Farmland abandonment in Europe: an overview of drivers, consequences and assessment of the sustainability implications.
(2018)In the last decades, there have been large areas of agricultural land that were abandoned in Europe, producing significant social and environmental impacts. Land abandonment is a dynamic process, which is influenced by a ... -
Filamentous cyanobacteria preserved in masses of fungal hyphae from the Triassic of Antarctica
(2020)Permineralized peat from the central Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica has provided a wealth of information on plant and fungal diversity in Middle Triassic high-latitude forest paleoecosystems; however, there are no ... -
Finding justice in wild, novel ecosystems: a review through a multispecies lens
(2023)Mainstreaming nature-based solutions in cities has grown in scale and magnitude in recent times but is still considered to be the main challenge for transitioning our cities and their communities to be more climate resilient ... -
Focus group discourses in a mined landscape
(2010)Focus group research is rarely used for examining environmental discourses other than when conflict arises. This study looks at local citizen perceptions in relation to mined (or ‘cutaway’) industrial peatland landscapes ... -
Fossil Fungi

Frankbaronia velata nov. sp., a putative peronosporomycete oogonium containing multiple oospores from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert
(2013)Spherical to pyriform microfossils containing multiple smooth-walled spherules from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert are described as oogonia of a new fossil peronosporomycete based on congruencies in basic morphology to ... -
From science to society: implementing effective strategies to improve wild pollinator health
(2022)Despite a substantial increase in scientific, public and political interest in pollinator health and many practical conservation efforts, incorporating initiatives across a range of scales and sectors, pollinator health ... -
Fungal sporulation in a Permian plant fragment from Antarctica. Bulletin of Geosciences
(2018)Documented evidence of fungi from the Permian of Antarctica mostly consists of dispersed remains that do not provide the whole complement of diagnostic features necessary to determine even broad systematic affinities. A ... -
Fungi as parasites: A conspectus of the fossil record
(Springer, 2021)Fungal parasites are important drivers in ecosystem dynamics today that can have far-reaching effects on the performance and community structure of other organisms. Knowledge of the fossil record and evolution of ... -
Fungi associated with Glossopteris (Glossopteridales) leaves from the Permian of Antarctica: A preliminary report
(2015)Fungi today occur on virtually every plant part, living and dead, and represent a significant proportion of fungal diversity. Arborescent seed ferns characterized by large, tongue-shaped leaves with reticulate venation ... -
Fungicides, herbicides and bees: A systematic review of existing research and methods
(Public Library of Science, 2019)Bees and the pollination services they deliver are beneficial to both food crop production, and for reproduction of many wild plant species. Bee decline has stimulated widespread interest in assessing hazards and risks to ... -
Genetic diversity and floral width variation in introduced and native populations of a long-lived woody perennial
(2014)Populations of introduced species in their new environments are expected to differ from native populations, due to processes such as genetic drift, founder effects and local adaptation, which can often result in rapid ... -
Genetic variation in Miscanthus ×giganteus and the importance of estimating genetic distance thresholds for differentiating clones
(2015)Miscanthus × giganteus (Mxg) is an important bioenergy feedstock crop, however, genetic diversity among legacy cultivars may be severely constrained. Only one introduction from Japan to Denmark of this sterile, triploid, ... -
A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production
(2019)Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield-related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on ... -
Globalisation and pollinators: Pollinator declines are an economic threat to global food systems
(2022)Trade in animal-pollinated crops plays an important role in global food systems: in many low-income countries, export of pollinated crops such as coffee and cocoa plays a significant role in livelihoods, while food systems ... -
Green Infrastructure: A ?How To? Guide for Disseminating and Integrating the Concept into Spatial Planning Practice
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2016) -
Ground flora of field boundary dry stone walls in the Burren, Ireland
(2020)Despite the fact that field boundary (dry) stone walls are globally common in rural landscapes, very little research has been carried out regarding them. Dry stone walls may act as refuges for a range of plants and animals, ... -
Habitat Fragmentation Increases Overall Richness, but Not of Habitat-Dependent Species
(2020)Debate rages as to whether habitat fragmentation leads to the decline of biodiversity once habitat loss is accounted for. Previous studies have defined fragmentation variously, but research needs to address “fragmentation ...
