Short intro: I am vegetation scientist and macroecologist, interested in biological invasions, impacts of Global Change on Communities and Ecosystems. Lately, I started to monitor vegetation succession in glacier forefields of four Northern Limestone glaciers.

Ich habe heute das "Regierungsprogramm" der #noAFD für Sachsen-Anhalt bekommen. Alleine beim Lesen der Überschriften wurde mir schon schlecht. Und drinnen wurde es nicht besser.

Space‐use by feral cattle and horses shapes vegetation structure in a trophic rewilding area

Feral cattle (Bos taurus) and horses (Equus ferus caballus) are commonly introduced to European rewilding areas to halt vegetation succession and to conserve light-demanding species. Yet, we still do....

Biodiversity science and policy need more model intercomparisons

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 06 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00134-4Climate model intercomparison projects have been essential in identifying mechanisms of human-caused climate change, but similar efforts in biodiversity science have lagged behind. This Perspective discusses existing biodiversity model intercomparison projects and identifies opportunities for their advancement in the future.
