TL;DR: The Biodiversity Exploratories (www.biodiversityexploratories.de ) as mentioned in this paper is a large-scale and long-term project for functional biodiversity, which includes a hierarchical set of standardized field plots in three different regions of Germany covering manifold management types and intensities in grasslands and forests.

TL;DR: This map reveals that the global number of trees is approximately 3.04 trillion, an order of magnitude higher than the previous estimate, and the globalNumber of trees has fallen by approximately 46% since the start of human civilization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined a compound, additive LUI index for managed grasslands including meadows and pastures, which summarizes the standardized intensity of three components of land use, namely fertilization, mowing, and livestock grazing at each site.

TL;DR: In this paper, the composition of the whole vascular forest plant flora with about 1220 species was studied in the forests of Mt. Kilimanjaro in East Africa with respect to altitudinal zonation and ecological factors.

TL;DR: Edaphic properties, such as pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, C/N ratio, phosphorus, nitrate, ammonium, soil moisture, soil temperature, and soil respiration, had an impact on community composition as assessed by fingerprinting, but interrelations with environmental parameters among subgroup terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs) differed significantly, e.g., different Gp1 T- RFs correlated positively or negatively with nitrogen content.
