Abstract:
... To address biodiversity declines within semi‐natural habitats, land management must cater for diverse taxonomic groups. Integrating our understanding of the ecological requirements of priority (rare, scarce or threatened) species through ‘biodiversity auditing’, with that of the intensity and complexity of historical land use, encourages novel forms of management. Experimental confirmation ...
