TL;DR: The osmotic potentials of the soils where the four halophytes occur naturally were more negative than those allowing seeds to germinate after osmosis stress, which promoted an increase in the rate of recovery germination which, in Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Sarcocornia fruticosa, doubled their rates of germination compared to distilled water controls.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the relationship between land-use and edge habitat of raptors in semi-arid Mediterranean landscapes in south-eastern Spain and found that the proportion of forest cover at small scale was the best predictor for all species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used case studies to measure and evaluate livelihood assets in the process of sustainable forest commons governance and found that the change in natural capital demonstrates that the majority of local community residents, in their subjective consciousness, are willing to protect forest resources and biodiversity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated three possible causes of territory desertion among Bonelli's eagles Hieraaetus fasciatus in Murcia (southeastern Spain): low demographic parameters, low habitat quality and competition with Golden eagles Aquila chrysaetos.

TL;DR: The improvement of territorial bird survival and productivity are the most urgently needed actions to be undertaken in the case of the golden eagle, while for Bonelli's eagle efforts should be focused on improving territorial and non-territorial bird survival.
