The role of the spatial dimension within the framework of sustainable landscapes and natural capital (2006, background): “survival (e.g. Dramstad et al., 1996; Goudie, 2000; Moser et al., 2002).”
Effects of changes in agricultural land-use on landscape structure and arable weed vegetation over the last 50 years (2006, methodology): “In addition to the indices available in FRAGSTATS the index number of shape characterising points (NSCP) was used as a measure of shape and boundary complexity (Moser et al., 2002).”
The taxonomic level order as a possible tool for rapid assessment of Arthropod diversity in agricultural landscapes (2007, background): “032 natural and semi-natural habitats and many of their inhabitants (Burel et al., 1998; Zechmeister and Moser, 2001; Moser et al., 2002).”
Combined ecological and economic modelling in agricultural land use scenarios (2004, unknown): “mainly for analysing landscape changes (Lausch and Herzog, 2002; Moser et al., 2002).”
The influence of thematic resolution on metric selection for biodiversity monitoring in agricultural landscapes (2007, background): “plants and bryophytes (Moser et al. 2002).”

Human appropriation of net primary production and species diversity in agricultural landscapes (2003, methodology): “The 38 squares were mapped using orthophotos (years: 1992–1996, resolution 0.5 m) combined with field mapping in 1999 (Moser et al., 2002) which resulted in a total of 3305 distinct landscape elements each of which was classified into one of 75 land-cover classes.”
Biodiversity indicators: the choice of values and measures (2003, background): “In fact, there is increasing evidence that at least for some taxonomic groups, species numbers are correlated with habitat heterogeneity (Moser et al., 2002), but not in others (Rykken and Capen, 1997).”
Bryophytes as potential indicators of forest integrity (2007, background): “Selection of indicators, and implementation of other conservation measures, may occur before conclusive data are available (Caro and O’Doherty, 1998), often from a sense of urgency created by potential loss of species and/or habitat ( Moser et al., 2002; Rolstad et al., 2002).”
Surrogate taxa for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes of eastern Austria (2004, background): “Greater agricultural disturbance leads most often to landscape simplification and decreasing species richness (Zechmeister and Moser, 2001; Moser et al., 2002).”
