Publications and professional contributions
Research themes behind FutureGrounds.
Selected work from Bjarke Madsen's research and collaborations informs the questions FutureGrounds takes into practice. Publications are grouped by theme, with the newest work first within each theme. Research articles, reports, datasets, conference contributions and dissertations are labelled separately; this is a scientific foundation, not in itself evidence of results from FutureGrounds projects.
Vegetation dynamics and nature restoration
Repeated observations and knowledge of natural processes help us investigate development as well as current condition. These contributions range from resurveyed vegetation plots to grazing and the systematic mapping of evidence.
Development of grassland plant diversity and composition through eight years of experimentally managed access of large herbivores
Madsen, B., Treier, U.A. & Normand, S. ARPHA Conference Abstracts 8: e155096.
ReSurveyEurope: A database of resurveyed vegetation plots in Europe
Knollová, I., Chytrý, M., Bruelheide, H. et al. Journal of Vegetation Science 35: e13235.
Remote sensing and field ecology
How can remote sensing and field ecology complement each other? Research on drone-based LiDAR, vegetation structure and alternative data sources connects plant observations with landscape change. The PhD thesis brings together the foundations in vegetation dynamics and close-range remote sensing.
Alternative data sources in the monitoring of Danish habitat types
Moeslund, J.E., Nygaard, B., Normand, S. & Madsen, B. DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, no. 458.
Understanding grassland plant diversity dynamics using close-range remote sensing
Madsen, B. Aarhus University, 145 pages.
The thesis connects vegetation ecology with close-range remote sensing and provides a central scientific foundation for FutureGrounds.
Detecting shrub encroachment in seminatural grasslands using UAS LiDAR
Madsen, B., Treier, U.A., Zlinszky, A., Lucieer, A. & Normand, S. Ecology and Evolution 10, 4876-4902.
Biodiversity, variation and conservation
Biodiversity encompasses several levels of variation. Collaborations on plant populations, genetic diversity and environmental microbiomes contribute to a broader view of what is observed and which aspects of nature a dataset represents.
Genetic diversity within and among wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) populations in the Nordic countries
Dalling, M., Goodman, C., Bjureke, K. et al. Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution 73, 287.
Examines variation within and among wild strawberry populations and the importance of sampling for conservation priorities.
