Pervasive and accelerating changes to ecosystems due to human activities remain major sources of uncertainty in predicting the structure and dynamics ...

Environmental policies that use ecological restoration to offset the destruction of natural ecosystems assume that restorations readily compensate for...

Peat-forming wetlands, particularly floating fens that form the initial stages of these ecosystems, are declining globally due to excavation, dehydrat...

Tibetan Buddhist monasteries are widely distributed throughout the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and are significant locations for human-wildlife coexistence....

Arthropod diversity in agricultural areas is influenced by land-use intensity (LUI) at both local and landscape scales. In agricultural systems, non-c...

Ecosystems at high altitudes and latitudes are expected to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of global change. We assessed the responses of li...

The spatial and temporal dynamics of landscape structure yield ecological constraints that may limit or promote the recovery of functioning habitat wi...

In addition to acute transformations of ecosystems caused by deforestation, old-growth forests world-wide are being increasingly altered by low-intens...

Floodplain vegetation states (communities) exhibit spatiotemporal dynamics in vegetation structure and composition, which reflect unique hydrological ...

Land-use change frequently reduces local species diversity. Species losses will often result in loss of trait diversity, with likely consequences for ...
