Plant biodiversity change across scales during the Anthropocene
Plant communities have undergone dramatic changes in recent centuries, although not all
such changes fit with the dominant biodiversity-crisis narrative used to describe them. At the …

Plant functional connectivity–integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal
Dispersal is essential for species to survive the threats of habitat destruction and climate
change. Combining descriptions of dispersal ability with those of landscape structure, the …

Biodiversity change is uncoupled from species richness trends: Consequences for conservation and monitoring
Global concern about human impact on biological diversity has triggered an intense
research agenda on drivers and consequences of biodiversity change in parallel with …

Effects of fragmentation on grassland plant diversity depend on the habitat specialization of species
Evaluating the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation is essential for biodiversity
conservation. However, an understanding of how habitat loss and fragmentation interact and …

Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth's ecosystems
We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is
within 1 km of the forest's edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation. A synthesis …

Pollination and seed dispersal are the most threatened processes of plant regeneration
Plant regeneration is essential for maintaining forest biodiversity and ecosystem functioning,
which are globally threatened by human disturbance. Here we present the first integrative …

The effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on plant functional traits and functional diversity: what do we know so far?
Habitat loss and fragmentation result in significant landscape changes that ultimately affect
plant diversity and add uncertainty to how natural areas will respond to future global change …

Delimitation of ecological corridors between conservation units in the Brazilian Cerrado using a GIS and AHP approach
DT Morandi, LC de Jesus França, ES Menezes… - Ecological …, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot of global importance; however, it is
fragmented. The objective of this study is to identify suitable areas for ecological corridors …

Global impacts of edge effects on species richness
Almost all world's forest areas are predicted to be near edges by 2100, making the detection
and prediction of biodiversity responses to edges an urgent need. Yet, idiosyncratic …

Forest edges increase pollinator network robustness to extinction with declining area
Edge effects often exacerbate the negative effects of habitat loss on biodiversity. In forested
ecosystems, however, many pollinators actually prefer open sunny conditions created by …
