DOI: 10.1007/s10841-020-00279-3
Abstract: The conservation of pollinating insects in agriculture is a global concern since the diversity of such organisms may affect the productivity of pollination-dependent crops. In this study, we assessed (i) how distances from natural vegetation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2020.106033
Abstract: Abstract Vegetation restoration on abandoned farmlands is one of the typical methods for accumulating soil organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN). However, the coupling of soil OC and N accumulation following vegetation restoration remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jher.2020.01.005
Abstract: Abstract The potential natural vegetation (PNV) is a useful benchmark for the restoration of large river floodplains because very few natural reference reaches exist. Expert-based approaches and different types of ecological models (static and dynamic)… read more here.
