TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the literature on remote sensing data products available to ecological modelers interested in improving predictions of species range dynamics under global change is presented, focusing on the key biophysical processes underlying the distribution of species in the Anthropocene including climate variability, changes in land cover, and disturbances.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have analyzed the land cover and investigated the spatial patterns of deforestation and forest fragmentation in South Asian region since the 1930's, showing that agricultural land is predominant constituting 43% of the total geographical area followed by barren land (19.99%), and forests (14.72%).

Use of long-term data to evaluate loss and endangerment status of Natura 2000 habitats and effects of protected areas.
TL;DR: This work analysed, from a long-term perspective, the habitat specificity of habitat-area loss, the change in trends in habitat loss since 1989, and the impact of protected areas on habitat loss in Hungary.

Forest recovery since 1860 in a Mediterranean region: drivers and implications for land use and land cover spatial distribution
TL;DR: Land use and land cover (LULC) change is a major part of environmental change and the set-aside of agricultural practices on difficult land has strengthened the link between biophysical drivers and LULC distribution over the last 150 years.

Five Misunderstandings About Case-Study Research
TL;DR: The authors examines five common misunderstandings about case-study research and concludes with the Kuhnian insight that a scientific discipline without a large number of thoroughly executed case studies is a discipline without systematic production of exemplars.

TL;DR: Global croplands, pastures, plantations, and urban areas have expanded in recent decades, accompanied by large increases in energy, water, and fertilizer consumption, along with considerable losses of biodiversity.

Five Misunderstandings About Case-Study Research
TL;DR: The authors examines five common misunderstandings about case-study research: theoretical knowledge is more valuable than practical knowledge, one cannot generalize from a single case, therefore, the single-case study cannot contribute to scientific development, the case study is most useful for generating hypotheses, whereas other methods are more suitable for hypotheses testing and theory building, case study contains a bias toward verification, and it is often difficult to summarize specific case studies.

TL;DR: Intensive forestry practiced within subtropical forests resulted in the highest rates of forest change globally, and boreal forest loss due largely to fire and forestry was second to that in the tropics in absolute and proportional terms.

Spatial Autocorrelation: Trouble or New Paradigm?
TL;DR: The paper discusses first how autocorrelation in ecological variables can be described and measured, and ways are presented of explicitly introducing spatial structures into ecological models, and two approaches are proposed.
