Landscape heterogeneity buffers biodiversity of simulated meta-food-webs under global change through rescue and drainage effects

Habitat fragmentation and eutrophication have strong impacts on biodiversity but there is limited understanding of their cumulative impacts. This study presents simulations of meta-food-webs and provides a mechanistic explanation of how landscape heterogeneity promotes biodiversity through rescue an...
