Intensifying farmland can sometimes degrade biodiversity more than expansion The intensification of existing farmland can sometimes be more harmful to local biodiversity than expanding the area covered by agricultural land, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

The intensification of existing farmland can sometimes be more harmful to local #biodiversity than expanding the area covered by agricultural land, finds a new study led by Dr @silviaceausu.bsky.social with Prof @tnewbold31.bsky.social @uclcber.bsky.social @ucllifesciences.bsky.social #LandUse

Geography and availability of natural habitat determine whether cropland intensification or expansion is more detrimental to biodiversity Nature Ecology & Evolution - Both agricultural expansion and intensification drive biodiversity losses. Here the authors quantify and compare globally the biodiversity impact of land conversion...

Our study on the biodiversity impacts of agriculture in @natureecoevo.bsky.social rdcu.be/ekept Minimizing biodiversity loss requires a balance of expansion and intensification,while preserving unmodified land #Biodiversity #LandUse #ConservationScience @dleclere.bsky.social @tnewbold31.bsky.social

We have a brand new module this year (Biodiversity Dynamics on a Changing Planet) led by @nhm-london.bsky.social

Opportunity to study for a PhD in a very important topic, in a fantastic department.

Really nice demonstration of climate change impacting the food requirements of desert lizards by changing their metabolic rates and activity times, with important differences in effects depending on season, and between Africa and Australia

Tropical forest clearance impacts biodiversity and function, whereas logging changes structure The impacts of degradation and deforestation on tropical forests are poorly understood, particularly at landscape scales. We present an extensive ecosystem analysis of the impacts of logging and conve...

A really nice assessment of the impact of selective logging and conversion to oil-palm plantations on forest structure, tree composition, biodiversity and ecosystem functions in the tropical forests of Borneo. @owentlewis.bsky.social and many other authors. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Why not try something new in 2025. Come and join us on UCL's MSc in Biodiversity & Global Change, to learn the latest science being used to tackle biodiversity changes.

Weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation driven by subarctic freshening since the mid-twentieth century - Nature Geoscience Fresh meltwater entering the Labrador and Irminger seas has resulted in a slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation since the 1950s, according to a combination of modelling approaches...

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1 🌊
