Natural grasslands are being destroyed at an alarming pace, but land managers are actively
working to restore these habitats. Many of these efforts focus on restoring plant diversity but …

Restoring intensive agricultural fields to species-rich semi-natural grassland could have
profound effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, only a minority of …

One of the basic tools to quantify biodiversity is based on the use of surrogate species. Such
groups of species are easily assessed and may reflect the diversity of other important and …

Résumé The objective of this study was to clarify the taxon surrogacy hypothesis relative to
vascular plants and bryophytes. A literature review was conducted to obtain papers that met …

1. Grasslands are diverse and extensive but are declining in extent in some parts of the
globe. Grassland invertebrates can be numerically abundant and are crucial to ecosystem …

Biodiversity indicators are assumed to reflect changes in eg species richness of multiple
taxa, but correlations in species richness between taxa have often been shown to be weak …

Currently, a large‐scale restoration project aims to restore around 15 million hectares of
Atlantic Forest in Brazil. This will increase forest cover and connectivity among remnant sites …

Characterizing the relationship between different taxonomic groups is critical to identify
potential surrogates for biodiversity. Previous studies have shown that cross-taxa …

Actively restoring ecosystems that have “been degraded, damaged or destroyed” became
imperative in face of worldwide human impacts on nature. For rupestrian grasslands which …

Post-mining sites have been repeatedly shown as crucial refuges for endangered temperate
biodiversity, as they supplement vanishing non-productive and/or early successional …
