Abstract

Land-use management strategies play a major role in biodiversity change. In many parts of the world, local governments are under increasing pressure to regulate human activity to mitigate negative impacts on ecosystems. This case study aimed to analyze the effects of different land-use patterns on biodiversity change across a typical artificial desert watershed.
