TL;DR: A systematic and comprehensive literature review of all ecosystem functions in oil palm plantations, including several (genetic, medicinal and ornamental resources, information functions) not included in previous systematic reviews, finds thatOil palm plantations generally have reduced ecosystem functioning compared to forests.

TL;DR: The data confirm that rainforest transformation and land use intensification lead to substantial losses in biodiversity and related ecosystem functions, such as decreased above- and below-ground carbon stocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
All is not loss: plant biodiversity in the anthropocene.
TL;DR: Current anthropogenic global patterns in vascular plant species richness at regional landscape scales are explored by combining spatially explicit models and estimates for native species loss together with gains in exotics caused by species invasions and the introduction of agricultural domesticates and ornamental exotic plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An overview of the historical, contemporary and potential future roles of ornamental horticulture in plant invasions is provided, showing that currently at least 75% and 93% of the global naturalised alien flora is grown in domestic and botanical gardens, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioclimatic and physical characterization of the world’s islands
TL;DR: It is found that islands are significantly cooler, wetter, and less seasonal than mainlands, and constrained by their limited area, they show less elevational heterogeneity.
