TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a rapid assessment methodology aimed at evaluating land-cover quality for birds, plants, butterflies and bees around seven UK Natura 2000 sites, based on historical (1950, 1990), current (2000) and future (2030) landcover data, the last projected using three alternative scenarios: a growth-applied strategy, a business-as-might-be-usual (BAMBU) scenario, and sustainable European development goal (SEDG) scenario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flower strips enhance abundance of bumble bee queens and males in landscapes with few honey bee hives
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors surveyed bees in 16 sites in Sweden in summer 2018 and found that adding honeybee hives in combination with flower strips to landscapes with few floral resources should be avoided as it cancelled the positive effect of flower strips.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aboveground insect herbivory increases plant competitive asymmetry, while belowground herbivory mitigates the effect
TL;DR: It is shown that insect herbivory can strongly influence plant competitive interactions and appeared to mitigate the influence of aboveground herbivor, and this mechanism may play a role for plant species coexistence.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that ALARM FSN sites together with other research sites in Europe jointly could be used as a future backbone for research proposals.
