Mating patterns and pollinator mobility are critical traits in forest fragmentation genetics
Most woody plants are animal-pollinated, but the global problem of habitat fragmentation is
changing the pollination dynamics. Consequently, the genetic diversity and fitness of the …

Decreased landscape ecological security of peri-urban cultivated land following rapid urbanization: An impediment to sustainable agriculture
D Yu, D Wang, W Li, S Liu, Y Zhu, W Wu, Y Zhou - Sustainability, 2018 - mdpi.com
The sustainable management of peri-urban agriculture requires cultivated land to not only
be a source of food production, but also contribute ecological resources. This paper …
