TL;DR: Six major themes in the ecology and conservation of landscapes are assessed, including recognizing the importance of landscape mosaics, recognizing interactions between vegetation cover and vegetation configuration, and 13 important issues that need to be considered in developing approaches to landscape conservation.

TL;DR: This work is an account of the dependent fauna of Australia, and introduces a considerable amount of new data on development of hollows, selection by fauna, pests and introduced species, and artificial hollows.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that new policies and practices are urgently needed to conserve existing large old trees and restore ecologically effective and viable populations of such trees by managing trees and forests on much longer time scales than is currently practiced, and by protecting places where they are most likely to develop.

TL;DR: A simulation model was developed to predict the rates at which mature trees are declining, identified the key variables that can be manipulated to mitigate this decline, and compared alternative management proposals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conclude that offsets will only contribute to no net loss if clearing is restricted to vegetation that is simplified enough so that its functions can be restored elsewhere with confidence or clearing is unlikely to persist and is not practicable to restore irrespective of clearing, and there will be gains of sufficient magnitude on the offset site to compensate for losses from clearing.
