The connectivity of forest ecosystems is increasingly recognized as a key factor in evaluating the sustainability management, with significant implications for biodiversity conservation. This study examines impact afforestation programs on evolution, fragmentation, and León province, Spain, over past 25 years (1996–2020). Three scenarios were modeled across two periods (1996–2006 2006–2020), integrating data from national inventories (IFN2, IFN3, IFN4) program records provided by Junta de Castilla y León. evolution “with” “without” was analyzed using Graphab 2.6 graph theory, several metrics calculated. first period analyzed, influenced initial programs, corresponded to end expansion phase, followed decrease tree cover. Despite this reduction, net positive balance up 24% all (NC, PC, Flux, ECA) observed throughout period. Afforestation mountain areas enhanced cover continuity, resulting more homogeneous but less diverse landscape. Conversely, agricultural lands increased landscape heterogeneity, diversifying extending ecological network connections. These have played crucial role shaping landscape, influencing its diversity connectivity. Legislation grounded technical principles should be prioritized strategic tool address pressing land management challenges preserve natural values.

The alpine steppe has an important place in ecosystems, and its distribution pattern is strongly influenced by climate change. In this study, we used “biomod2” “FragStats 4.2” to calculate the migration trends habitat fragmentation of three S. purpurea steppes on western Tibetan Plateau. results study show that Stipa purpurea-Ceratoides compacta steppe, purpurea-Carex moorcroftii montis-everestii are climate, while other variables have less impact.

Genetic diversity determines evolutionary potential. Without a variable genome, natural selection cannot act. Habitat fragmentation is the single largest threat to global biodiversity, as it reduces or eliminates gene flow among populations, thereby increasing erosion of genetic through random drift. The loss adaptive capacity in small, isolated populations irreversible without and ensuing rescue. habitat connectivity, expand contract into refugia, an increasingly vital under climate change. Here, I review what we have learned from organisms found naturally fragmented landscapes. Metapopulation theory has played seminal role this goal. However, extending anthropogenically habitats been challenge. Single-species approaches elucidate impacts on entire communities, composed species with diverse interactions—mutualisms, facilitations predator–prey dynamics—and proper ecosystem functioning. To overcome limitation single-species studies, metacommunity metaecosystem ideas emerged. spatial extent configuration patches will determine which remain altered Changes interactions, community structure processes follow.

Wildlife constitutes a vital component of Earth’s ecosystems and serves as precious natural resource essential for human survival development. management integrates science, policy, community collaboration through comprehensive measures including nature reserve establishment, rescue breeding programs, technological support, law enforcement supervision, ensuring the reproduction wildlife. Simultaneously, it facilitates rational, scientific, sustainable development utilization wildlife resources to meet socioeconomic demands cultural-artistic creation needs. Consequently, plays pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem stability, preserving biodiversity, advancing However, challenges such intensified anthropogenic disturbances global climate change have precipitated critical issues, habitat loss/fragmentation, illegal trade, invasive species proliferation, zoonotic disease risks. This chapter systematically examines four dimensions: status, challenges, operational limitations, strategic recommendations. By analyzing contemporary constraints, proposes innovative perspectives actionable strategies management. study could provide powerful scientific reference promoting protecting diversity.

Evaluating microbial community changes in soils allows the understanding of ecoevolutionary dynamics, providing information on microbiome responses to anthropological interferences, reduced biodiversity, and climatic changes. The actinobacteria phylum plays crucial roles from an ecological point view is focus present study, which tracked actinobacterial communities Brazilian Cerrado soil environmental protection unit, based different land uses. evaluation 16S rRNA further taxonomical clustering operational taxonomic units (OTUs) indicated Actinomycetales as main order within all uses, ranging 45.4–70.1%, with Micrococales Rubrobacterales being found only agricultural soils. classes revealed Actinobacteria representative uses (45.5–70.4%), a paired coprevalence Thermoleophilia (43.4%) secondary soils, taxon associated phosphorus-deficient grounds. unraveling families genera was most challenging due OTUs’ dispersion given volume data, coupled high percentage unidentified (71.6–86.1%), mainly conserved preserved areas. undescribed taxa, enhanced potentially pathogenic strains anthropogenic affected sites, suffer more changes, denote harm that human activity causes microbiological diversity.
