The choice of constituent species for habitat-specific indicators often reflects context-specific knowledge, policy needs and data availability. This makes direct comparisons of equivalent indicators across various locations challenging, and potentially reduces their representativeness if subsequently applied to other locations or spatial scales. In recognition of this, there is growing demand to develop standardised approaches to species selection that produce more spatially comparable MSIs. Using forest bird species in Europe, we use an objective, niche-based framework for indicator species selection to derive standardised indices at national, regional and pan-European scales, and explore the implications for species composition on indicator trends when adopting three alternative species-selection strategies: selecting species representative of a given spatial scale (“geographically-targeted”), disaggregating a species set representative of a broad-scale for use at smaller scales (“top-down”) and aggregating species lists representative of smaller scales for use at larger scales (“bottom-up”). We show that although the composition of indicator sets varied according to the species’ selection approach, resultant index trends for a given location were generally comparable. However, “geographically-targeted” indicators tended to be comprised of more specialist species and were more representative of the wider community. Whilst existing biodiversity indices provide critical insights into the state of nature across spatial scales, our study provides the basis for the development of complementary, standardised indicators that are spatially comparable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11459,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Indicators","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 113327"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143593884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore spatial structure in soil properties and microtopography as indicators of ecosystem homogenisation, we collected ∼200 georeferenced soil samples from a near-natural alkaline fen and a degraded counterpart. Variogram analysis revealed distinct spatial structures in peat properties according to ecosystem status. The degraded fen exhibited longer autocorrelation ranges for soil organic matter (SOM), moisture, carbonate content, and surface microelevation, suggesting higher homogeneity compared to the near-natural fen. In addition, higher SOM was associated with higher surface microelevation and moisture content at both sites, highlighting the role of peat accumulation in shaping microtopography. The relationship between soil properties and microelevation showed stronger association and greater non-linearity in the near-intact fen compared to the degraded one. The variogram range appears to be a useful indicator of ecosystem status and homogeneity, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of fen degradation and restoration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11459,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Indicators","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 113317"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143628526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the MAL demand maps were drawn based on the “P-E-F” framework. Secondly, a multiscale analysis was conducted based on the MAL demand maps and their hotspot maps. Finally, we comprehensively analyzed the demand variations among land use types and agricultural functions to explore more precise information. The key findings are that 1) despite high MAL demand was generally concentrated near the downtown, some remote rural areas were also characterized by significant demand for cultural function; 2) compared to that of ecological and cultural functions, the production demand was less scale-dependent with a more aggregated distribution pattern; 3) agricultural land with compounding demand was clustered in the plains adjacent to cities, and hotspots of MAL demand in remote mountains were less frequently observed; 4) demand level for paddy field was outstanding among other agricultural land use types. We argue that regionally differentiated utilization and management of agricultural land are necessary from a sustainable development perspective.

The CCD was higher in downstream, with the system layer exceeding the subsystem layer.

Within these ecosystems, planktonic microorganisms drive nutrient cycling and energy transfer in aquatic food webs. Due to their rapid response to environmental fluctuations, microbial communities serve as indicators of ecosystem change. In stratified lakes, thermal layering restricts energy and nutrient exchange, creating distinct microbial niches across depths. Microbial communities can be classified into free-living (FL) and particle-associated (PA) bacteria, which exhibit divergent metabolic strategies and responses to environmental change. Ecological theory suggests that PA bacteria are more influenced by deterministic factors (e.g., nutrient availability, oxygen gradients), whereas FL bacteria experience greater stochasticity (e.g., ecological drift). However, the stability and assembly mechanisms of these microbial fractions in dynamic lake environments remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed FL and PA bacterial communities in four karstic lakes in Croatia over two years, capturing both stratified and mixed conditions. Our results revealed that stratification and mixing events drove distinct microbial distribution patterns, with environmental gradients shaping niche partitioning between FL and PA bacteria. Contrary to the ecological theory, deterministic processes dominated community assembly in all lakes and fractions, though stochastic processes played a role, particularly in PA communities. Lakes with more stable conditions, such as Plitvice Lakes, exhibited resilient microbial networks, while more dynamic environments, like Baćina Lakes, supported less stable communities. In Lake Crniševo, seasonal salinity fluctuations created strong selection pressures, contributing to community divergence over time. These findings underscore the importance of environmental drivers in shaping microbial assembly and stability, highlighting the distinct ecological roles of FL and PA bacteria. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting microbial responses to environmental change and enhancing biomonitoring strategies for freshwater ecosystem management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11459,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Indicators","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 113324"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143577180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
