Landscape-scale predictions of future grassland conversion to cropland or development. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Grassland conservation planning often focuses on high‐risk landscapes, but many grassland conversion models are not designed to optimize conservation planning because they lack multidimensional risk assessments and are misaligned with ecological and conservation delivery scales.

Global justice and the opportunity costs of conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Opportunity costs can represent a significant portion of the costs associated with conservation projects and frequently outstrip other kinds of cost. They are typically understood to refer to the benefits someone would have obtained if conservation projects had not required them to give up current activities, such as farming or hunting or if ...

Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree species to ...
