At which spatial and temporal scales can fungi indicate habitat connectivity?
2018
Isolation of habitats in space and time affects species globally and in a multitude of ecosystems [1]. It is however often difficult to assess the level of isolation from the point of view of the focal species [2]. Wood-decaying fungal species have been used as indicators of 'conservation value' in Europe [3] and North America. The indicator species were commonly assigned based on expert opinions, but few scientific evaluations have been performed of what these species actually indicate. Building on previous classifications of wood-decaying fungal indicator species on Norway spruce, we hypothesized that indicator species would differ from non-indicator species in how they respond to local t…
Biodiversity offsets: can we push the threshold for offsetable impacts by translocation of substrates and species?

Biodiversity offsets: can we push the threshold for offsetable impacts by translocation of substrates and species? Land-use have led to changes in ecosystem structures and processes, biodiversity loss, and declines in ecosystem services. However, biodiversity offsetting aimed at compensating for residual adverse biodiversity impacts arising from land-use projects potentially provides an approach that links biodiversity conservation and human development. In Sweden, biodiversity offsetts has had limited use so far, but there are expectations that an increased use of biodiversity offsets could help reduce biodiversity loss and maintain ecosystem function. To fulfill these expectations we need…
