Assessing the risk of impact of farming intensification on calcareous grasslands in Europe: A quantitative implementation of the MIRABEL framework

Article Abstract:

A conceptual framework MIRABEL is quantitatively updated that uses newly available pan-European spatially explicit data on pressures and habitats at risk. This quantitative assessment shows that the number of calcareous grasslands potentially at risk of eutrophication and overgrazing is rapidly increasing in Europe which is giving an early warning signal, especially for habitats located in areas that have traditionally farmed extensively.

Mountain biodiversity patterns at low and high latitudes

Article Abstract:

Mountain plant species increase average total distribution areas from the Equator towards the polar areas, whereas the species richness decreases. An Inverse Rapport's Rule is faced for the genetic component of mountain biodiversity, and the total diversity, integrated across scales, which may be close to constant across latitudes throughout the world.

Mountain biodiversity, its causes and function

Article Abstract:

In the world's highlands, biodiversity is a crucial element of the globe's life support system and exerts enormous economic value. Component of biodiversity comes into play in mountains.
