Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Estimating biodiversity change across the planet in the context of widespread human
modification is a critical challenge. Here, we review how biodiversity has changed in recent …

Enrichment of nutrients and loss of herbivores are assumed to cause a loss of plant diversity
in grassland ecosystems because they increase plant cover, which leads to a decrease of …

Grazing by domestic herbivores is the most widespread land use on the planet, and also a
major global change driver in grasslands. Yet, experimental evidence on the long-term …

Nitrogen (N) availability has been considered as a critical factor for the cycling and storage
of soil organic carbon (SOC), but effects of N enrichment on the SOC pool appear highly …

Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss. However, understanding how
different components of land use drive biodiversity loss requires the investigation of multiple …

Restoring vegetation in degraded ecosystems is an increasingly common practice for
promoting biodiversity and ecological function, but successful implementation is hampered …

The aim of cellular agriculture is to use cell-culturing technologies to produce alternatives to
agricultural products. Cultured meat is an example of a cellular agriculture product, made by …

Urbanization is increasing worldwide, with major impacts on biodiversity, species
interactions and ecosystem functioning. Pollination is an ecosystem function vital for …

The production and consumption of animal-source foods must be transformed to mitigate
negative environmental outcomes, including greenhouse gas emissions and land-use …
