Social-ecological outcomes of agricultural intensification (2018, methodology): “In addition to a slightly higher HII score, our lose–lose cases tend to be areas that initially had more forest, as evidenced by the highest median forest cover (in 2000) in lose–lose cases (57% compared with 40% for win–win cases, using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (F (1,19) = 3.”
Genetic diversity is considered important but interpreted narrowly in country reports to the Convention on Biological Diversity: Current actions and indicators are insufficient (2021, neutral): “…al., 2014), support community structure and ecosystem functions, integrity and resilience (Lotze et al., 2011; Raffard et al., 2019; Hughes et al., 2008), and are the basis for many of nature ’ s contributions to people (Des Roches et al., 2021; Díaz et al., 2018; IPBES, 2019; Stange et al., 2021).”
