Using multiple palaeoecological indicators to guide biodiversity conservation in tropical dry islands: the case of São Nicolau, Cabo Verde by Castilla-Beltrán, A, Duarte, I, de Nascimento, L, Whittaker, R

“…Between 5000 and 400 cal yr BP the highlands held native woody taxa such as Euphorbia tuckeyana, Dracaena draco subsp. caboverdeana, and Ficus, taxa that can be used for future reforestation programmes. From 400 cal yr BP to the present day, replacement of native taxa by introduced and cultivated taxa (Pinus, Eucalyptus, Asystasia, Opuntia) has occurred. …”

“…We predict that Sunda clouded leopard connectivity in the region can be greatly enhanced through the protection of privately owned forest patches and the reforestation of underproductive oil palm plantation areas, and creation of a forested buffer zone along the river. …”

Secondary forest buffers the effects of fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bat species following 30 years of passive forest restoration by Rowley, S, López-Baucells, A, Rocha, R, Bobrowiec, PED, Meyer, CFJ
