TL;DR: It is shown that global trait composition is captured by two main dimensions that are only weakly related to macro-environmental drivers, which reflect the trade-offs at the species level but are weakly associated with climate and soil conditions at the global scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that sustainable intensification is likely to fail in improving food security if it continues to focus narrowly on food production ahead of other equally or more important variables that influence food security.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the continued underrepresentation of the low-intensity farmland in Central and Eastern Europe in the international literature and EU policy is impeding the development of sound, evidence-based conservation interventions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize published evidence provided by reviews and meta-analyses that evaluate the ecological and economic performance of single diversified farming practices and more complex diversification bundles.

TL;DR: This review of recent social-ecological systems research and key themes that could help to improve ecosystem restoration in dynamic social contexts relate to resilience and adaptability, ecosystem stewardship and navigation of change, relational values, the coevolution of human and ecological systems, long-range social-ECological connections, and leverage points for transformation.
