Habitat loss can lead to biotic homogenization (decrease in β diversity) or differentiation (increase in β diversity) of biological communities. However, it is unclear which of these ecological processes predominates in human-modified landscapes. We used data on vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants to quantify β diversity based on species occurrence and abundance among communities in 1367 landscapes with varying amounts of habitat (<30%, 30-60%, or >60% of forest cover) throughout the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Article Synopsis
- * The study highlights that natural regeneration of forests is more efficient and less costly than tree planting in degraded areas, analyzing the spatial distribution of natural forests from 2000 to 2016 to identify potential for regeneration.
- * It estimates that around 215 million hectares, mainly in countries like Brazil, Indonesia, China, Mexico, and Colombia, could naturally regenerate, potentially sequestering 23.4 billion tons of carbon over 30 years—emphasizing the importance of targeting these areas for effective restoration efforts.

Ecosystem restoration strategies vary widely in the techniques applied and ecological contexts. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate how restoration success varies across socio-ecological contexts, taxonomic groups and biomes. Restoration success is quantified as the percentage of each ecological metric value attained in the restoration site compared to the reference systems.
