The project takes place in intensively cultivated areas, in biotopes of high conservation value, as well as in semi-natural habitats characterized by high fragmentation. The aim is the description and modeling of factors influencing the levels of specific biodiversity, with particular reference to the component of saproxylic organisms in primary and fragmented forests. In addition, networking activities will be carried out on the integration of biodiversity management experience in European ricefield habitats.

Please note that the full description may be available in the national language since some job boards have their own publication policy. Thank you for your understanding!
