Aim The term relict refers to a formerly widespread species currently occurring in refugia that
provide a persistent combination of specific ecological conditions. In peatlands, direct …

The abundance and species composition in the seed-bank and extant vegetation were
investigated in a lakeshore wetland. The seed-bank in different layers at 5 cm intervals was …

The long-term survival of relict populations depends on the accessibility of appropriate sites
(microrefugia). In recent times, due to the mass extinction of rare species that has resulted …

Background: The distribution of refugial habitats is the main factor affecting the existence of
cold-adapted species in the lowlands. In addition, regional climatic conditions could have an …

This paper describes a new bio-indicator method for assessing wetland ecosystem health;
as such, the study is particularly relevant to current legislation such as the EU Water …

In this study, CSR strategies, biological diversity and water traits were evaluated in three
lagoon lakes (Liman, Cernek and Balık) which had different nutrient status in the Central …

Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) approaches, combined
with ground truthing, are providing new tools for advanced ecosystem management, by …

This study investigated the response of freshwater wetland vegetation to hydrological driving
factors by assessing collective vegetation variables, traits of dominant plant populations and …

This study was carried out on four plant species in wetland and disturbed habitats within the
terrestrial ecosystem. The study compares some leaf traits (foliar nitrogen and phosphorus …

Species abundance is believed to be connected with geographical distribution and to
decrease from central towards marginal parts of the distribution range. We investigated the …
