Interesting work by van der Meersch et al. out in Ecology Letters, nicely illustrating that process-based models are more robust than correlative models for predicting species distributions under novel climatic conditions doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Estimating current and future impacts of global mariculture production on marine biodiversity, Ma et al. show that it is possible to increase finfish and bivalve production to meet global demand while also achieving decreases in cumulative impacts to marine #biodiversity by up to 30.5% in 2050.

Boreal forests have been experiencing both gains and losses in recent decades. Liu et al show that boreal forest resilience is more sensitive to forest cover losses than to gains, indicating that functional declines due to forest loss outpace improvements following forest recovery. rdcu.be/d6T8l
