Airborne DNA reveals predictable spatial and seasonal dynamics of fungi

Using a globally distributed standardized aerial sampling of fungal spores, we show that the hyperdiverse kingdom of fungi follows globally highly predictable spatial and temporal dynamics, with seasonality in both species richness and community composition increasing with latitude.

European mushroom assemblages are darker in cold climates

The functions of color in fungi are not well characterized. Here, Krah and colleagues investigate the color of mushroom assemblages across Europe and show relationships with climate, nutritional mode (saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal) and seasonality.

Estimating retention benchmarks for salvage logging to protect biodiversity

Salvage logging has become a common practice to gain economic returns from naturally disturbed forests, but it could have considerable negative effects on biodiversity. Here the authors use a recently developed statistical method to estimate that ca. 75% of the naturally disturbed forest should be left unlogged to maintain 90% of the species unique to the area.

The contribution of insects to global forest deadwood decomposition

Multi-year field experiments across six continents suggest that insects have an important contribution to decomposition and carbon release from forest deadwood.

Radar vision in the mapping of forest biodiversity from space

Satellite-borne radar systems are promising tools to obtain spatial habitat data with complete geographic coverage. Here the authors show that freely available Sentinel-1 radar data perform as well as standard airborne laser scanning data for mapping biodiversity of 12 taxa across temperate forests in Germany.

Heterogeneity–diversity relationships differ between and within trophic levels in temperate forests

An analysis across multiple species groups and different facets of stand-level heterogeneity in temperate forests from Central Europe reveals that heterogeneity–diversity relationships are not generalizable and predictable as modelling approaches suggest, varying even between ecologically similar species groups.

Better integration of chemical pollution research will further our understanding of biodiversity loss

Chemical pollution research should be better integrated with other drivers of biodiversity loss and the assessment of human impacts on ecosystems, to more effectively guide management strategies for biodiversity loss mitigation.

Effects of climate and forest development on habitat specialization and biodiversity in Central European mountain forests

Species richness across taxa showed U-shaped patterns along a forest development gradient in the northern Alps, which remained stable with elevation. Habitat specialization decreased for all taxa and beta diversity varied across taxa with elevation.
