Journal ArticleDOI
A global meta-analysis on the ecological drivers of forest restoration success
Renato Crouzeilles,Renato Crouzeilles,Renato Crouzeilles,Michael Curran,Mariana Simões Larraz Ferreira,David B. Lindenmayer,Carlos E. V. Grelle,José María Rey Benayas +7 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis encompassing 221 study landscapes worldwide reveals forest restoration enhances biodiversity by 15–84% and vegetation structure by 36–77%, compared with degraded ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there any empirical support for biodiversity offset policy
TL;DR: Results indicate that in the best case, species richness converges to OG reference values within a century, species similarity (Sorenson) takes about twice as long, and assemblage composition (Morisita-Horn) up to an order of magnitude longer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward meaningful end points of biodiversity in life cycle assessment.
Michael Curran,Laura de Baan,An M. De Schryver,Rosalie van Zelm,Stefanie Hellweg,Thomas Koellner,Guido Sonnemann,Mark A. J. Huijbregts +7 more
TL;DR: There are serious conceptual shortcomings in the way models are constructed, with scale considerations largely absent, and there is a disproportionate focus on indicators that reflect changes in compositional aspects of biodiversity, mainly changes in species richness.

TL;DR: The sPlot database as mentioned in this paper contains 1,121,244 vegetation plots, which comprise 23,586,216 records of plant species and their relative cover or abundance in plots collected worldwide between 1885 and 2015.

Land Use in Life Cycle Assessment: Global Characterization Factors Based on Regional and Global Potential Species Extinction
TL;DR: The impacts of land use on biodiversity varied strongly across ecoregions, showing the highest values in regions where most natural habitat had been converted in the past, and how it can be applied to prospective assessments using scenarios of future land use.
