DOI: 10.1002/lno.11554
Abstract: Microphytobenthos forms an important part of the diet of macrofauna (macrozoobenthos) in many intertidal ecosystems. It is unclear, however, whether the dependence of macrofauna on microphytobenthos varies spatially within and among tidal systems. We aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00754
Abstract: Abstract Protected areas are critical for the long-term conservation of biodiversity globally. Across agricultural landscapes, protected areas serve as refuges for threatened and declining species and provide valuable ecosystem services that support broader landscape function.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01782
Abstract: Abstract Grassland ecosystem services (GES) are closely related to human well-being, and an accurate understanding of the driving mechanisms and relative contributions of climate change and human activities on GES is beneficial for grassland sustainable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01431161.2020.1731930
Abstract: ABSTRACT Pastoral systems based on grazing itineraries are very common along the Mediterranean region and provide an opportunity to manage the fuel load and reduce fire risk in the ecosystem. Daily and seasonal movements of… read more here.

Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Science"
DOI: 10.1126/science.abq4062
Abstract: Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may occur but have never been addressed… read more here.
