Land conversion to agriculture induces taxonomic homogenization of soil microbial communities globally
Agriculture contributes to a decline in local species diversity and to above-and below-
ground biotic homogenization. Here, we conduct a continental survey using 1185 soil …

Guiding principles for rewilding
There has been much recent interest in the concept of rewilding as a tool for nature
conservation, but also confusion over the idea, which has limited its utility. We developed a …
