Habitat loss and fragmentation are global threats to biodiversity and major research topics in
ecology and conservation biology. We conducted a systematic review to assess where–the …

The difficulty to spatially link the process levels of organizing agricultural management with
those of investigating biodiversity preservation creates a spatial scale mismatch which …

Agricultural intensification has caused a decline in structural elements in European
farmland, where natural habitats are increasingly fragmented. The loss of habitat structures …

The concept of 'Ecosystem Services'(ES) focuses on the linkages between ecosystems,

Context Conservation of biodiversity in cities depends on ecologically sensitive urban
planning, informed by an understanding of patterns of species distributions and richness …

Global food demand is growing rapidly. Livestock grazing can provide a valuable source of
protein, but conventional grazing is often unsustainable. We studied an 800,000-ha section …

Farmland biodiversity is greatly enhanced by the presence of trees. However, farmland trees
are declining worldwide, including in North America, Central America, and parts of southern …

Habitat loss must be distinguished from habitat fragmentation so that appropriate
conservation management can be applied. Few studies have evaluated the independent …

Context Slash-and-burn agriculture generates landscape mosaics composed of different
land uses. Ecological theory postulates that in these mosaics, the structure of species …
