Handbook of field sampling for multi-taxon biodiversity studies in European forests

摘要: The COST Action BOTTOMS-UP (CA18207: https://www. bottoms-up. eu/en/) took up the challenge to increase the degree of sustainability of European temperate forest management for biodiversity. It adopts a bottom-up approach by establishing a synergy of local research e orts to collect information on multi-taxon biodiversity, structure and management that already resulted in the most comprehensive knowledge of European multi-taxonomic forest biodiversity. Outcomes will include shared research and monitoring tools for forest biodiversity, innovative indicators for sustainable forest management (SFM) and management guidelines at the stand and landscape scale. These outcomes will improve forest management sustainability, ecosystem functioning and provisioning of services. The Action involves about 200 researchers and stakeholders from more than 30 countries and presents an outstanding opportunity …
