Using land-use history and multiple baselines to determine bird responses to cocoa agroforestry. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Agroforests can play an important role in biodiversity conservation in complex landscapes. A key factor distinguishing among agroforests is land‐use history – whether agroforests are established inside forests or on historically forested but currently open lands.

Effectiveness of protected areas in the Caucasus Mountains in preventing rangeland degradation. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract As land use intensifies globally, it increasingly exerts pressure on protected areas. Despite open, nonforested landscapes comprising up to 40% of protected areas globally, assessments have predominately focused on forests, overlooking the major pressures on rangelands from livestock overgrazing and land conversion.

Exploring the formation of public acceptability of biodiversity offsetting in Finland. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
ABSTRACT Public acceptance of nature conservation instruments is critical for their effective and fair implementation. Understanding conservation governance as a rational activity aligns with the view that citizens base their judgments of conservation instruments on a critical evaluation of the anticipated ecological, economic, and social impacts ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Ectomycorrhizal fungi play essential roles in nitrogen cycling and plant nutrient uptake at high latitudes. However, they have disproportionately been studied in boreal forests dominated by evergreen conifers. We characterized ectomycorrhizal associations and the nitrogen economy of co‐occurring deciduous and evergreen angiosperms from the genus ...

Difference in the net value of ecological services between natural and artificial forests in China. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2019
Abstract Land degradation is a global problem that seriously threatens human society. However, in China and elsewhere, ecological restoration still largely relies on a traditional approach that focuses only on ecological factors and ignores socioeconomic factors.

Human land‐use changes the diets of sympatric native and invasive mammal species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
We simultaneously study the diet of nine native and two invasive mammal species inhabiting three different anthropogenic land‐uses across six bioclimatic regions using environmental DNA and stable isotope analysis. We show that land‐use influences the trophic relationships in invaded communities.

Modelling habitat suitability for a potential flagship species, the hooded capuchin, of the Paraguayan Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 3, July–September 2022., 2022
The hooded capuchin in the Paraguayan Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest is a forest obligate species and avoids crop fields. The monkeys are less likely to be found in degraded areas even if they are still forested. As Paraguayan deforestation involves the creation of large crop fields separating BAAPA fragments, the probability that the hooded capuchin can

Identifying the possibilities and pitfalls of conducting IUCN Red List assessments from remotely sensed habitat information based on insights from poorly known Cuban mammals

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1598-1614, October 2021., 2021
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species (RLS) is the key global tool for objective, repeatable assessment of species’ extinction risk status, and plays an essential role in tracking biodiversity loss and guiding conservation action.

Dinámica del agua en suelos sometidos a descompactación [PDF]

, 2016
La intensificación agrícola en ocasiones genera degradación física del suelo, pudiendo incluir compactación (Elliott et al., 1977; Botta et. al., 2004; Grosso et al., 2014), disminución de la infiltración del agua de lluvia y reducción de la porosidad ...
