Continental‐wide prioritization of protected areas to address global and habitat‐specific goals for avian biodiversity conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas.

Contribution of privately protected areas to the conservation of a threatened woodland bird community

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Legally protecting areas of habitat is a common action for the conservation of threatened species and communities. However, protection on public land alone is inadequate to conserve many species and ecosystems. The inclusion of privately protected areas within the protected area network provides one mechanism to address this shortfall.

Biodiversity conservation through land sparing or sharing: A review

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The expansion and intensification of agriculture to meet global food demands presents a major challenge for biodiversity conservation, and the land sharing–land sparing (LSLS) framework has been proposed as a way to balance agricultural production with biodiversity conservation.

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.
