Whether temporal responses of community properties to current environmental changes are altered by such legacies is, however, unknown. We expect global environmental changes to interact with land-use legacies given different community trajectories initiated by prior management, and subsequent responses to altered resources and conditions. We tested this expectation for species richness and functional traits using 1814 survey-resurvey plot pairs of understorey communities from 40 European temperate forest datasets, syntheses of management transitions since the year 1800, and a trait database. We also examined how plant community indicators of resources and conditions changed in response to management legacies and environmental change. Community trajectories were clearly influenced by interactions between management legacies from over 200years ago and environmental change. Importantly, higher rates of nitrogen deposition led to increased species richness and plant height in forests managed less intensively in 1800 (i.e., high forests), and to decreases in forests with a more intensive historical management in 1800 (i.e., coppiced forests). There was evidence that these declines in community variables in formerly coppiced forests were ameliorated by increased rates of temperature change between surveys. Responses were generally apparent regardless of sites' contemporary management classifications, although sometimes the management transition itself, rather than historic or contemporary management types, better explained understorey responses. Main effects of environmental change were rare, although higher rates of precipitation change increased plant height, accompanied by increases in fertility indicator values. Analysis of indicator values suggested the importance of directly characterising resources and conditions to better understand legacy and environmental change effects. Accounting for legacies of past disturbance can reconcile contradictory literature results and appears crucial to anticipating future responses to global environmental change.}, keywords = {climate change; Species richness; time lag; UNDERSTOREY VEGETATION; Management intensity; NITROGEN DEPOSITION; LIFE-HISTORY TRAITS; Ecosystem processes; TEMPERATE DECIDUOUS FORESTS; Disturbance regime; BIODIVERSITY CHANGE; HERBACEOUS LAYER; forestREplot; atmospheric nitrogen deposition; Spatial configuration; LAND-USE LEGACIES; HERB-LAYER CHANGES; WITH-STANDARDS FOREST; vegetation resurvey; plant functional traits}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1365-2486}, pages = {1722-1740}, orcid-numbers = {Standovár, Tibor/0000-0002-4686-3456} } @article{MTMT:3198950, title = {Combining Biodiversity Resurveys across Regions to Advance Global Change Research}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3198950}, author = {Verheyen, K and De Frenne, P and Baeten, L and Waller, DM and Hedl, R and Perring, MP and Blondeel, H and Brunet, J and Chudomelova, M and Decocq, G and De Lombaerde, E and Depauw, L and Dirnbock, T and Durak, T and Eriksson, O and Gilliam, FS and Heinken, T and Heinrichs, S and Hermy, M and Jaroszewicz, B and Jenkins, MA and Johnson, SE and Kirby, KJ and Kopecky, M and Landuyt, D and Lenoir, J and Li, DJ and Macek, M and Maes, SL and Malis, F and Mitchell, FJG and Naaf, T and Peterken, G and Petrik, P and Reczynska, K and Rogers, DA and Schei, FH and Schmidt, W and Standovár, Tibor and Swierkosz, K and Ujhazy, K and Van, Calster H and Vellend, M and Vild, O and Woods, K and Wulf, M and Bernhardt-Romermann, M}, doi = {10.1093/biosci/biw150}, journal-iso = {BIOSCIENCE}, journal = {BIOSCIENCE}, volume = {67}, unique-id = {3198950}, issn = {0006-3568}, abstract = {More and more ecologists have started to resurvey communities sampled in earlier decades to determine long-term shifts in community composition and infer the likely drivers of the ecological changes observed. However, to assess the relative importance of and interactions among multiple drivers, joint analyses of resurvey data from many regions spanning large environmental gradients are needed. In this article, we illustrate how combining resurvey data from multiple regions can increase the likelihood of driver orthogonality within the design and show that repeatedly surveying across multiple regions provides higher representativeness and comprehensiveness, allowing us to answer more completely a broader range of questions. We provide general guidelines to aid the implementation of multiregion resurvey databases. In so doing, we aim to encourage resurvey database development across other community types and biomes to advance global environmental change research.}, keywords = {LONG-TERM; land-use; Species richness; community ecology; Permanent plots; UNDERSTOREY VEGETATION; deciduous forest; NITROGEN DEPOSITION; TEMPERATE FOREST; PLANT DIVERSITY; ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH; DISTRIBUTED EXPERIMENTS; ground-layer vegetation; (quasi-)permanent plots; legacy data}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1525-3244}, pages = {72-82}, orcid-numbers = {Standovár, Tibor/0000-0002-4686-3456} } @article{MTMT:2942702, title = {Drivers of temporal changes in temperate forest plant diversity vary across spatial scales}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2942702}, author = {Bernhardt-Römermann, M and Baeten, L and Craven, D and De Frenne, P and Hédl, R and Lenoir, J and Bert, D and Brunet, J and Chudomelová, M and Decocq, G and Dierschke, H and Dirnböck, T and Dörfler, I and Heinken, T and Hermy, M and Hommel, P and Jaroszewicz, B and Keczyński, A and Kelly, DL and Kirby, KJ and Kopecký, M and Macek, M and Máliš, F and Mirtl, M and Mitchell, FJG and Naaf, T and Newman, M and Peterken, G and Petřík, P and Schmidt, W and Standovár, Tibor and Tóth, Zoltán and Calster, HV and Verstraeten, G and Vladovič, J and Vild, O and Wulf, M and Verheyen, K}, doi = {10.1111/gcb.12993}, journal-iso = {GLOBAL CHANGE BIOL}, journal = {GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY}, volume = {21}, unique-id = {2942702}, issn = {1354-1013}, year = {2015}, eissn = {1365-2486}, pages = {3726-3737}, orcid-numbers = {Standovár, Tibor/0000-0002-4686-3456; Tóth, Zoltán/0000-0002-6552-4839} }
