Here we provide a review of the type of areas that nations need to prioritise when implementing Target 3 that relates to area ‘quality’: areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, are effectively conserved and managed through ecologically representative, well‐connected and equitably governed systems.

Retaining natural vegetation to safeguard biodiversity and humanity
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 ...

Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Abstract Urban greenspace provides citizens with important cultural ecosystem services (CES). Identifying landscape features and land use contexts that facilitate CES delivery is critical for guiding urban greenspace management. However, how landscape features and urban context interact with each other in influencing the CES of greenspaces remains ...

Abstract Conservation science needs more high‐quality impact evaluations, especially ones that explore mechanisms of success or failure. Randomized control trials (RCTs) provide particularly robust evidence of the effectiveness of interventions (although they have been criticized as reductionist and unable to provide insights into mechanisms), but ...

Understanding mass public support for health systems and welfare polices is required in order to safeguard the legitimacy of democratic governance of the welfare state. If policies to meet dissatisfaction go unnoticed, the whole idea of responsive democracy is in vain.

基于InVEST模型的渭河流域干支流生态系统服务时空演变特征分析
渭河作为黄河的最大支流,是生态保护建成区重点之一,对其生态系统服务研究有利于实现流域内高质量发展和生态保护之间的平衡关系,保持流域生态系统服务功能,促进流域生态系统恢复。基于InVEST模型分析渭河流域2000—2018年5期土地利用和干支流生态系统服务时空动态变化,采用相关性分析水源涵养、土壤保持和生物多样性之间的权衡和协同。结果表明:19年间,研究区土地利用情况主要以耕地、草地和林地为主,占总面积的95%以上。流域内水源涵养呈现"先上升后下降"趋势,平均栅格单元产水量542.9 mm ...

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...
