Agriculture and development transform forest ecosystems to human‐modified landscapes.
Decades of research in ecology have generated myriad concepts for the appropriate …

BACKGROUND Rapid global change is creating fundamental challenges for the persistence
of natural ecosystems and their biodiversity. Conservation efforts aimed at the protection of …

In this paper, we reflect on the implications for science, policy and practice of the recently
introduced concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), with a focus on the European context …

Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

Old‐growth tropical forests are being extensively deforested and fragmented worldwide. Yet
forest recovery through succession has led to an expansion of secondary forests in human …

Simultaneous environmental changes challenge biodiversity persistence and human
wellbeing. The science and practice of restoration ecology, in collaboration with other …

“Landscape approaches” seek to provide tools and concepts for allocating and managing
land to achieve social, economic, and environmental objectives in areas where agriculture …

The forest restoration challenge (globally 2 billion ha) and the prospect of changing climate
with increasing frequency of extreme events argues for approaching restoration from a …

Simple rules for landscape management seem elusive because different species and
species groups are associated with different land cover types; a change in landscape …

The neotropical Atlantic Forest supports one of the highest degrees of species richness and
rates of endemism on the planet, but has also undergone a huge forest loss. However, there …
