Functional responses of understory vegetation to ungulate exclusion in temperate forest ecosystems—a comparative trait-based approach

Abstract Key message An extensive exclosure-control experiment examining functional responses of forest understory vegetation revealed that ungulate exclusion favored plant traits associated with herbivory vulnerability and competitive ability, while ungulate access promoted rath...

Effect of Short Carbonation on Element Mobility in Wood Ash

Abstract During carbonation of wood ash, carbon dioxide reacts with alkali or alkaline earth components in the ash-forming carbonates. The impact of a short carbonation on the mobility of elements in wood ash was investigated. The aim was therefore to apply a sequential extractio...

Enabling high-resolution wildlife tracking: antenna beam-based approach including novel per-position error estimations for automated radiotelemetry systems

Abstract Background The increasing importance of wildlife movement data in ecology and conservation has fueled the development of Automated Radiotelemetry Systems (ARTS) using very-high-frequency (VHF) transmitters. To make optimal use of this data, highly precise analysis method...
