower plant and fish farm
Published in International Journal of Limnology
Some of the direct and indirect environmental impacts are related to the construction of fish farms (FFs) and small hydropower plants (SHPs) around the world. Diatom communities are one of the best bioindicators of various pressures like eutrophication, chemical and organic pollution. The main objective of this study was to examine the influence of...

Using the Fossil Record to Understand Extinction Risk and Inform Marine Conservation in a Changing World
Understanding the long-term effects of ongoing global environmental change on marine ecosystems requires a cross-disciplinary approach. Deep-time and recent fossil records can contribute by identifying traits and environmental conditions associated with elevated extinction risk during analogous events in the geologic past and by providing baseline ...
Förekomst av rödlistade vedlevande svampar i skog med olika påverkansgrad: en pilotstudie / Occurrence of red-listed xyl...
This pilot study was conducted to test if there are differences in occurrence of red-listed xylophagous fungi in forests dependent on degrees of human impact on the forests. Three main degrees of human impact was investigated: little impact (natural forest); medium impact (semi-natural forest) and high impact (monoculture plantation). These forests...
Humans as biodiversity engineers: trait-based approaches to understand human impact on temporal changes in plant communi...
Although the current human impact on ecosystems is unprecedented, human activities have been altering ecosystems for millennia. The temporal domain in ecology is understudied but increasingly recognised for its relevance to comprehending natural dynamics and contextualising recent biodiversity change. Understanding how human activities shape plant ...
Plant diversity in Mediterranean coastal dune systems subjected to anthropogenic disturbances
Published in Biodiversity Research and Conservation
Mediterranean coastal dunes have an undeniable value in terms of floristic diversity as a result of their well-adapted plant species, such as psammophytes and halophytes. Unfortunately, these ecosystems are often disturbed by anthropogenic activities, such as the use of bathing settlements and trampling, the construction of paths or roads, and graz...

Apophytes in the flora of the Seymskiy Regional Landscape Park (Ukraine): analysis and list of species
Published in Biodiversity Research and Conservation
The group of apophytes (native synanthropic plants) in the Seymskiy Regional Landscape Park (Sumy Oblast, northern Ukraine) has been studied with respect to its species composition and other features. This group in the park includes 285 species from 193 genera and 63 families. Among them, the most numerously represented families are the Asteraceae,...
