Abstract Clearing of woodlands is used by graziers to promote pasture production, even though understanding of impacts of clearing on native fauna is lacking. We evaluate impacts of clearing on biodiversity by comparing invertebrates associated with ground-layer vegetation of cleared woodlands (grasslands) to that of nearby uncleared woodlands. Two replicates of grasslands consisting of pastures dominated by introduced grasses were compared with two woodlands at each of four locations. The adjacent riparian forest to each grassland and woodland site allowed evaluation of the effect of woodland clearing on the adjacent riparian zone. All habitats were grazed. Invertebrates of ground-layer vegetation were sampled using three suction subsamples of 1m 2 at each site. Grasslands had significantly lower order richness and abundance of herbivores, pollinators and macroinvertebrates (food for birds) than the woodlands, whereas the riparian forests closely resembled each other in all metrics. Invertebrate assemblages of grasslands also differed significantly from those of the woodlands. BEST analysis showed that groundcover and leaf-litter percentage cover correlated strongest with invertebrate composition. This study has demonstrated that grazing management relying on clearing of fertile grassy woodlands of the rangelands of Central Queensland alters invertebrate diversity and assemblage. Thus, tree clearing not only leads to biodiversity losses in the canopy layer, but also in the ground-layer vegetation. Implications for insect conservation Pastoralists have the capacity to improve outcomes for invertebrate biodiversity by maintaining groundcover (ground-layer vegetation and litter cover) above 80%, by encouraging native pastures over introduced species such as Buffel Grass and by retaining native woodlands.

Abstract Rapid urbanization is among the factors that decrease insect diversity. However, by offering suitable habitats, green roofs could lessen this adverse effect. Certain factors, like a nearby public garden, could be useful predictor variables to analyze to what extent green roofs can support insect communities. The study aimed to measure the insect diversity on intensive green roofs located near public gardens and on more isolated green roofs, within an urban setting. Insect species richness, abundance, and assemblages on the green roofs near public gardens differed from those on isolated green roofs. Results indicate that green roofs near public gardens will host more species, especially pollinators, consequently lessening urbanization’s negative effect. To properly understand how landscape factors impact insect communities on green roofs, future studies on green roofs’ biodiversity should consider public gardens and their influence on urban biodiversity. Implications for insect conservation The planning and establishment of a green roof near public gardens would probably enhance biodiversity conservation in an urban setting.
