Overlooked biodiversity loss in Amazonian smallholder agriculture

2017-09-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Diversified smallholder agriculture is the main human land-use affecting the western Amazon, home to the world’s richest terrestrial biota, but the scant available data to date have suggested that the biodiversity impacts of this land-use are small. Here, we present comprehensive surveys of birds and trees in primary forest and smallholder agricultural mosaics in northern Peru. These surveys rev...
