The present study analysed the outlook for long-term conservation, within the framework of sustainable forest management, of the Belgian Gagea (Gagea spathacea), a species for which Germany has a special responsibility. We conducted autecological and population ecological experiments in different forest communities in northern Germany. Soil nitrogen supply and soil moisture positively affected leaf length and flower formation of the plants as well as their potential to form bulbils. Light availability only had a positive effect on flower formation. Population density appears to be primarily determined by the ecological continuity of a forest site. Transplant experiments showed that even in forests with optimal site conditions, the reintroduction of the species failed to a large extent. Thus, conservation measures should primarily aim at preservingthe existing populations. This holds particularly for moist forests (Alno-Ulmion), as the species grows most vigorously there and develops largepopulations. Given that lowland moist forests harbour an extraordinarily high biodiversity, action taken to conserve G. spathacea may at thesame time contribute to the protection of many other habitat-specific forest species. Die Studie untersuchte die Perspektiven für den Schutz der bundesdeutschen Verantwortungsart Scheidiger Gelbstern (Gagea spathacea) im Rahmen einer nachhaltigen Waldbewirtschaftung. Hierzu wurden autökologische und populationsbiologische Untersuchungen in verschiedenen Wäldern Norddeutschlands durchgeführt. Das Stickstoff-Angebot im Boden und die Bodenfeuchte beeinflussten positiv die Blattlänge und die Blütenbildung der Art und ihr Potenzial Tochterzwiebeln zu bilden. Ein höheres Lichtangebot führte lediglich zu einer vermehrten Blütenbildung. Die Populationsdichte wird in erster Linie offenbar vom Alter eines Waldstandorts beeinflusst. Verpflanzungsexperimente zeigten, dass eine Neuansiedlung der Art selbst in Wäldern mit optimalen Standortbedingungen schwierig ist. Schutzmaßnahmen sollten daher in erster Linie auf eine Erhaltung der bestehenden Populationen abzielen. Dabei spielen Feuchtwälder (Alno-Ulmion) eine besondere Rolle, da G. spathacea in diesen Waldgesellschaften besonders vital ist und große Populationen aufweist. Da Feuchtwälder im Tiefland sehr artenreich sind, kann mit einem Schutz von G. spathacea zugleich der Schutz vieler weiterer lebensraumtypischer Waldarten erreicht werden.

Browsing of tree saplings by deer hampers forest regeneration in mixed forests across Europe and North America. It is well known that tree species are differentially affected by deer browsing, but little is known about how different facets of diversity, such as species richness, identity, and composition, affect browsing intensity at different spatial scales. Using forest inventory data from the Hainich National Park, a mixed deciduous forest in central Germany, we applied a hierarchical approach to model the browsing probability of patches (regional scale) as well as the species‐specific proportion of saplings browsed within patches (patch scale). We found that, at the regional scale, the probability that a patch was browsed increased with certain species composition, namely with low abundance of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and high abundance of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), whereas at the patch scale, the proportion of saplings browsed per species was mainly determined by the species’ identity, providing a “preference ranking” of the 11 tree species under study. Interestingly, at the regional scale, species‐rich patches were more likely to be browsed; however, at the patch scale, species‐rich patches showed a lower proportion of saplings per species browsed. Presumably, diverse patches attract deer, but satisfy nutritional needs faster, such that fewer saplings need to be browsed. Some forest stand parameters, such as more open canopies, increased the browsing intensity at either scale. By showing the effects that various facets of diversity, as well as environmental parameters, exerted on browsing intensity at the regional as well as patch scale, our study advances the understanding of mammalian herbivore–plant interactions across scales. Our results also indicate which regeneration patches and species are (least) prone to browsing and show the importance of different facets of diversity for the prediction and management of browsing intensity and regeneration dynamics.

- Abstract
Humans require multiple services from ecosystems, but it is largely unknown whether trade-offs between ecosystem functions prevent the realisation of high ecosystem multifunctionality across spatial scales. Here, we combined a comprehensive dataset (28 ecosystem functions measured on 209 forest plots) with a forest inventory dataset (105,316 plots) to extrapolate and map relationships between various ecosystem multifunctionality measures across Europe. These multifunctionality measures reflected different management objectives, related to timber production, climate regulation and biodiversity conservation/recreation. We found that trade-offs among them were rare across Europe, at both local and continental scales. This suggests a high potential for ‘win-win’ forest management strategies, where overall multifunctionality is maximised. However, across sites, multifunctionality was on average 45.8-49.8% below maximum levels and not necessarily highest in protected areas. Therefore, using one of the most comprehensive assessments so far, our study suggests a high but largely unrealised potential for management to promote multifunctional forests.

- Abstract
The importance of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem functioning is generally well accepted. However, most evidence comes from small-scale studies, and scaling-up patterns of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (B-EF) remains challenging, in part because the importance of environmental factors in shaping B-EF relations is poorly understood. Using a forest research platform in which 26 ecosystem functions were measured along gradients of tree species richness in six regions across Europe, we investigated the extent and the potential drivers of context dependency of B-EF relations. Despite considerable variation in species richness effects across the continent, we found a tendency for stronger B-EF relations in drier climates as well as in areas with longer growing seasons and more functionally diverse tree species. The importance of water availability in driving context dependency suggests that as water limitation increases under climate change, biodiversity may become even more important to support high levels of functioning in European forests.

However, most evidence comes from small-scale studies, and scaling-up patterns of biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (B-EF) remains challenging, in part because the importance of environmental factors in shaping B-EF relations is poorly understood. Using a forest research platform in which 26 ecosystem functions were measured along gradients of tree species richness in six regions across Europe, we investigated the extent and the potential drivers of context dependency of B-EF relations. Despite considerable variation in species richness effects across the continent, we found a tendency for stronger B-EF relations in drier climates as well as in areas with longer growing seasons and more functionally diverse tree species. The importance of water availability in driving context dependency suggests that as water limitation increases under climate change, biodiversity may become even more important to support high levels of functioning in European forests.

2. Zero hunger ,15. Life on land ,580 Plants (Botany) - Abstract
Humans require multiple services from ecosystems, but it is largely unknown whether trade-offs between ecosystem functions prevent the realisation of high ecosystem multifunctionality across spatial scales. Here, we combined a comprehensive dataset (28 ecosystem functions measured on 209 forest plots) with a forest inventory dataset (105,316 plots) to extrapolate and map relationships between various ecosystem multifunctionality measures across Europe. These multifunctionality measures reflected different management objectives, related to timber production, climate regulation and biodiversity conservation/recreation. We found that trade-offs among them were rare across Europe, at both local and continental scales. This suggests a high potential for ‘win-win’ forest management strategies, where overall multifunctionality is maximised. However, across sites, multifunctionality was on average 45.8-49.8 below maximum levels and not necessarily highest in protected areas. Therefore, using one of the most comprehensive assessments so far, our study suggests a high but largely unrealised potential for management to promote multifunctional forests.
