TRANSPONDER – Transnational biodiversity and ecosystem assessment approaches for pondscapes in Europe
Meta-Heroes: Metacommunities and the role of habitat networks in safeguarding against biodiversity loss under fragmentation and environmental stress
Effects of urbanisation, a drying climate and invasive fish on amphibian communities in Hungary
Understanding the role of ponds and their networks in supporting aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity in the urban landscape
CLIMANATRES – Climate proofing ecological restoration plans in the middle and lower Danube Region
Our project and we are committed to creation of habitat suitability models & maps for the region, apply them to climate change scenarios, produce decision support tools to underpin restoration mapping, test their applicability and work […]
Seed dispersal by waterbirds in Iceland
Birds provide multiple ecosystem services, but one of the most important is their role in plant dispersal. In recent decades, seed dispersal studies have focused on frugivory and seed caching, but some papers showed that granivorous […]
FORbEST: Safeguarding carbon and biodiversity across european forest ecosystems through multi-actor innovation
The FORbEST project seeks to restore and protect natural and semi-natural forest ecosystems, as a means of achieving EU biodiversity and climate objectives, and ultimately creating a climate-neutral and sustainable society. The consortium is composed of […]
The effects of fine-scale canopy openings of continuous cover forestry on the understory vegetation – the investigation of skid trails and gaps.
Continuous cover forestry is a management approach that – besides timber production – maintains the forest biota, processes and ecosystem services, thus ensuring the multifunctionality of the forests. It uses interventions of a scale and intensity […]
The microclimatic buffering capacity of managed forests under different management regimes
Climate change and biodiversity decline are among the most pressing global crises we have to face. An important tool for mitigating their negative impacts worldwide, along with the support of other ecosystem services, is the maintenance […]
Life 4 Oak Forests. Conservation management tools for increasing structural and compositional biodiversity in N2000 oak forests.
The biodiversity of oak forests is declining as a result of intensive human use. With the nature conservation interventions of the LIFE4OAK FORESTS project, our goal is to reverse this process. The project aims to promote […]
Increasing the ecological sustainability of oak forests by close-to-nature forestry based on experimental research (#oakadapt)
Central European oak dominated forests have been used for centuries and currently exhibit serious biodiversity decline associated with global environmental changes. Nonetheless, they preserve considerable natural capital. They have a key role in the timber provisioning […]
Flowers and pollinators for the buzzing cities
Pollinators play a fundamental role in nature and human life. Nowadays, the pressure to protect pollinating insects is shifting from farmlands to cities. They can be supported by maintaining semi-natural habitats and introducing novel techniques, such […]
Prevention, anticipation and mitigation of tick-borne disease risk applying the DAMA protocol (PRAGMATICK)
Pipeline for Rapid Diagnostics of Emergency Transboundary Infectious Diseases (Perpare-TID)
Complex dispersal networks of wetlands
RESPIN – reinforce science-policy interfaces in innovative ways to boost effectiveness and interconnectedness of biodiversity and climate policies
In order to inform global action on biodiversity and climate protection, IPBES, IPCC and corresponding national processes were created to improve the science-policy interface (SPI) between knowledge holders and decision makers. Nevertheless, there are large differences […]
Diversity under the sun: can solar parks support biodiversity and ecosystem services?
Large grassland areas are converted to arable fields or less productive ones are degraded through grassland abandonment. This land-use change and habitat loss are among the primary drivers of grassland biodiversity decline. Mitigating these processes requires […]
SELINA – Science for Evidence-based and Sustainable Decisions About Natural Capital
The Horizon Europe Call for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services: Ecosystems and their Services for an Evidence-Based Policy and Decision-Making programme has awarded the SELINA (Science for Evidence-Based and Sustainable Decisions about Natural Capital) project for funding. […]
