Death and mourning -that is probably the general population's predominant association with cemeteries. However, they equally provide a habitat for a diverse range of animal, plant, and fungal inhabitants. The cooperation of the Austrian Citizen Science projects Stadtwildtiere and Biodiversität am Friedhof (BaF) have been documenting species at native resting places since 2021. With a total of 57 cemeteries in the city of Vienna alone, the active research area spans an enormous and therefore significant distance for biodiversity research in urban environments. Thanks to the cooperation of the public, including citizen scientists, numerous reports are available that even document previously undiscovered creatures in the cemetery areas opening up a multitude of avenues for nature conservation measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
