EUNIS habitat maps: enhancing thematic and spatial resolution for Europe through machine learning Open
The EUNIS habitat classification is crucial for categorising European habitats, supporting European policy on nature conservation and implementing the Nature Restoration Law. To meet the growing demand for detailed and accurate habitat inf…

Reconsidering climatic predictors for high‐resolution niche models of alpine plants Open
The increasingly acknowledged and consequently also better understood microclimatic variability in terrestrial ecosystems has motivated a call for finer spatial resolution in species distribution modelling, especially in the case of sedent…

Six Decades of Losses and Gains in Alpha Diversity of European Plant Communities Open
Biodiversity change forecasts rely on long‐term time series, but such data are often scarce in space and time. Here, we interpolated spatiotemporal changes in species richness using a new method based on machine learning that does not requ…

Representativeness of the Natura 2000 network for preserving plant biodiversity in the European Union Open
The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the Eur…

Extensive climate-induced range shifts in butterflies across the globe Open
Ongoing global change is leading to the widespread redistribution of species1,2. Assessments of shifts in species geographic ranges, however, remain taxonomically biased and geographically limited2, especially for insects. We conducted a g…

The Global Canopy Atlas: analysis-ready maps of 3D structure for the world’s woody ecosystems Open
Woody canopies regulate exchanges of energy, water and carbon, and their three-dimensional (3D) structure supports much of terrestrial biodiversity. Remote sensing technologies such as airborne laser scanning (ALS) now enable the 3D mappin…

Climate‐Driven Variability in Flowering Phenology Changes Across Subtropical Mountains: Traits, Elevation Shifts, and Biogeographic Patterns Open
Flowering phenology has major impacts on physiological processes, survival, and reproductive success in angiosperms, serving as a critical biological indicator of climate change impacts. However, changes in flowering phenology and their de…

Small net local temporal changes in taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic biodiversity across European temperate forests Open
Summary We face increasing concerns about how the local diversity of native plant communities responds to various drivers of global change, yet often lack comprehensive studies that integrate several components of diversity and the effects…

Habitat-specific trends in taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity in European plant communities during the last 100 years Open
Despite widespread concern over global biodiversity change 1,2, the gains and losses at local plant communities remain contentious 3–5, primarily due to the lack of integrative, large-scale analyses across different habitats and multiple f…

Early detection of plant community responses to climate warming along mountain roads Open
Global warming is causing species to shift their ranges towards higher latitudes and elevations, leading to a reassembly of plant communities and associated community thermophilization (i.e. an increasing number or cover of thermophilic sp…

Multi-scale species richness estimation with deep learning Open
Biodiversity assessments are critically affected by the spatial scale at which species richness is measured. How species richness accumulates with sampling area depends on natural and anthropogenic processes whose effects can change depend…

Canopy Composition Outperforms Macroenvironment in Explaining European Forest Understory Composition Open
Aim Diversity patterns in forest understories have traditionally been studied using macroclimatic variables. However, microenvironmental conditions below forest canopies are likely more relevant, though difficult to obtain. Species composi…

Plant range disequilibrium in Europe is shaped more by disturbance than climate change Open
Species distributions often fail to match the climatic conditions that could sustain them, resulting in range disequilibrium. While recent focus has been on such mismatches arising from lags in biotic response to climate change (e.g., exti…

Limited evidence for range shift–driven extinction in mountain biota Open
Mountain biodiversity reorganizes rapidly as species shift upslope to track temperatures. Pervasive species redistribution poses substantial threats to mountain ecosystems, a phenomenon sometimes described as an “escalator to extinction,” …

A framework to quantify the vulnerability of insular biota to global changes Open
The majority of vulnerability assessments of biodiversity to global changes have so far been applied to, and designed for, mainland systems, overlooking islands. However, islands harbour unique biodiversity and are epicentres of ongoing ex…
