The impact of even‐aged and uneven‐aged forest management on regional biodiversity of multiple taxa in European beech forests (2018, background): “This has also been shown to be an important mechanism in other ecosystems such as subtropical/tropical mountain forests (Schuldt et al., 2015) and even grasslands (Gossner et al., 2016).”
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in a 15-year grassland experiment: Patterns, mechanisms, and open questions (2017, background): “In permanent grasslands, intensification of grassland management by increasing fertilizer input, increasing the frequency of mowing, or, in the case of pastures, increasing stocking rates of grazing animals, results in strong decrease in diversity of many taxa, both above- and belowground, also at t”
Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe (2020, result): “However, some negative correlations did occur, consistent with findings that the species richness of above- and belowground taxa may respond to different drivers (Gossner et al. 2016).”
A global meta-analyses of the response of multi-taxa diversity to grazing intensity in grasslands (2019, background): “Grazing is well known as one of the major factors controlling the species composition and diversity in grasslands (Borer et al 2014, Allan et al 2015, Gossner et al 2016).”
Insect responses to global change offer signposts for biodiversity and conservation (2020, background): “…winners and losers among species in a non-random way, causing biotic homogenisation, whereby communities become increasingly similar and dominated by a relatively small number of generalist species (McKinney & Lockwood, 1999; Carvalheiro et al., 2013; Gossner et al., 2016; Valtonen et al., 2017).”
