How to repair damaged ecosystems around the world?

It turns out one size doesn’t fit all.

Researchers at our Uni and Berlin found that when restoring nature, even ecosystems that look similar on the surface can respond very differently to the same measures. To absorb carbon, keep water in the ground, and recycle nutrients, tailored solutions are needed: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=7831

How does #Ebola move from the bat species that are its natural reservoir into primate and human populations? Our latest research in #Ecography suggests that fig trees and #monkeys are a key part of the story. We hypothesize that seasonal rains induce fruiting, which then invite fruit-eating species including bats, monkeys, and people to forage in the same locations facilitating spillover of the virus from one species to another.

An excellent paper by JS Rousseau and @MattBetts42
Factors influencing transferability in species distribution models :
"Species with large distributions, with distributions located in areas with low topographic relief, and with short lifespans are more likely to exhibit low transferability."

That time when you re-read a paper you published ages ago, and think "Damn that's a f'ing good paper! Why didn't it get cited more?"
