Consider both water and land When designing terrestrial reserves, it is common to consider the needs of species systems from a perspective, with an assumption that any freshwater will benefit as well. Leal et al. tested this by analyzing data two locations in Brazilian Amazon found far accurate: Terrestrial confer little (see Perspective Abell Harrison). However, authors also integrating into overall reserve planning increased benefits 600% while only decreasing outcomes 1%. They argue must take account if they are protect across realms.
