Status and Trends of European Pollinators (STEP)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
Pollinators form a key component of European biodiversity, and provide vital ecosystem services to crops and wild plants. There is growing evidence of declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in plants relying upon them. STEP will document the nature and extent of these declines, examine functional traits associated with particular risk, develop a Red List of some ...

Securing the Conservation of biodiversity across Administrative Levels and spatial, temporal, and Ecological Scales (SCALES)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
Our capacity to effectively sustain biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales is an essential component of European environmental sustainability. Anthropogenic and environmental pressures on biodiversity act differently at different scales. Consequently, effective conservation responses to these threats must explicitly consider the scale at which effects occur, and therefore it is crucial th ...

Global biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: taxonomic and functional patterns (GLOBAM)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
"The project has three objectives: (1) Describe the biodiversity patterns of Glomeromycota in plant roots in selected global biodiversity hotspots. Current information about the global biodiversity patterns indicates major gaps in several types of ecosystems and geographic regions. We will focus on two contrasting geographic ecosystems: tropical forests and deserts. Descriptive biodiversity survey ...
