The role of agri-environment schemes in conservation and environmental management. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2015
Abstract Over half of the European landscape is under agricultural management and has been for millennia. Many species and ecosystems of conservation concern in Europe depend on agricultural management and are showing ongoing declines. Agri‐environment schemes (AES) are designed partly to address this.

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Role of forest edges and other seminatural linear landscape features in structuring wild bee habitat connectivity in intensively managed landscapes. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Pollinator conservation schemes typically focus on conserving existing, restoring degraded, or creating new wild bee habitats. Their effectiveness depends on dispersal corridors enabling habitat colonization by bees. However, the role of seminatural linear landscape structures (LLS) in connecting pollinator communities across intensively ...

Impacto de sistemas de manejo de pastizales sobre la calidad del suelo en agroecosistemas degradados.

Agrisost, 2012
La agricultura es, tal vez, en la actualidad, la actividad antropogénica que más perjudica de forma directa e indirecta, tanto en extensión como en temporalidad, al suelo, y, sin embargo, es la actividad con menores restricciones normativas.

Sensitivity of tropical montane birds to anthropogenic disturbance and management strategies for their conservation in agricultural landscapes

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Tropical montane bird communities are hypothesized to be highly sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance because species are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions and display high rates of endemism. We assessed avian sensitivity at regional and continental scales for a global epicenter of montane bird biodiversity, the tropical ...

Insights from experiences comanaging woody invasive alien plants in Argentina

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 4, October–December 2023., 2023
The complexities of invasive alien species (IAS) management call for a close collaboration among stakeholders to comanage effective solutions. Based on a SWOT analysis, we identified personal motivations as the main force that helps to overcome barriers to to IAS comanagement in Argentina. We recommend the development of spaces to share experiences and

Evaluating the potential of biodiversity offsets to achieve net gain

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Evaluating the outcomes and tracking the trajectory of biodiversity offsets is essential to demonstrating their effectiveness as a mechanism to conciliate development and conservation. We reviewed the literature to determine the principles that should underpin biodiversity offset planning and the criteria for offset evaluation at the project ...
