The intensification of existing farmland can sometimes be more harmful to local #biodiversity than expanding the area covered by agricultural land, finds a new study led by Dr @silviaceausu.bsky.social with Prof @tnewbold31.bsky.social @uclcber.bsky.social @ucllifesciences.bsky.social #LandUse

Intensifying farmland can sometimes degrade biodiversity more than expansion

Our study on the biodiversity impacts of agriculture in @natureecoevo.bsky.social rdcu.be/ekept Minimizing biodiversity loss requires a balance of expansion and intensification,while preserving unmodified land #Biodiversity #LandUse #ConservationScience @dleclere.bsky.social @tnewbold31.bsky.social

Geography and availability of natural habitat determine whether cropland intensification or expansion is more detrimental to biodiversity

Really nice demonstration of climate change impacting the food requirements of desert lizards by changing their metabolic rates and activity times, with important differences in effects depending on season, and between Africa and Australia

Michael Kearney@ecophys.bsky.social · 2y ago

The late Eric Pianka made thousands of observations of desert lizard body temperature and activity. We used them to test biophysical models of their cost of living and projected the models to past and future climates in Africa and Australia #unimelb #ARC @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A really nice assessment of the impact of selective logging and conversion to oil-palm plantations on forest structure, tree composition, biodiversity and ecosystem functions in the tropical forests of Borneo. @owentlewis.bsky.social and many other authors. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Tropical forest clearance impacts biodiversity and function, whereas logging changes structure

The impacts of degradation and deforestation on tropical forests are poorly understood, particularly at landscape scales. We present an extensive ecosystem analysis of the impacts of logging and conve...
