- To close the yield-gap while saving biodiversity will require multiple locally relevant strategies (2013, background): “Biodiversity conservation requires that we manage for movement of organisms or their propagules, recognizing that dispersal might be achieved by allowing permeability of the matrix (especially in low contrast landscapes) or by facilitating connection through the non-production patches (especially in”
