Soil Seed Bank Holds Some Potential for Natural Regeneration in a Semi‐Arid Rangeland

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural regeneration of degraded lands can be facilitated by the recruitment of plant species from the soil seed bank. However, the composition of soil seed banks in arid Australia has seldom been studied. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying the soil seed bank of chenopod shrubland and remnant Acacia aneura (mulga) stands in an ex ...

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

Connecting and coordinating conservation action across landscapes through regional planning processes and syntheses

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Midwest Conservation Blueprint is a basemap of priority lands and waters for conservation, reflecting a diverse set of 20+ social and environmental values. Its purpose is to help coordinate voluntary conservation actions and investments across a broad scale.

Defining ecologically realistic biodiversity offset multipliers with the response‐based habitat hectare assessment of biodiversity gains (REHAB)

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biodiversity offsetting should be based on adequately large multipliers to deliver no net loss or a net gain for biodiversity, yet the multipliers are often applied without quantitative assessment of the ecological outcomes of offset actions. Here, we show how ecologically realistic offset multipliers were defined based on ecological response estimates
