Temperate forest plants are associated with heterogeneous semi-open canopy conditions shaped by large herbivores - Nature Plants
Temperate forest plants favour heterogeneous semi-open woodlands associated with high herbivore densities, rather than uniform closed-canopy forests. Herbivore loss is therefore a probable driver of e...

The loss of megafauna over the last 50,000 years has caused ecological theories to be based on already-degraded ecosystems.

Bluesky ekspanderer vildsomt, men de blå sommerfugle forsvinder fra Danmark. Her ændringer i % i udbredelse fra 1990 til 2020. Kun skovblåfugl er i fremgang; den kan godt lide haver og parker. Almindelig er stadig almindelig, men alle de andre... 😢 [DEL gerne] #dknatur #biodiversitet
