• Widespread Climate Change in the Himalayas and Associated Changes in Local Ecosystems (2012, background): “Of the 825 ecoregions in the world, 13 are represented in the Himalayas [2].”
• Insular bats and research effort: a review of global patterns and priorities (2017, background): “For instance, species and regions may be prioritised for conservation action based on their endemicity, evolutionary distinctiveness, rarity levels, or lack of knowledge (Myers et al. 2000, Olson & Dinerstein 2002, Wilson et al. 2006, Isaac et al. 2007, Arponen 2012).”
• Conservative allocation strategy of multiple nutrients among major plant organs: From species to community (2019, background): “…evergreen mixed forest (Shennong, SN), subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest (Jiulian, JL) and subtropical monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest (Dinghu, DH), which could be broadly divided into temperate, and tropical and subtropical biomes (Olson & Dinerstein, 2002; Reich et al., 2010).”
• Forests of East Australia: The 35th Biodiversity Hotspot (2011, neutral): “The hotspot harbors 32 globally threatened plant species according to the 2009 IUCN Red List (IUCN 2009): one Critically Endangered, 12 Endangered, and 19 Vulnerable.”
• Multiple Recruitment Limitation Causes Arrested Succession in Mediterranean Cork Oak Systems (2007, background): “More recently, the recognition of Mediterranean ecosystems as one of the Earth‘s biodiversity hotspots (Myers and others 2000; Olson and Dinerstein 2002) has boosted the search for a clear understanding of the mechanisms of natural regeneration and the role of arrested succession.”
• Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (2019, background): “2009a) and many of the globally significant ecoregions are shared by different countries (Olson and Dinerstein 2002).”
• Using species distribution modelling to disentangle realised versus potential distributions for rare species conservation (2013, background): “3% of all plant species globally, make it a hyper-hot candidate for conservation support (Mittermeier et al., 1998; Myers et al., 2000; Olson and Dinerstein, 2002) even more so when considering that over 1900 of them are threatened or extinct (Brooks et al.”
• Agroforestry systems conserve species-rich but modified assemblages of tropical birds and bats (2007, background): “The indigenous reserves of Talamanca are considered a priority region for both national and regional conservation efforts, due to their high levels of plant and animal diversity and their strategic location within the Talamanca-Caribbean biological corridor, which falls within the larger Mesoamerica”
• Global assessment of nitrogen deposition effects on terrestrial plant diversity: a synthesis. (2010, methodology): “To estimate the extent to which ecosystems of high conservation value around the world may be under threat from increasing N deposition now and in the future we have developed a new approach of overlaying modeled N deposition with WWF G200 ecoregions (Olson and Dinerstein 2002).”
