Archaeosporites rhyniensis gen. et sp. nov. (Glomeromycota, Archaeosporaceae), from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert a fungal lineage morphologically unchanged from more than 400 million years
(2020)Background and Aims: Structurally preserved arbuscular mycorrhizas from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert represent core fossil evidence of the evolutionary history of mycorrhizal systems. Moreover, Rhynie chert fossils of ... -
Are field boundary hedgerows the earliest example of a nature-based solution?
(2021)The arrival of the phrase nature-based solutions into the lexicon of academics, planners, managers and policy makers in recent years has sparked a heated debate as to the effectiveness of using nature as a viable solution ... -
Assessing availability of European plant protection product data: an example evaluating basic area treated
(2022)Besides the benefits of plant protection products (PPPs) for agricultural production, there is an increasing acknowledgement of the associated potential environmental risks. Here, we examine the feasibility of summarizing ... -
Assessing Price Sensitivity of Forest Recreational Tourists in a Mountain Destination
(2019)Despite the large use of the travel cost method as estimation technique for the demand for forest recreation, information on price elasticity is only seldom reported. In this way, it is hard to understand if a large consumer ... -
