Abstract Human land use has caused substantial declines in global species richness. Evidence from different taxonomic groups and geographic regions suggests that does not equally impact all organisms within terrestrial ecological communities, functional of may respond differently. In particular, we expect large carnivores to decline more disturbed uses than other animal groups. We present the first synthesis responses across using data a wide set species, including herbivores, omnivores,...

Abstract The European Union has a long‐term objective to achieve healthy soils by 2050. Commission proposed Directive of the Parliament and Council on Soil Monitoring Resilience (Soil Law, SML), first stage which is focus setting up soil monitoring framework assessing throughout EU. Situated in NW Europe, UK substantial experience over last half century may usefully contribute this wider EU effort. A set overarching principles have continue guide design national prove helpful as other...

Most land on Earth has been changed by humans and past changes of can have lasting influences current species assemblages. Yet few globally representative studies explicitly consider such even though auxiliary data, as from remote sensing, are readily available. Time series satellite‐derived data commonly used to quantify differences in land‐surface attributes vegetation cover, which will among other things be influenced anthropogenic conversions modifications. Here we (up five years before...

2050: A New World is a policy-making board game developed, by the authors, wherein players balance city planning strategies with climate change mitigation, in an attempt to provide sustainable future for their region. Players make challenging decisions limited resources and consider necessary trade-offs required resilience. The encourages creative thinking about sustainability, emphasises consequences involved combating change. Social variables, such as inequality, population density, food...
