Network-based restoration strategies maximize ecosystem recovery
Redressing global patterns of biodiversity loss requires quantitative frameworks that can predict ecosystem collapse and inform restoration...
-
Time Scales of Ecosystem Impacts and Recovery Under Individual and Serial Invasions
The impacts of species invasions can subside over time as ecosystems ‘adapt’ and invaders decline or increase over time as additional species invade....
-
Ecosystem type might mask the effect of ecosystem recovery on parasitoids’ biodiversity quality
Ecological restoration is considered a tool for repairing anthropogenic habitat disturbances, but the biodiversity recovering needs to be monitored....

Contributions of human cultures to biodiversity and ecosystem conservation
The expansion of globalized industrial societies is causing global warming, ecosystem degradation, and species and language extinctions worldwide....
-
Richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increases with ecosystem degradation of temperate eucalypt woodlands
PurposeDegraded ecosystems can be maintained by abiotic and biotic legacies long after initial disturbances, preventing recovery. These legacies can...
