TL;DR: Results from the atmospheric science and hydrology papers demonstrate the very high ecosystem service values of rainforest in maintaining high biodiversity, good local air quality, reducing greenhouse emissions, and reducing landslide, flooding and sedimentation consequences of climate change—and hence provide science to underpin the protection of remaining forest, even if degraded and fragmented.

TL;DR: In the early 1990s, it became increasingly recognized that despite mounting global biodiversity losses, science was limited in its ability to predict the effects of these changes.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared aboveground biomass production of randomly assembled communities of 2 − 16 species (controls) with experimentally fltered communities from which subordinate species were removed, resulting in removal communities of 1 − 8 species.

TL;DR: The response of plants, carabid beetles and birds to native reforestation and grazing exclusion, using sites reforested over the last 30 years in the Scottish Highlands, was studied in this article.
