Abstract: Soil is an immense habitat for diverse organisms across the tree of life, but just how many organisms live in soil is surprisingly unknown. Previous efforts to enumerate soil biodiversity consider only certain types of organisms (e.g., animals) or repo...
Global assessment of the biodiversity safeguards of development banks that finance infrastructure.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology [Conserv Biol] 2023 Aug; Vol. 37 (4), pp. e14095. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 27.
Abstract: Infrastructure development is a major driver of biodiversity loss globally. With upward of US$2.5 trillion in annual investments in infrastructure, the financial sector indirectly drives this biodiversity loss. At the same time, biodiversity safeguards...
Anthropogenic activities and environmental filtering have reshaped freshwater fish biodiversity patterns in China over the past 120 years.
