Opportunities for biodiversity gains under the world/'s largest reforestation programme
Fangyuan Hua,Xiaoyang Wang,Xinlei Zheng,Brendan Fisher,Lin Wang,Jianguo Zhu,Ya Tang,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu,David S. Wilcove +9 more
TL;DR: Focusing on birds and bees in Sichuan Province, it is found that GFGP reforestation results in modest gains and losses of bird diversity, along with major losses of bee diversity.
Effectiveness of China’s National Forest Protection Program and Nature Reserves
Guopeng Ren,Stephen S. Young,Lin Wang,Wei Wang,Yongcheng Long,Ruidong Wu,Junsheng Li,Jianguo Zhu,Dan-Dan Yu,Dan-Dan Yu +9 more
TL;DR: China appears to have achieved, and even exceeded, its target of reducing deforestation to 1.1% annually in the NFPP provinces, and the results indicate that China's existing institutions can protect domestic forest cover.

Tree plantations displacing native forests: The nature and drivers of apparent forest recovery on former croplands in Southwestern China from 2000 to 2015
Fangyuan Hua,Fangyuan Hua,Lin Wang,Brendan Fisher,Xinlei Zheng,Xiaoyang Wang,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu,Ya Tang,Jianguo Zhu,David S. Wilcove +10 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors found that while the region's gross tree cover grew by 32%, this increase was entirely due to the conversion of croplands to tree plantations, particularly monocultures.

The biodiversity benefit of native forests and mixed-species plantations over monoculture plantations
Xiaoyang Wang,Xiaoyang Wang,Fangyuan Hua,Fangyuan Hua,Lin Wang,David S. Wilcove,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used meta-arcoding of arthropod diversity to test the generality of these results and showed that mixed-species plantations support a higher species richness and abundance of birds and bees than do GFGP plantations.

Using eDNA to detect the distribution and density of invasive crayfish in the Honghe-Hani rice terrace World Heritage site.
Wang Cai,Wang Cai,Zhuxin Ma,Chunyan Yang,Lin Wang,Wenzhi Wang,Guigang Zhao,Yupeng Geng,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a program of repeated eDNA sampling is now feasible and likely reliable for measuring crayfish geographic range and for detecting new invasion fronts in the Honghe Hani landscape, which would inform regional control efforts and help to prevent the further spread of this invasive cray fish.
