Farmland abandonment is a widespread land-use change in temperate regions, due to
increasing yields on productive lands, conservation policies, and the increasing imports of …

Land-use has transformed ecosystems over three quarters of the terrestrial surface, with
massive repercussions on biodiversity. Land-use intensity is known to contribute to the …

Secondary forests are increasingly important components of human‐modified landscapes in
the tropics. Successional pathways, however, can vary enormously across and within …

Most current research on land‐use intensification addresses its potential to either threaten
biodiversity or to boost agricultural production. However, little is known about the …

Urbanisation patterns in Europe since the 1950s have resulted in a swath of low-density
