Combined effects of topography, soil moisture, and snow cover regimes on growth responses of grasslands in a low- mountain range (Vosges, France) by P.-A. Herrault, A. Ullmann, D. Ertlen

“…<p>Growth responses of low-mountain grasslands to climate warming are poorly understood despite very large surfaces being covered in central Europe. These grasslands are characterized by still-present agricultural exploitation and complex topographical features that limit species migration and increase differences in snow regimes. …”

Multi‐Model Assessment of Groundwater Recharge Across Europe Under Warming Climate by Rohini Kumar, Luis Samaniego, Stephan Thober, Oldrich Rakovec, Andreas Marx, Niko Wanders, Ming Pan, Falk Hesse, Sabine Attinger

“…Results reveal a north‐south polarization in projected groundwater recharge change: declines over 25%–50% in the Mediterranean and increases over 25% in North Scandinavia at high warming levels (2.0–3.0 K). Central Europe shows minimal changes (±5%) with larger uncertainty at lower warming levels. …”

Accounting for observation biases associated with counts of young when estimating fecundity: case study on the arboreal-nesting red kite (Milvus milvus) by Sollmann, Rahel, Adenot, Nathalie, Spakovszky, Peter, Windt, Jendrik, Mattsson, Brady J.

“…We use a simulation study to investigate bias and precision of the model and parameterize the simulation with empirical data from 26 red kite nests visited with ground and nest-based counts during 2021 and 2022 in central Europe. In these data, bias in counts was at most 1 in either direction, more common in larger broods, and undercounting was more common than overcounting. …”
