A growing understanding of the ecology of seed dispersal has so far had little influence on
conservation practice, while the needs of conservation practice have had little influence on …

Seed dispersing animals, ranging from small insects to large mammals, provide a crucial
service for a large number of plant species worldwide. However, a decline in dispersers due …

Remnant trees within the non-forest matrix are common structures of forest landscapes
which have high conservation value due to their supposed roles as biological legacies and …

Seed dispersal by Red fox (Vulpes vulpes), Stone marten (Martes foina), and Wild boar (Sus
scrofa) was analyzed in an extensively degraded mosaic landscape in Sierra Nevada (SE …

Many of the skills and resources associated with botanic gardens and arboreta, including
plant taxonomy, horticulture, and seed bank management, are fundamental to ecological …

Restoring roadside slopes in semiarid regions of the Mediterranean Basin is often
constrained by the difficulties arising when developing restoration projects (absence of …

Road building triggers vegetation and soil degradation which affects road safety. We present
conclusive results in terms of roadslope protection against erosion from several studies …

Natural regeneration of vegetation is a frequent outcome of land abandonment, although the
rate and diversity of such regeneration may be severely restricted by seed dispersal …

Different vegetation restoration methods may affect the soil's physicochemical properties
and microbial communities. However, it is not known how the microbial network's complexity …

This paper is based on an integrated assessment of abandoned farmland in the Iberian
