TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an experiment in an oil palm company estate in Sumatra, Indonesia, and reported the results of the first two years of the experiment and calculated plantation gross margins, which indicated that the initial effects of this experiment are encouraging to consider less intensive management practices as economically and ecologically viable options for oil palm plantations.

TL;DR: The Global Island Monitoring Scheme (GIMS) as mentioned in this paper was proposed to monitor the remaining native island forests, using bryophytes, vascular plants, selected groups of arthropods and vertebrates as model taxa.

TL;DR: A long-term biodiversity enrichment experiment established experimental tree islands in a conventional oil-palm plantation and systematically varied plot size, tree diversity, and tree species composition to evaluate the suitability of tree islands as a restoration measure.

TL;DR: It is argued that geographical settings are characterized by specific configurations of ecological filters that have a strong impact on the magnitude and structure of turnover and taxonomic and functional groups are differentially successful in passing these filters, resulting in group- and setting-specific turnover patterns.
