However, despite major differences in land use, tree cover also increased significantly in all three areas. This suggests global drivers favouring woody plant increase in grassy vegetation regardless of land use practises. In our study area the most likely candidates are increased CO2 and/or ...
457, 292, 182 and 1406; respectively). The statistical model test used are two-sided. The different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) for all pairwise comparisons among LU-types. If
The paper presents a geochemical approach to estimating the local background values of major ionic solutes and trace elements in headwater streams. Understanding the natural geochemical properties of each surface water body is essential for tracking environmental changes, identifying anthropogenic influences...

Therefore, scaling up BEF relationships remains a major challenge. We expect BEF relationships to span multiple scales, but the form and strength of the relationship might change across scales, biomes and diversity metrics (Gonzalez et al., 2020). There have been a number of studies addressing ...
To corroborate the hypothesis of admixture, we estimated gene flow among the three major groups (A: populations 1 to 4, B: population 5, C: population 6) across multiple intergenic polymorphic loci using the coalescent-based method MIGRATE-N 3.2.6 [53]. We estimated relative effective populati...
Gibson et al. (2011) showed, in a global meta-analysis, that the impact of tropical forest disturbance on biodiversity was more severe in Asia than in other regions (Africa, South America and Central America). There are at least two major reasons why the response of biodiversity to land us...
