Climate change is challenging conservation strategies for protected areas. To summarise
current guidance, we systematically compiled recommendations from reviews of scientific …

Abstract In the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, large knowledge gaps
persist on how to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in cash crop-dominated …

Anthropogenic habitat loss is widely recognized as a primary environmental concern. By
contrast, debates on the effects of habitat fragmentation persist. To facilitate overcoming …

Small habitat patches have been historically neglected in conservation, primarily because
extinction risk is higher in small patches. Nevertheless, sets of small patches usually harbor …

Positive effects of habitat patch size on biodiversity are often extrapolated to infer negative
effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity at landscape scales. However, such cross …

Anthropogenic habitat destruction leads to habitat loss and fragmentation, both of which
interact to determine how biodiversity changes at the landscape level. While the detrimental …

Landscape-scale conservation planning is urgent given the extent of anthropogenic land-
use change and its pervasive impacts on Earth's biodiversity. However, such efforts are …

Renewable energy production is gaining momentum globally as a way to combat climate
change without drastically reducing human energy consumption. Solar energy offers the …

Minimum patch size criteria for habitat protection reflect the conservation principle that a
single large (SL) patch of habitat has higher biodiversity than several small (SS) patches of …

When prioritizing regions for conservation protection, decisions are often based on the
principle that a single large reserve should support more species than several small …
