Habitat degradation through anthropogenic development is a key driver of biodiversity loss. One way to compensate losses is "biodiversity offsetting" (wherein biodiversity impacted is "replaced" through restoration elsewhere). A challenge in implementing offsets, which has received scant attention in the literature, is the accurate determination of residual biodiversity losses. We explore this ...

The article highlights data on the first sighting of bearded vulture Gypaetus barbatus territory Ustyurt State Nature Reserve (Kazakhstan) after 2013. It has been suggested that is periodically visiting from Great Balkan Range (Western Turkmenistan) and subspecies bird encountered.

BACKGROUND The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is home to the vast grassland in China. The QTP grassland ecosystem has been seriously degraded by human land use practices and climate change. Fertilization is used in this region to increase vegetation yields for grazers. The impact of long-term fertilization on plant and microbial communities has been studied extensively. However, the influence of s...
