Assessing the responses of Sphagnum micro-eukaryotes to climate changes using high throughput sequencing

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara

Current projections suggest that climate warming will be accompanied by more frequent and severe drought events. Peatlands store ca. one third of the world's soil organic carbon. Warming and drought may cause peatlands to become carbon sources through stim ...

Monitoring biodiversity in the Anthropocene using remote sensing in species distribution models

Stéphane Joost

In the face of the growing challenges brought about by human activities, effective planning and decision-making in biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, restoration, and sustainable development are urgently needed. Ecological models can play a key role ...

Defining and spatially modelling cultural ecosystem services using crowdsourced data

Devis Tuia

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are some of the most valuable contributions of ecosystems to human well- being. Nevertheless, these services are often underrepresented in ecosystem service assessments. Defining CES for the purposes of spatial quantificat ...

Optimised biomolecular extraction for metagenomic analysis of microbial biofilms from high-mountain streams

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Jade Brandani, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Paraskevi Pramateftaki

Glacier-fed streams (GFS) are harsh ecosystems dominated by microbial life organized in benthic biofilms, yet the biodiversity and ecosystem functions provided by these communities remain under-appreciated. To better understand the microbial processes and ...

Viral Metagenomic Content Reflects Seawater Ecological Quality in the Coastal Zone

Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Viruses interfere with their host's metabolism through the expression of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that, until now, are mostly studied under large physicochemical gradients. Here, we focus on coastal marine ecosystems and we sequence the viral metag ...

Interpretable Scenicness from Sentinel-2 Imagery

Devis Tuia, Sylvain Lobry, Alex Hubertus Levering

Landscape aesthetics, or scenicness, has been identified as an important ecosystem service that contribute to human health and well-being. Currently there are no methods to inventorize landscape scenicness on a large scale. In this paper we study how to up ...

Innovators in Urban China: Makerspaces and Marginality with Impact

Monique Stéphanie Bolli

In China, the emergence of makerspaces, hackerspaces, Fab Labs, and innovation labs reflects top-down and bottom-up dynamics. The grassroots movements and governmental efforts promoting innovation and creativity are part of the maker trend linked to the ri ...

Historical dynamics of ecosystem services and land management policies in Switzerland

Jérôme Chenal, Martí Bosch Padrós, Stéphanie Aline Hasler, Rémi Jaligot

Ecosystem services (ES) are dynamic over space and time. Understanding and quantifying spatio-temporal trade-offs and synergies among multiples ES, as well identifying the drivers of change provides an opportunity to make the link between ecosystems, polic ...

Cultural ecosystem services provision in response to urbanization in Cameroon

Jérôme Chenal, Armel Firmin Kemajou Mbianda, Rémi Jaligot

In Africa, cities are unable to accommodate population growth within their current administrative limits, putting pressure on ecosystem services (ES) in peripheral areas. Existing ES related studies in the region were conducted in East and South Africa, an ...

Environmental heterogeneity promotes spatial resilience of phototrophic biofilms in streambeds

Andrea Rinaldo, Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Enrico Bertuzzo, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

The loss of environmental heterogeneity threatens biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. It is therefore important to understand the relationship between environmental heterogeneity and spatial resilience as the capacity of ecological communities embedded ...
