Land‐use in Europe affects land snail assemblages directly and indirectly by modulating abiotic and biotic drivers

Abstract Type and intensity of land‐use vary in space and time and strongly contribute to changes in richness and composition of species communities. In this study, we examined land snail communities in forests and grasslands in three regions of Germany. We aimed to quantify the extent to which snai...
