Retaining natural vegetation to safeguard biodiversity and humanity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Global efforts to deliver internationally agreed goals to reduce carbon emissions, halt biodiversity loss, and retain essential ecosystem services have been poorly integrated. These goals rely in part on preserving natural (e.g., native, largely unmodified) and seminatural (e.g., low intensity or sustainable human use) forests, woodlands, and ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 654-665, June 2020., 2020 Abstract The Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) strategic plan will expire in 2020, but biodiversity loss is ongoing. Scientists call for more ambitious targets in the next agreement. The nature‐needs‐half movement, for example, has advocated conserving half of Earth to solve the biodiversity crisis, which has been translated to protecting 50 ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 345-353, September 2025.Restoration of monoculture in protected and marginal areas can be organized into two phases (1) identification and prioritization of restoration sites based on remote sensing or field survey then assessing degradation level, and (2) implementation of appropriate restoration interventions.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 362-380, September 2025.Occurrences of dust storms and long‐distance movement of dust across landscapes is constantly increasing in south Asia. This dust is expected to have profound impact on vegetation health and sustainability as dust may contribute to nutrient budgets of the forest ecosystems, while it could impart various stresses to the plants.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 503-513, September 2025.Fire occurrence increased with proximity to roads and villages, indicating that human access and activity are major drivers of fire risk. We analyzed spatial patterns of fire in relation to human settlements. Our findings highlight the need for fire management strategies that consider accessibility and human presence in conservation planning.

China's Eco‐Civilisation, Climate Leviathan, and Hobbesian Energy Transition
Antipode, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 830-861, May 2025.Abstract Scholars have hitherto tended to theorise China's ecological civilisation project either as a form of environmental authoritarianism or as a vision of eco‐socialism. This paper contributes to the conversation by conducting a textual analysis of Chinese scholarly discussions on eco‐civilisation.

The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2004 通过对15°红壤坡地11个利用模式10年土壤侵蚀研究,认为红壤坡地土地利用模式中林作系统水土保持效果优于农作系统。林作系统中水土保持效果以常绿阔叶林最好,次为混交林,毛竹林和针叶林。农作系统中顺坡植物篱种植、等高梯化种植、顺坡水平沟种植水土保持效果较好。研究认为红壤坡地土地利用模式应以林作为主,尽可能发展高效的经济林。而如发展农业种植,则以顺坡植物篱种植模式最佳,次为等高梯化种植模式。
