Landscape metric sensitivity to grain size in rural Japan
In this study, we investigated the sensitivity of landscape metrics to varying grain sizes in a rural, forested landscape in Japan, contributing to a...

Interplay between pond size and matrix extent drives odonate diversity patterns in a fragmented landscape
Landscape fragmentation impacts freshwater habitats and their quality, affecting aquatic insect assemblages. Adjacent terrestrial areas are important...

Spatial grain size effects of landscape metrics in different gradients of coastal areas
As an essential object of regional development and utilization, the coastal area was affected by the increasing human activities, resulting in a...

Habitat loss reduces abundance and body size of forest-dwelling dung beetles in an Amazonian urban landscape
The loss of forest cover in urban landscapes alters the dynamics of spatial and food resources, challenging the maintenance of forest species, which...

Body size, richness, and abundance of Staphylinidae unaffected by landscape composition and crop** system in a push–pull maize system in Kenya
The change from predominantly natural to agricultural landscapes has been shown to reduce pollination and biological control services and also affect...

Baobab fruiting is driven by scale-dependent mediation of plant size and landscape features
ContextBoth plant size and distribution of plants and resources across landscapes are known to influence pollinator behavior and resulting plant...

Impact of landscape patterns on herb-layer diversity and seed size of Schima superba in urban remnant vegetation: A case study in Guangzhou, Southern China
In order to explore which ecological strategies the remnant vegetation is taken to adapt to urbanization, we investigated three kinds of typical...

Landscape openness, not patch size or grassland amount, drives area sensitivity of songbirds in northern tall-grass prairies
ContextArea sensitivity, a behaviour whereby smaller patches of habitat are avoided, is of significant conservation concern for North American...
-
Landscape connection and patch complexity explain plant community similarity in sandy grasslands better than habitat amount and landscape heterogeneity via network analysis
Based on the island biogeography theory and the habitat amount hypothesis, species richness and alpha diversity increase with an increase in...

Landscape configuration and storm characteristics drive spatial patterns of wind disturbance in boreal forest landscapes
ContextWind is an important disturbance in circumboreal forests, and its frequency and severity may change with climate change, highlighting the need...

Landscape configuration as a proxy for the occurrence and conservation of forest birds in peri-urban and urban environments
Birds’ responses to landscape configuration in urban and peri-urban areas are still poorly known. How landscape configuration (structure and...

Landscape perspectives for agroecological weed management. A review
Faced with the biodiversity extinction crisis and climate change, alternative approaches to food production are urgently needed. Decades of...

Global Landscape Governance on the 20th Anniversary of the European Landscape Convention
This chapter argues that reflecting on the continuity of the European landscape requires us to look beyond the European Landscape Convention as a...

Policies, Landscape and Politics
Elias Canetti warned us that behind any model there is always a metamodel whose nature is malign. The nature of the landscape model is thus...

The landscape scale of effect on the alpha and beta diversities of woody species in a semideciduous tropical forest
ContextMost tropical forest landscapes are highly fragmented, have habitat patches varying in size and shape, and display different degrees of...

From the local landscape organization to land abandonment: an analysis of landscape changes (1956–2017) in the Aísa Valley (Spanish Pyrenees)
ContextThe Mediterranean mountains have witnessed the revegetation of former pasture and cultivated fields since the mid-20th century. The process...

Combining landscape and genetic graphs to address key issues in landscape genetics
ContextAll the components of landscape and genetic structures can be associated with the nodes and links of landscape graphs and genetic graphs. Yet,...

Assessing landscape-level effects of permanent grassland management and landscape configuration on open-land butterflies based on national monitoring data
Halting and reversing the ongoing insect decline requires in-depth knowledge on key drivers. Due to their sensitivity to habitat quality, butterflies...
