South America's tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from
agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest …

Agricultural expansion and intensification in South America's dry forests and grasslands
increase agricultural production, but also result in major environmental trade-offs. The …

Abstract Purpose of Review We examined recent literature on promoting habitat connectivity
in the context of climate change (CC) and land-use change (LUC). These two global change …

Habitat destruction and overexploitation are the main threats to biodiversity and where they
co‐occur, their combined impact is often larger than their individual one. Yet, detailed …

Forest loss in the tropics affects large areas, but whereas full forest conversions are routinely
assessed, forest degradation patters remain often unclear. This is particularly so for the …

Aim Understanding how habitat loss and overhunting impact large carnivores is important
for broad‐scale conservation planning. We aimed to assess how these threats interacted to …

Clearance for agriculture or cattle ranching was the dominant land-cover change during the
last two decades in the South American Dry Chaco. The Argentinean portion has been …

Abstract Context The Dry Chaco spans more than 87 million hectares across Argentina,
Bolivia, and Paraguay. This unique forest system has experienced extensive loss and …

Land-use change is a root cause of the extinction crisis, but links between habitat change
and biodiversity loss are not fully understood. While there is evidence that habitat loss is an …
