The biodiversity benefit of native forest over Grain-for-Green plantations

The paper tests biodiversity benefits of native forests versus Grain-for-Green plantations using arthropod metabarcoding, finding native forests support highest species richness and mixed plantations show greater biodiversity than monocultures.

Overlooked biodiversity loss in Amazonian smallholder agriculture

This study reveals substantial biodiversity loss in Amazonian smallholder agriculture, overlooked by previous studies due to limited scope and focus on upland habitats and birds.
