Research over the past decade has shown that quantifying spatial variation in ecosystem
properties is an effective approach to investigating the effects of environmental change on …

Most terrestrial large mammals went extinct on different continents at the end of the
Pleistocene, between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. Besides the loss in species diversity …

Fire activity varies substantially at global scales because of the influence of climate, but at
broad spatiotemporal scales, the possible effects of herbivory on fire activity are unknown …

Aim How much stronger would the effects of herbivorous mammals be in natural ecosystems
if human‐linked extinctions and extirpations had not occurred? Many mammal species have …

Aim Several large‐mammal species in Europe have recovered and recolonized parts of their
historical ranges. Knowing where suitable habitat exists, and thus where range expansions …

Rewilding is a restoration approach that aims to promote self-regulating complex
ecosystems by restoring non-human ecological processes while reducing human control …

Grazing by large mammalian herbivores impacts climate as it can favor the size and stability
of a large carbon (C) pool in the soils of grazing ecosystems. As native herbivores in the …

Addressing intertwined crises of climate change and biodiversity loss is a pressing global
challenge, with trees playing pivotal roles in promoting carbon sequestration and habitat …

Aim Reconstructing megafauna diversity in the past before anthropogenic impacts is crucial
for developing targeted restoration strategies. We estimated the diversity and functional …

Megaherbivores are keystone species whose removal from landscapes can cause
cascading ecosystem changes, yet the consequences of Late Quaternary megaherbivore …
