🏔️Plant communities along Swiss mountain roads are warming: species are shifting upslope, but low cover of gained and lost species masks the species turnover. Presence-only models reveal clear thermophilization signal in just 10 years🧪🌎

Two narratives ‘FOR’ and ‘SEPARATE-out of conviction’ we encountered almost exclusively in NL, and there we encountered them quite often. The remaining 4 we encountered in both the Dutch & Massif Central areas, in different proportions & with strong region-specific details

In this paper doi.org/10.1002/pan3... we describe 6 narratives of the relationship between the way of farming and biodiversity

✅ We highlight the commonalities and differences we encountered across areas (NL v. F) and discuss how such insights can help foster more empathetic engagement with farmers
