From tropical shelters to temperate defaunation: The relationship between agricultural transition stage and the distribution of threatened mammals
Aim
Agriculture is a key threat to biodiversity; however, its relationship with biodiversity patterns is understudied. Here, we evaluate …

Mapping the timing of cropland abandonment and recultivation in northern Kazakhstan using annual Landsat time series
Much of the world’s temperate grasslands have been converted to croplands, yet these trends can reverse in some regions. This is …
