|
|
Modeling
spatio-temporal effect of environmental changes on biodiversity across taxa,
trophic guilds, biomes, and types of stressors

composition, and ecosystem function and underlying services
|
|
|
Model organisms: several animal groups (mainly arthropods) and plants

|
|
Model processes and stressors: changes of forest fire regime; changes of
traditional management practices in forests, meadows and pastures;
urbanization; invasion by alien species
