Abstract Faced with the biodiversity extinction crisis and climate change, alternative approaches to food production are urgently needed. Decades of chemical-based weed control have resulted in a dramatic decline diversity, negative repercussions for agroecosystem biodiversity. The simplification cropping systems evolution herbicide resistance led dominance small number competitive species, calling more sustainable approach that considers not only abundance but also community diversity composition. Agroecological management involves harnessing ecological processes minimize impacts weeds on productivity maximize However, current research effort agroecological is largely rooted agronomy field-scale farming practices. In contrast, contributions landscape-scale interventions unexplored (e.g., promote pollinators natural enemies or carbon sequestration). Here, we review knowledge landscape effects properties (abundance, composition) seed predation (a key factor management). Furthermore, discuss underlying effects, their interaction in-field approaches, implications change management. Notably, found (1) context rarely affects total abundance; (2) configurational than compositional heterogeneity landscapes associated higher alpha, beta, gamma diversity; (3) evidence currently limited; (4) plant spillover from neighboring habitats most common interpretation properties, whereas many other overlooked. Strikingly, drivers biological regulation at scale remain poorly understood. We recommend addressing these issues better integrate into management, which could inform movement towards managing farms wider spatiotemporal scales single fields season.

Abstract Climate change, biodiversity loss, and chemical pollution are planetary‐scale emergencies requiring urgent mitigation actions. As these “triple crises” deeply interlinked, they need to be tackled in an integrative manner. However, while climate change often studied together, as a global factor contributing worldwide loss has received much less attention research so far. Here, we review evidence showing that the multifaceted effects of anthropogenic chemicals environment posing growing threat ecosystems. Therefore, failure account for may significantly undermine success protection efforts. We argue progress understanding counteracting negative impact on requires collective efforts scientists from different disciplines, including but not limited ecology, ecotoxicology, environmental chemistry. Importantly, recent developments fields have now enabled comprehensive studies could efficiently address manifold interactions between Based their experience with intricate biodiversity, ecologists well equipped embrace additional challenge complexity through interdisciplinary collaborations. This offers unique opportunity jointly advance seminal frontier ecology facilitate development innovative solutions protection.

Although species are being lost at alarming rates, previous research has provided conflicting results on the extent and even direction of global biodiversity change local scale. Here, we assessed ability to detect trends using richness how it is affected by number monitoring sites, sampling interval (i.e. time between original survey re‐survey site), measurement error (error richness), spatial grain (a proxy for taxa mobility) biases site‐selection biases). We use PREDICTS model‐based estimates as a real‐world distribution randomly selected sites calculate trends. found that while network with hundreds could in within 30‐year period, detecting doubled decade, increased 10‐fold three years yearly were undetectable. Measurement errors had non‐linear effect statistical power, 1% reducing power slight margin 5% drastically reliably any trend. The was also related grain, making harder sampled smaller plot sizes. Spatial not only reduced negative but sometimes yielded positive conclude accurate may simply be unfeasible current approaches. suggest representative implemented national level, combined models accounting biases, can help improve our understanding change.

Scientific evidence has documented we are undergoing a mass extinction of species, caused by human activity. However, allocating conservation resources is difficult due to scarce on damages from losing individual species. This paper studies the collapse vultures in India, triggered expiry patent painkiller. Our results suggest functional vultures—efficient scavengers that removed carcasses environment—increased mortality over 4 percent because large negative shock sanitation. We quantify at $69.4 billion per year. These high returns conserving keystone species such as vultures. (JEL I12, O13, O15, Q53, Q57, Q58)

Mitigating loss of genetic diversity is a major global biodiversity challenge1-4. To meet recent international commitments to maintain within species5,6, we need understand relationships between threats, conservation management and change. Here conduct analysis change via meta-analysis all available temporal measures from more than three decades research. We show that within-population being lost over timescales likely have been impacted by human activities, some actions may mitigate this loss. Our dataset includes 628 species (animals, plants, fungi chromists) across terrestrial most marine realms on Earth. Threats two-thirds the populations analysed, less half analysed received management. Genetic occurs globally realistic prediction for many species, especially birds mammals, in face threats such as land use change, disease, abiotic natural phenomena harvesting or harassment. Conservation strategies designed improve environmental conditions, increase population growth rates introduce new individuals (for example, restoring connectivity performing translocations) even diversity. findings underscore urgent active, genetically informed interventions halt

Abstract As the urgency to evaluate impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems increases, there is a need develop robust projections and improve uptake ecosystem model outputs in policy planning. Standardizing input output data crucial step evaluating communicating results, but can be challenging when using models with diverse structures, assumptions, that address region‐specific issues. We developed an implementation framework workflow standardize fishing forcings used by regional contributing Fisheries Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) facilitate comparative analyses across wide range regions, line FishMIP 3a protocol. applied our three case study areas‐models: Baltic Sea Mizer, Hawai'i‐based Longline fisheries therMizer, southern Benguela Atlantis models. then selected most steps illustrated their different types regions. Our adaptable models, from non‐spatially explicit spatially fully‐depth resolved include one or several fleets. This will development ensembles enhance future research applications, evaluation benchmarking, global‐to‐regional comparisons.
