• Using historical ecology to understand patterns of biodiversity in fragmented agricultural landscapes (2005, background): “Elsewhere in the world, extensive land clearance is still occurring, resulting in catastrophic biodiversity losses (Ford et al., 2001; McAlpine et al., 2002).”
• Livestock grazing management and biodiversity conservation in Australian temperate grassy landscapes (2004, background): “Landscape processes, primarily the extent and spatial pattern of remnant and modified vegetation, also influence patterns of native biodiversity, ecosystem processes, and pasture production within agricultural landscapes (Loyn 1987; Young et al. 1996; Davies and Margules 1998; Walpole 1999; McAlpine”
• Increasing world consumption of beef as a driver of regional and global change: A call for policy action based on evidence from Queensland (Australia), Colombia and Brazil (2009, background): “The most fertile soils have less than 10% native vegetation cover, often occurring as linear remnants in a grazing matrix (McAlpine et al., 2002).”
