Soils harbour a rich arthropod fauna, but many species are still not formally described (Linnaean shortfall) and the distribution of those already described is poorly understood (Wallacean shortfall). Metabarcoding holds much promise to fill this gap, however, nuclear copies of mitochondrial genes, and other artefacts lead to taxonomic inflation, w...

Plant diversity has long been linked to an increase in ecosystem productivity and function, but concrete examples in which ecosystem services are linked to diversity at the scale at which management decisions are taken are rare. We specifically tested for a correlation between plant diversity and provisioning ecosystem services estimated via the po...

Global agreement on 30×30 means an unprecedented last push to define how much nature will be left on the planet. At the same time that space for nature is being defined, climate change will be moving nature around. Species are now on the move to track climate change both on land and in the oceans, a process that is accelerating under dramatic new e...

For millennia, agriculture has been shaping landscapes on Earth. Technological change has increased agricultural productivity dramatically, especially in the past six decades, but also resulted in trade-offs such as land and soil degradation, emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), and spreading of toxic substances. In this article we review the impac...

Fire is an integral part of the Earth System and humans have skillfully used fire for millennia. Yet human activities are scaling up and reinforcing each other in ways that are reshaping fire patterns across the planet. We review these changes using the concept of the fire regime, which describes the timing, location, and type of fires. We then exp...

The National Centre for Biodiversity and Gene Conservation (NBGK) started the gene bank collection and agrobotanical evaluation of wild pear varieties in 2022. The survey of individuals and the recording of descriptors was carried out in several rounds. Part of the data was recorded in situ on the field, and the other part was analysed after the tr...

Although decades of research suggest that higher species richness improves ecosystem functioning and stability, planted forests are predominantly monocultures. To determine whether diversification of plantations would enhance aboveground carbon storage, we systematically reviewed over 11,360 publications, and acquired data from a global network of ...

Assessment of habitat quality is important for the planning and management of conservation measures at a landscape level. The Alledeghi Wildlife Reserve (AWR) is an iconic wildlife conservation area because it not only contains charismatic wildlife species but also serves as a reliable livestock rangeland. The study aimed to assess habitat quality ...

Terrestrial ecosystems encompass a vast and vital component of Earth's biodiversity and ecosystem services. The effect of increased anthropogenic dominance on terrestrial communities defines major challenges for ecosystem conservation, including habitat destruction and fragmentation, climate change, species invasions and extinctions, and disease sp...

Notre monde fait face à deux crises majeures, le dérèglement climatique et le déclin de biodiversité. Si la première est au moins prise au sérieux, la seconde nous laisse trop souvent indifférents, d’autant que certaines espèces, moustiques ou plantes envahissantes, nous sont désagréables. Pourtant cette crise est bien réelle.Notre déni vient de ce...
