Understanding the drivers of variations in carbon stocks is essential for developing effective management strategies that contribute to mitigating climate change. Although a positive relationship between biodiversity and aboveground (AGC) has been widely reported various Brazilian forest types, representing win–win scenario change mitigation, this association not commonly found subtropical forests. Therefore, present study, we aimed evaluate effects Araucaria angustifolia, stand structure species diversity shaping AGC mixed forest. We hypothesized on would be mediated by A. angustifolia. also evaluated expectation higher protected as result their correlation with conservation. structure, followed played most important role stock. Our hypothesis was partially confirmed, indirect angustifolia being have shaped AGC. Similarly, our supported, area related diversity, but rather presence larger trees, denser stands, greater abundance strategy conservation storage peculiarity forests, highlight potential these forests nature-based solution, maintaining high levels harmony provision keystone socio-economic resources.

Abstract Commodity agriculture continues to spread into tropical dry forests globally, eroding their social-ecological integrity. Understanding where deforestation frontiers expand, and which impacts this process triggers, is thus important for sustainability planning. We reconstructed past land-system change (1985–2015) simulated alternative futures (2015–2045) the Gran Chaco, a 1.1 million km 2 global hotspot with high biological cultural diversity. co-developed nine plausible future scenarios, consisting of three contrasting policy narratives (Agribusiness, Ecomodernism, Integration) agricultural expansion rates (high, medium, low). assessed our scenarios by comparing them current biodiversity, carbon density, areas used forest-dependent people. Our analyses revealed four major insights. First, intensified mosaics remaining natural vegetation have replaced large swaths woodland since 1985. Second, until 2045 potential hotspots loss (e.g. western southern Argentinian Paraguayan Chaco), both due continued existing emergence new ones. Third, strongest were consistently connected Agribusiness while lower Ecomodernism Integration scenarios. Scenarios based on narrative led social impacts, had ecological impacts. Fourth, recent land simulations showed that 10% Chaco pathway consistent narrative, associated adverse results highlight much still at stake in Chaco. Stricter land-use conservation planning are urgently needed avoid outcomes, charting option space can support such

Non-cultivated habitats are indispensable ecological spaces within agricultural landscapes that support biodiversity and associated ecosystem services on farmland, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture. The abundance of taxonomic groups these serves as a reliable indicator the diversity levels in epigaeic macroarthropod communities, while functional offer insights into trophic dynamics macroarthropods.

生物多样性是人类赖以生存的基础,但由于受到人类活动以及全球变化的影响正加速丧失,并对全球生态系统安全造成巨大威胁. 近年来,生物多样性与生态系统功能关系(biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, BEF)已然成为生物多样性保护和气候变化领域关注的热点之一,并由早期的单一营养级多样性与单个生态系统功能关系,发展到如今的多营养级生物多样性与生态系统多功能性关系. 本文介绍了多营养级生物多样性以及生态系统多功能性的基础概念,回顾了多营养级生物多样性与陆地生态系统多功能性研究的发展历程, 并系统归纳了该领域近10年的重要研究进展. 在此基础上, 针对现有研究中存在的问题, 提出未来需要重点关注的3个方面:i)BEF控制实验中多营养级生物多样性与生态系统多功能性关系的研究; ii)地下多营养级生物多样性与生态系统多功能性的关系; iii)多营养级生物多样性与生态系统多功能性关系随时间尺度的变化. 最后,本文呼吁不同研究方向的学者未来应加强合作并强调了开展整合性工作的必要性.

The relative importance of abiotic and biotic factors in shaping forest biomass stocks fluxes remains a controversial issue. Here, using data gathered from 39 1 ha plots located flooded terra firme mature tropical lowland forests the Amazon Orinoquia regions Colombia, we evaluated climate, soil fertility, flooding, as well tree taxonomic/phylogenetic diversity structural properties, determining aboveground (AGB; Mg −1 ) woody productivity (AWP; year ). Using information‐theoretic multimodel inference variance partitioning found that features such number trees with diameter at breast height ≥ 70 cm, wood density, are main drivers variation AGB. However, taxonomic also contributes to AGB because it is associated more large these forests. In contrast, key AWP were P concentrations, no significant effects indices. These findings emphasize need include major cations other than N (e.g. Mg) experimental studies improve our understanding about extent which fertility can modulate increases due climate change. Terra had higher forests, but both similar AWP; results for between Our provide limited evidence strong plant on or AWP.
