AVONET: morphological, ecological and geographical data for all birds
(2022-02-24)
Features the AVONET dataset containing comprehensive functional trait data for all birds, including six ecological variables, 11 continuous morphological traits, and range size and location information. Gross morphological ...
A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington,DC, USA, 2019)
Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to
food production. Whether crop yield–related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant
species or rely on ...
Forest cover mediates large and mediumsized mammal occurrence in a critical link of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor
(2021)
Connectivity of natural areas through biological corridors is essential for ecosystem resilience and biodiversity conservation. However, robust assessments of biodiversity in corridor areas are often hindered by logistical ...
Applying conservation social science to study the human dimensions of Neotropical bird conservation
(2020)
As the global human population increases, and many bird populations in the Neotropics and the rest of the world continue to decline, the study of the intersection of humans, birds, and conservation has become more relevant ...
Widespread mangrove damage resulting from the 2017 Atlantic mega hurricane season
(2020)
Comprised of 17 named tropical storms, 6 of which were major hurricanes, the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season ranked as one of the most damaging and costly hurricane seasons on record. In addition to socio-economic impacts, ...
Agroforestry governance for operationalising the landscape approach: connecting conservation and farming actors
(Springer, Berlín (Alemania), 2020-07)
The expansion and intensification of agriculture as well as the associated land clearing are threatening both biodiversity and
human wellbeing in tropical areas. Implementing agroforestry systems through a landscape ...
The global spectrum of plant form and function enhanced species-level trait dataset
(Scientific Data, 2022)
Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, leaf mass per ...
Silvopastoral systems and remnant forests enhance carbon storage in livestock‑dominated landscapes in Mexico
(Scientific Reports, 2022)
A large area of the terrestrial land surface is used for livestock grazing. Trees on grazing lands provide and can enhance multiple ecosystem services such as provisioning, cultural and regulating, that include carbon ...
