Assessing terrestrial vertebrates as potential biodiversity indicators of ecosystem services in multifunctional landscapes
Combining ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation is critical for evaluating the benefits of nature to society. However, research gaps have led to a conservation dilemma in determining which biodiversity groups should be selected in ecosystem service assessments. To contribute to the ongoing debate on the role of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem services, we assess the performance of terrestrial vertebrates as biodiversity indicators…
Spatiotemporal Fire Patterns and Post‐fire Forest Change in Peru (2000–2021)
Fire is increasingly more frequent and severe in many tropical regions, leading to significant forest loss, diminished biodiversity, and reduced Nature's contributions to people (NCPs). In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of fire in Peru and its regions, focusing on: (1) burned area, (2) size, and (3) number of fires, using satellite data spanning two decades (2001–2020). Furthermore, we examined postfire changes in forest and …
Decoding the drivers and effects of deforestation in Peru
High deforestation rates in tropical forests of South America lead to biodiversity loss, climate change and alterations in nature’s contributions to people. Deforestation drivers vary across scales due to the heterogeneity of environmental and socioeconomic conditions and forest types. Here, we test the effects of deforestation drivers on deforestation rate from 2000 to 2020 at national and regional scales using Peru as a study case. To do that, …
Socioeconomics explain tree diversity, abundance, and composition in the compact city of Barcelona, Spain
Trees are frequently unevenly distributed in urban areas, and their diversity, abundance, and composition vary spatially. Some studies have shown that the unequal distribution of urban trees can be associated with demographic and socioeconomic factors. However, most studies have been conducted in diffuse urban systems using remotely-sensed tree cover within single or aggregated land-use types. We examined if the relationship between tree diversit…
