Nitrogen deposition, habitat restoration and the EU Habitats Directive : moving beyond the deadlock with the dutch programmatic nitrogen approach? Ghent University
Dispersal and habitat cuing of Eurasian red squirrels in fragmented habitats University of Antwerp
Animal dispersal and subsequent settlement is a key process in the life history of many organisms, when individuals use demographic and environmental cues to target post-dispersal habitats where fitness will be highest. To investigate the hypothesis that environmental disturbance (habitat fragmentation) may alter these cues, we compared dispersal patterns of 60 red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in three study sites that differ in habitat ...
EUNIS Habitat Classification: Expert system, characteristic species combinations and distribution maps of European habitats Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Abstract Aim The EUNIS Habitat Classification is a widely used reference framework for European habitat types (habitats), but it lacks formal definitions of individual habitats that would enable their unequivocal identification. Our goal was to develop a tool for assigning vegetation-plot records to the habitats of the EUNIS system, use it to classify a European vegetation-plot database, and compile statistically-derived characteristic species ...
