    Environmental DNA reveals impact of climate and humans on global river fish biodiversity

    A global analysis of fish biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) reveals how human activity and climate influence biodiversity patterns in river ecosystems. An international research team led by the University of Zurich, Eawag and Yunnan University has found that in warmer climates, biodiversity accumulation is more pronounced as river catchment size increases, while human activities weaken this relationship. The work is published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.

    More trees do not always mean more birds, and a Japanese study found grassland species fell by over 70% near shelterbelts, showing that restoring habitat can sometimes reduce biodiversity

    A new Japanese study shows that planting shelterbelts, or rows of trees on farmland, can significantly reduce the abundance and diversity of grassland bird species, challenging common assumptions about tree planting for biodiversity. The implications extend beyond Japan, suggesting a need for smarter tree planting strategies to protect wildlife.

    Restoring African landscapes with indigenous food-bearing trees

    Deforestation is a major problem across Africa. It is widely recognized that deforestation harms biodiversity, but tree loss also harms dietary quality, as nutritious fruits, nuts, seeds and leaves disappear from the landscape. More than $1 billion has been pledged for landscape restoration in Africa, but Emilie C. Vansant and colleagues report in a Perspective that many projects tend to focus on planting fast-growing, exotic tree species rather than native species. Such low-diversity plantations are vulnerable to pests, wildfires, drought and other extreme weather events, and introduced species can sometimes outcompete local vegetation. Their work is published in PNAS Nexus.
