Biological pest control, relying on naturally occurring predator-prey dynamics, is considered a key element to achieve more sustainable farming system...

Predicting restoration outcomes requires an understanding of the natural variability of ecosystem properties. A hierarchy of predictability has been p...

The Eurasian steppe has long been subject to grazing by domestic ungulates at high levels, resulting in widespread deterioration of biodiversity and e...

Changes in livestock grazing regimes are among the most important drivers of species loss and decrease in functional diversity world-wide. However, ta...
