Predicting landscape-scale biodiversity recovery by natural tropical forest regrowth por Prieto, P.V., Bukoski, J.J., Barros, F.S.M., Beyer, H.L., Iribarrem, A., Brancalion, P.H.S., Chazdon, R.L., Lindenmayer, D.B., Strassburg, B.B.N., Guariguata, Manuel R., Crouzeilles, R.

“…We found that landscape-scale biodiversity recovery in second-growth forests: (i) can be spatially predicted using socio-environmental landscape factors (human demography, land use/cover, anthropogenic/natural disturbances, ecosystem productivity, and topography/soil); (ii) was higher for species richness than for total abundance for vertebrates and invertebrates but not for plants (which showed a similar recovery for both metrics); and (iii) was positively correlated for total abundance of plant and vertebrate species. …”

Soil biodiversity and nature-mimicry in agriculture; the power of metaphor? por Pulleman, Mirjam Margreet, Boer, Wietse de, Giller, Kenneth E., Kuyper, Thomas W.

“…In particular, the loss of soil biodiversity as a consequence of intensive agriculture, land degradation and climate change has raised concerns due to the expected negative impacts on ecosystem services, food security and human health. The result is a strong demand for ‘nature-based’ practices that stimulate soil biodiversity or beneficial soil organisms and enhance soil health. …”
