Enhancement of biodiversity and ecosystem services by ecological restoration: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 89 restoration assessments in a wide range of ecosystem types across the globe indicates that ecological restoration increased provision of biodiversity and ecosystem services by 44 and 25%, respectively, however, values of both remained lower in restored versus intact reference ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new global distribution map of tropical dry forests derived from the recently developed MODIS Vegetation Continuous Fields (VCF) product was presented, which depicts percentage tree cover at a resolution of 500 m, combined with previously defined maps of biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of ecosystem services and biodiversity: conflicts and opportunities
James M. Bullock,James Aronson,James Aronson,Adrian C. Newton,Richard F. Pywell,José María Rey-Benayas +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that restoration projects can be effective in enhancing both biodiversity and multiple services, but that conflicts can arise, especially if single services are targeted in isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing isolation of protected areas in tropical forests over the past twenty years
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multiple sources of satellite data to estimate the extent of forest habitat and loss over the last 20 years within and surrounding 198 of the most highly protected areas (IUCN status 1 and 2) located throughout the world's tropical forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change, plant diseases and food security: an overview
TL;DR: An overview of key constraints to food security uses fusarium head blight as a case study to illustrate key influences of climate change on production and quality of wheat, and outlines key links between plant diseases, climate change and food security.
