Cultural ecology: emerging human-plant geographies (2009, background): “If we can imagine that biodiversity decline is not an inexorable result of modernity (Blondel, 2006; van Etten, 2006), and that traditional ecological knowledge and agricultural systems may be maintained in association (Parlee et al.”
A seeding experiment for testing tree-community recruitment under variable environments: Implications for forest regeneration and conservation in Mediterranean habitats (2009, background): “Human activities have been altering natural habitats and the spatial distribution of species in the Mediterranean Basin for thousands of years (Blondel and Aronson, 1999; Thompson, 2005; Blondel, 2006).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Adaptation to Global Environmental Change: North and South Perspectives Traditional ecological knowledge among transhumant pastoralists in Mediterranean Spain (2013, background): “The Mediterranean ecoregion is characterized by seasonality and highly unpredictable rainfall, which results in high climatic variability (Blondel 2006).”
Glacial refugia influence plant diversity patterns in the Mediterranean Basin (2009, background): “As a result of its long history of human occupation (Blondel, 2006), the Mediterranean region has had its biogeography significantly modified by man, who has shaped the modern genetic diversity of numerous taxa (e.”
Global Biodiversity Change: The Bad, the Good, and the Unknown (2012, background): “The next large-scale impact on ecosystems came with the development of agriculture (Figure 2) (35).”
The role of multi-functionality in social preferences toward semi-arid rural landscapes: An ecosystem service approach (2012, background): “In the Mediterranean basin, landscapes are characterized by the historical co-evolution of social systems and ecosystems (Blondel, 2006).”
Recruitment limitation of forest communities in a degraded Mediterranean landscape (2009, background): “Mediterranean ecosystems offer ample opportunity to study the magnitude of recruitment limitation in degraded habitats, given that millennia of human presence have disturbed 99.8% of all natural areas (Blondel 2006).”
Reshaping agri-environmental subsidies: From marginal farming to large-scale rewilding (2015, background): “In Europe, agriculture is frequently seen as essential to maintaining biodiversity (Blondel, 2006).”
