Plea for national soil biodiversity assessment and monitoring for evidence‐based agri-environmental governance and decision‐making: - ‘Consideration of soil biodiversity in land‐use decisions and policy is highly limited and understudied, in particular with respect to the impact of dramatically changing climatic conditions.’ - ‘We have very limited knowledge about invasive species in soil and their effects on ecosystems.’ ‘In a time of rapid overall terrestrial biodiversity change, global assessments of biodiversity cannot, due to their nature, identify local needs and (adaptive) solutions.’ https://lnkd.in/diHyHeXZ

📢 📢 📢 New Research Alert! We are excited to share our latest publication in Nature Sustainability, led by Christopher Crawford, PhD. This study investigates the opportunities and challenges of utilizing #abandonedcropland for biodiversity #conservation 🐦 🦁 Our findings reveal that the success of using abandoned croplands for conservation depends on key factors such as the unique habitat preferences of individual species, land recultivation, and the impacts of ongoing habitat loss. 📄 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gFWzj6DF 📢 Press Release: https://lnkd.in/gEPDWSD2

New research exposes troubling gaps and biases in global biodiversity data that could significantly impact conservation efforts. Underrepresented regions and species highlight how incomplete data can lead to ineffective or misguided policies. 🌍 Accurate, comprehensive biodiversity data is crucial for safeguarding ecosystems and ensuring informed decision-making. We can improve global conservation strategies by addressing these gaps and protecting the world’s most vulnerable species.

Very good for building resilience of the ecosystem within an area of monoculture crop growing.
The cultivation of oil palm is here to stay. However, a five-year study indicates that creating islands of native trees within oil-palm monocultures increases biodiversity and ecosystem functioning without notably lowering crop yields. Using a robust experimental design and presenting a variety of measures and analyses, the authors report convincing findings from a large-scale, five-year experiment to investigate ecosystem restoration in a 140-hectare oil-palm landscape enriched with 52 tree islands.

Results from a new paper shows that Statutory Biodiversity metric which measures biodiversity value doesn’t work for all species. The Statutory Biodiversity Metric is a way of measuring biodiversity net gain by using various habitat features. Developers use this metric to calculate and thus demonstrate how a project will achieve a minimum biodiversity net gain of 10%. Cicely Marshall at the University of Cambridge was awarded a Small Grant by us to assess the validity of this metric across England. Her team did this by looking at plant, bird and butterfly species data at multiple long-term experiment sites (LTEs), some of which are registered with the ECT. They found that while the metric works for plant diversity, it doesn’t for bird and butterfly data. Conservation management may therefore be required for the bird and butterfly data in order to satisfy the biodiversity net gain minimum. She and her team will present these findings to Natural England and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Read the full open access paper and find out which LTEs were registered with the us: https://lnkd.in/eBJj5V69 #LongTermExperiment #LTE #Ecology #Biodiversity #Grant #OpenAccess

📚 From the CIFOR-ICRAF library: Exploring local perceptions and drivers of engagement in biodiversity monitoring among participants in payments for ecosystem services schemes This study examines how communities in Mexico's Selva Lacandona perceive and engage in biodiversity monitoring within Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes. The findings highlight the potential of participatory approaches for promoting local engagement and effective conservation in PES programs.
