Plant diversity, forest dependency, and alien plant invasions in tropical agricultural landscapes
TLDR
In this article, the authors present a comprehensive assessment of the varied effects of forest conversion and land-use intensification on vascular plant diversity across the four dominant land use systems in the lowlands of Sumatra: rainforest, jungle rubber agroforest, rubber plantations, and oil palm plantations.About:

TL;DR: Landscape compositions that can mitigate trade-offs under optimal land-use allocation but also show that intensive monocultures always lead to higher profits are identified, suggesting that targeted landscape planning is needed to increase land- use efficiency while ensuring socio-ecological sustainability.

Impact of forest conversion to oil palm and rubber plantations on microclimate and the role of the 2015 ENSO event
Ana Meijide,Ana Meijide,Chandra Shekhar Badu,Fernando Moyano,Nina Tiralla,Dodo Gunawan,Alexander Knohl +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the first medium-term observations of below-canopy microclimatic conditions across forest, jungle rubber agroforest, oil palm and rubber monoculture plantations in Sumatra/Indonesia.

Intensive tropical land use massively shifts soil fungal communities
Nicole Brinkmann,Dominik Schneider,Josephine Sahner,Johannes Ballauff,Nur Edy,Nur Edy,Henry Barus,Bambang Irawan,Sri Wilarso Budi,Matin Qaim,Rolf Daniel,Andrea Polle +11 more
TL;DR: Conversion of rain forests and current land use systems restructure soil fungal communities towards enhanced pathogen pressure and, thus, threaten ecosystem health functions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an experiment in an oil palm company estate in Sumatra, Indonesia, and reported the results of the first two years of the experiment and calculated plantation gross margins, which indicated that the initial effects of this experiment are encouraging to consider less intensive management practices as economically and ecologically viable options for oil palm plantations.

Habitat heterogeneity as a key to high conservation value in forest-grassland mosaics
László Erdős,György Kröel-Dulay,Zoltán Bátori,Bence Kovács,Csaba Németh,Péter János Kiss,Csaba Tölgyesi +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors distinguished six main habitats in the forest-grassland mosaics of the Kiskunsag Sand Ridge (Hungary) and compared the species composition, species richness, Shannon diversity, naturalness, selected structural features, environmental variables, and the number of protected, endemic, red-listed and specialist species of the plant communities.

Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities

TL;DR: A ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat, is proposed.

Quantifying biodiversity: procedures and pitfalls in the measurement and comparison of species richness
TL;DR: A series of common pitfalls in quantifying and comparing taxon richness are surveyed, including category‐subcategory ratios (species-to-genus and species-toindividual ratios) and rarefaction methods, which allow for meaningful standardization and comparison of datasets.
