Oil palm agriculture is rapidly expanding in the Neotropics, at the expense of a range of natural and seminatural habitats. A key question is how this expansion should be managed to reduce negative impacts on biodiversity.

Large-scale conversion of natural habitats to agriculture reduces species richness and functional diversity, with important implications for the provision of many ecosystem services.

With the rapidly expanding ecological footprint of agriculture, the design of farmed landscapes will play an increasingly important role for both carbon storage and biodiversity protection.

La expansión de la agricultura tropical es un importante motor de la crisis de extinción. Una cuestión clave es si las pérdidas de biodiversidad pueden ser minimizados mediante la restricción de la futura expansión de las ...
