AB  - Lichen specific metabolites (LSMs) have interesting biological activities and quantitative variations may be present intraspecifically. For example, variations in medullary fumarprotocetraric acid (FA) and cortical usnic acid (UA) were observed in the lichen Cladonia foliacea , but the mechanism of variation is not well understood. The current study aimed to characterise the quantitative variation of FA and UA and to investigate the association between lichen metabolite content and ecological / biological variables. Fungal and algal trees were constructed using fungal (nrITS, RPB2) and algal (nrITS) loci, respectively. Using a chiral chromatographic method, the contents of (-)-UA were determined in 29 C. foliacea specimens and range from 6.88 to 34.27 mg/g dry wt. The FA contents were lower and varied from 1.44 to 9.87 mg/g dry wt. Although the fungal tree showed two well resolved clades, no significant differences of UA or FA contents were found between the two fungal clades. However, a significantly higher UA/FA ratio as well as a unique habitat were found to be associated with specimens which contained the alga Asterochloris lobophora than those specimens associated other Asterochloris algae. Taking all predictive variables into account (i.e. substrate type, elevation, collection season, photobiont identity), the multivariate data analysis indicated that photobiont identity explained most of the variance of LSM contents in C. foliacea . Thus future LSM biosynthetic studies should take the photobiont into consideration when dealing with intraspecific quantitative variation.

AB  - Increasing human activity is altering the structure of forests, which affects the composition of communities, including birds. However, little is known about the key forest structure variables that determine the richness of bird communities in European temperate oak forests. We, therefore, aimed to identify key variables in these habitats that could contribute to the design of management strategies for forest conservation by surveying 11 oak-dominated forest sites throughout the mid-mountain range of Hungary at 86 survey points to reveal the role of different compositional and structural variables for forest stands that influence the breeding bird assemblages in the forests at the functional group and individual species levels. Based on decision tree modelling, our results showed that the density of trees larger than 30 cm DBH was an overall important variable, indicating that large-diameter trees were essential to provide diverse bird communities. The total abundance of birds, the foliage-gleaners, primary and secondary cavity nesters, residents, and five specific bird species were related to the density of high trunk diameter trees. The abundance of shrub nesters was negatively influenced by a high density of trees over 10 cm DBH. The density of the shrub layer positively affected total bird abundance and the abundance of foliage gleaners, secondary cavity nesters and residents. Analysis of the co-dominant tree species showed that the presence of linden, beech, and hornbeam was important in influencing the abundance of various bird species, e.g., Eurasian Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris), Marsh Tit (Poecile palustris) and Wood Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix). Our results indicated that large trees, high tree diversity, and dense shrub layer were essential for forest bird communities and are critical targets for protection to maintain diverse and abundant bird communities in oak-dominated forest habitats.

AB  - River re-naturalisations are at the forefront of conservation efforts. The hope is that these interventions will benefit both local ecosystems and facilitate flood mitigation. While hydrological modelling has been a standard procedure in assessing the outcomes of river re-naturalisations, vegetation modelling has not always been performed as part of these assessments. We hypothesised that the use of potential vegetation modelling, i.e. the modelling of self-sustainable vegetation that can survive after the intervention, can provide insight into vegetation outcome of river re-naturalisation and can thus support vegetation restoration and conservation planning. We investigated the utility of potential vegetation modelling under a specific, widespread element of river re-naturalisation: river floodplain widening at three study sites along the Tisza River in Hungary. We applied potential vegetation modelling, in addition to hydrological and groundwater modelling, to assess the expected vegetation outcome of the river floodplain widening. Flood frequency and duration were assessed by the HEC-RAS hydrological model. Based on the output this hydrological model provided, expected values of the water-related explanatory variables (including groundwater level) were calculated. Statistical relationships encompassed by the existing mulitple potential vegetation (MPV) models of Hungary were applied to the environmental variable sets corresponding to conditions before and after floodplain widening (pre- and post-treatment, respectively), including water-related and other explanatory variables. This resulted in predicted potential vegetation distribution for pre-treatment and post-treatment conditions, which were then compared via ordinations and PERMANOVA. At two of the study sites, post-treatment potential vegetation prediction typically showed vegetation types requiring wetter and less saline conditions when compared to the pre-treatment potential vegetation distribution. This pattern corresponds to general expectations given river floodplain widening. However, at one of the sites, the potentiality of saline and non-saline steppe vegetation was actually more pronounced under the expected post-treatment conditions than those before widening. The strengthening of the potentiality of dry vegetation types can be explained by the minor environmental differences related to the microrelief. As the studied sites were all located in the lowlands where geomorphological variation is small, the effect of these minor geomorphological differences on post-treatment potential vegetation would have remained hidden without applying MPV models. In conclusion, scenarios that employ MPV models help predict river restoration outcomes more accurately and can help identify factors that might otherwise be overlooked. Thus, when combined with physical modelling of river flow, their use can aid in the restoration and landscape planning decisions in river re-naturalisation projects.
