The increasing effects of climate and global change oblige ecosystem-based management
to adapt forestry practices to deal with uncertainties. Here we provide an overview to identify …

Declines in habitat structural complexity have marked ecological outcomes, as currently
observed in many of the world's ecosystems. Coral reefs have provided a model for such …

The boreal forest is a vast biome encompassing approximately one-third (30%) of the
world's forest area. It harbors about half of the world's remaining natural and near-natural …

In urban areas, diverse and complex habitats for biodiversity are often lacking. This lack of
diversity not only compromises essential ecological processes, such as pollination and …

The urbanization process systematically leads to the loss of biodiversity. Only certain
arthropods are resilient to the urbanization process and can thrive in the novel conditions of …
