Data from: An environmental impact assessment of different management regimes in eucalypt plantations in southern China using Landscape Function Analysis
<p>There are global concerns regarding the detrimental environmental impacts of industrial forest plantations developed over the past 30 years. To address this concern, the Landscape Function Analysis methodology was used to rapidly assess indices of soil stability, water infiltration, and nutrient cycling within eucalypt plantations at different growth stages and under different management regimes in Guangxi Province, China. Results showed that these plantations under both regimes were approaching an ecologically functional state by the time of harvest. However, within the plantation management that included the burning of post-harvest biomass residues, indices of water infiltration, and nutrient cycling were significantly lower than within the plantation that retained post-harvest residues. Indicators of rain splash protection, perennial vegetation cover, and litter accumulation were all lower in the plantation that practiced residue burning and pre-planting cultivation. Retention of post-harvest residues improves landscape functionality at the time of re-planting. Our results indicate that burning and extensive cultivation prior to re-planting should be minimized.</p>
Data from: Prioritizing land management efforts at a landscape scale: a case study using prescribed fire in Wisconsin
One challenge in the effort to conserve biodiversity is identifying where to prioritize resources for active land management. Cost-benefit analyses have been used successfully as a conservation tool to identify sites that provide the greatest conservation benefit per unit cost. Our goal was to apply cost-benefit analysis to the question of how to prioritize land management efforts, in our case the application of prescribed fire to natural landscapes in Wisconsin, USA. We quantified and mapped frequently burned communities, and prioritized management units based on a suite of indices that captured ecological benefits, management effort, and the feasibility of successful long-term management actions. Data for these indices came from LANDFIRE, Wisconsin's Wildlife Action Plan, and a nationwide Wildland Urban Interface assessment. We found that the majority of frequently burned vegetation types occurred in the southern portion of the state. However, the highest-priority areas for applying prescribed fire occurred in the central, northwest, and northeast portion of the state where frequently burned vegetation patches were larger and where identified areas of high biological importance area occurred. Although our focus was on the use of prescribed fire in Wisconsin, our methods can be adapted to prioritize other land management activities. Such prioritization is necessary to achieve the greatest possible benefits from limited funding for land management actions, and our results show that it is feasible at scales that are relevant for land management decisions.
Data from: Soil management shapes ecosystem service provision and trade-offs in agricultural landscapes
Agroecosystems are principally managed to maximize food provisioning even if they receive a large array of supporting and regulating ecosystem services (ESs). Hence, comprehensive studies investigating the effects of local management and landscape composition on the provision of and trade-offs between multiple ESs are urgently needed. We explored the effects of conservation tillage, nitrogen fertilization and landscape composition on six ESs (crop production, disease control, soil fertility, water quality regulation, weed and pest control) in winter cereals. Conservation tillage enhanced soil fertility and pest control, decreased water quality regulation and weed control, without affecting crop production and disease control. Fertilization only influenced crop production by increasing grain yield. Landscape intensification reduced the provision of disease and pest control. We also found tillage and landscape composition to interactively affect water quality regulation and weed control. Under N fertilization, conventional tillage resulted in more trade-offs between ESs than conservation tillage. Our results demonstrate that soil management and landscape composition affect the provision of several ESs and that soil management potentially shapes the trade-offs between them
Maintaining an open landscape: a 15-year multi-site experiment comparing seven management methods for semi-natural grasslands
<p>The data and publications presented here stems from a field trial started in Sweden ca 1972 (at one site still running in 2023). The purpose of the trial was to compare traditional management of semi-natural grasslands by grazing or annual mowing with five alternative management methods. At <strong>e</strong>leven locations in southern Sweden, block experiments were conducted evaluating seven treatments in 5 m * 20 m plots: grazing, annual mowing, annual spring burning, mowing every third year, mechanical removal of woody plants, herbicide control of woody plants, and untreated control. After approximately 13 years, trends for woody plants and species richness, and the occurrence of management-dependent plant species, low-grown species, and pollinator-attracting plant species were analysed. Overall, the annual mowing and grazing treatments resulted in fewer woody plants, the highest species richness, and more management-dependent, low-grown, and pollinator-attracting species. The untreated control plots showed the opposite effect, whereas less intense management (annual burning, mowing every third year, and mechanical and chemical treatments of woody plants) showed mixed and often intermediate effects. </p><p>On this ZENODO-page, one can find all the orginal publication, most in Swqedish.

Data set for "Overstory dynamics regulate the spatial variability in forest-floor CO2 fluxes across a managed boreal forest landscape"
<p>This data set is a compilation of forest stand characteristics, forest-floor environmental conditions, soil properties, ecosystem carbon stocks, and annual forest-floor CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes. The data set is composed by 3-year mean annual values obtained from biometric- and chamber-based flux measurements conducted during the period 2016–2018. Negative values of forest-floor CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes indicate carbon uptake and positive values indicate carbon release. Data were collected in 50 forest stands within the Krycklan Catchment Study (<a href="https://www.slu.se/Krycklan">https://www.slu.se/Krycklan</a>), a multi-scale long-term monitored boreal catchment spanning 68 km<sup>2</sup> in northern Sweden. Selected forest stands encompassed different soil types (sediment vs. till), dominant tree species (pine vs. spruce), and age classes (from initiation to old-growth stands).</p> <p>Variables, units, and definitions are found in the 1_metadata_Martínez-García_et_al._forest-floor_CO2_fluxes.xlsx file</p> <p>More details can be found in Martínez-García et al.
