Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

‘Should’ and ‘can’ active restoration be used in biodiversity offsets? Stakeholder perspectives from New South Wales, Australia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite their controversial nature, biodiversity offsets are often used as a regulatory tool to counterbalance the impacts of land clearing on biodiversity. Offsets usually aim to achieve no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity through protection and/or restoration of habitat.

Managing the margins: Practitioner perspectives on barriers and solutions for biodiversity‐friendly roadside management in Germany

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Roadsides can provide habitats, refuges and corridors for various plant and insect species. Preserving and enhancing these ecosystems can mitigate biodiversity loss and improve connectivity in fragmented landscapes. Despite growing evidence supporting biodiversity‐friendly management strategies, large‐scale implementation has not been realized.
