Exponential rise in the discovery of endemic plants underscores the need to conserve the Indian savannas

Ashish N. Nerlekar et al.

Summary: The biodiversity of tropical grasslands and savannas remains poorly documented compared to tropical forests due to misconceptions about their value. A study in India found 206 endemic plant species in savannas, with hot spots for discovery in certain regions. Endemic plant discovery is related to factors like latitude, elevation, range size, and plant height.

Greater loss and fragmentation of savannas than forests over the last three decades in Yunnan Province, China

R. Sedricke Lapuz et al.

Summary: This study analyzes vegetation and land-use change in Yunnan Province and finds that savanna area has decreased over the past decades, mainly due to a decline in open parkland savannas. The study also reveals that savannas have been affected by human intervention and woody encroachment. Climate, landscape accessibility, and fire have also influenced vegetation transition.

An inconvenient misconception: Climate change is not the principal driver of biodiversity loss

Tim Caro et al.

Summary: The current perception that climate change is the principal threat to biodiversity is premature. It is important to refocus conservation efforts on habitat destruction and overexploitation, which are more urgent threats to biodiversity. Protecting ecosystems is not only crucial for biodiversity conservation, but also the only viable and economically feasible global strategy to reverse climate change.

Low-intensity cattle grazing is better than cattle exclusion to drive secondary savannas toward the features of native Cerrado vegetation

Giselda Durigan et al.

Summary: Well-managed cattle grazing contributes positively to the conservation of open ecosystems by reducing exotic grass cover, increasing native forb biodiversity, and decreasing the risk and intensity of wildfires.

Rural land abandonment is too ephemeral to provide major benefits for biodiversity and climate

Christopher L. Crawford et al.

Summary: Since 1950, a large amount of cropland has been abandoned globally due to various factors. The abandonment of cropland could have been a great opportunity for carbon sequestration and habitat restoration; however, the reality shows that the abandonment is usually short-lived, lasting only an average of 14.22 years. Most abandoned croplands will be recultivated within 30 years, which prevents the accumulation of substantial amounts of carbon and biodiversity. Without measures to reduce recultivation or provide incentives for regeneration, the opportunity to reduce biodiversity loss and climate change will be missed.

Richness, not evenness, varies across water availability gradients in grassy biomes on five continents

Melinda D. Smith et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the impact of water availability on richness and evenness and found different relationships between water availability and richness/evenness at regional and global scales. The results suggest that different factors determine patterns of richness and evenness in grassy biomes, leading to varying relationships between richness and evenness at different scales. These findings have implications for understanding how grassy ecosystems may respond to anthropogenic changes such as climate change.

Long-term Pinus plantations reduce the bud bank in Cerrado areas

Alexandre Ferraro et al.

Summary: The study revealed that long-term plantations of Pinus elliottii negatively impact the natural regeneration ability of savanna ecosystems, leading to decreases in the bud bank and loss of resilience in the areas.

Super-abundant C4 grasses are a mixed blessing in restored prairies

Emily Grman et al.

Summary: The presence of C-4 grasses in restored prairies negatively affects the abundance and diversity of sown forbs, with direct negative effects outweighing the indirect positive effects. Managers can promote the growth of sown forbs in restored prairies by increasing forb seeding density and reducing the abundance of C-4 grasses and weeds.

Late Quaternary extinctions in the Indian Subcontinent

A. M. Jukar et al.

Summary: Research shows that a low magnitude extinction event of large mammals occurred in the Indian Subcontinent approximately 30,000 years after the arrival of Homo sapiens. The co-evolution hypothesis between humans and animals, as well as robust population networks and climatic refugia, are suggested to have played a significant role in the survival of megafauna in this region.

Rangelands and crop fallows can supplement but not replace protected grasslands in sustaining Thar Desert's avifauna during the dry season

Varun Kher et al.

Summary: The study found that protected grasslands had a positive impact on bird species richness and abundance in winter, while bird community structure was similar across different land-cover types in summer. Protected grasslands were identified as the best habitat for birds, particularly for diet and habitat specialists, whereas rangelands and fallow croplands had negative impacts on specialist species but sustained generalists at comparable densities.

Monsoon forced evolution of savanna and the spread of agro-pastoralism in peninsular India

Nils Riedel et al.

Summary: This study, using data from high-resolution, well-dated lake sediments from Lonar Crater in peninsular India, shows for the first time that the expansion of savannas in peninsular India over the past approximately 6.0 kyr cal. BP was driven by monsoon weakening, rather than anthropogenic impact or fire regime shifts. The results provide unambiguous evidence for a climate-induced origin and spread of the modern savannas in peninsular India around the mid-Holocene, suggesting that savannization preceded and drove the introduction of agriculture and sedentism in the region.

Restoration of the Brazilian savanna after pine silviculture: Pine clearcutting is effective but not enough

Thais Mazzafera Haddad et al.

Summary: The study found that passive restoration and native tree planting in Brazilian Cerrado can effectively restore the structure, richness, and composition of the upper layer vegetation. However, the ground layer vegetation lacks subshrubs and herbs typical of undisturbed savannas, leading to communities shifting towards low-diversity forests after 15 years of restoration.
