Yet insect communities in natural and semi-natural grasslands, and the drivers of their recent changes, remain poorly studied at broad spatial scales. In Illinois (USA), efforts to preserve and restore native tallgrass prairies have been ongoing for decades, but their impact on native insect communities remain poorly understood. We conducted a statewide assessment of Auchenorrhyncha communities (Hemiptera, hereafter ‘hoppers’) along a gradient of anthropogenic disturbance. By sampling both plants and hoppers across prairie habitats, we evaluated how management practices and habitat history influence hopper communities through direct and indirect (trophic) pathways. Using community-level analyses and structural equation modeling, we tested hypotheses regarding direct and indirect effects of management intensity, habitat type, and environmental factors on plant and hopper communities. Responses were assessed for prairie-dependent species (e.g., <em>Flexamia grammica</em> and <em>Calamovilfa longifolia</em>), overall species richness (plants and hoppers), and habitat quality indices (Floristic Quality Index, Auchenorrhyncha Quality Index [AQI]). Higher management intensity indirectly promotes hopper species richness through enhanced plant species richness. However, this pattern did not extend to the AQI, which declined significantly under high-intensity management in hill prairies, which currently serve as refuges for the remaining prairie specialist hoppers. These findings suggest that while prairie management benefits plant diversity, its effects on prairie-dependent insect communities are more complex and mediated by ecological and historical factors. Effective conservation of hopper communities may therefore require targeted, habitat-specific management strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54898,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Nature Conservation","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 127231"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146038770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accelerating urban expansion across the upper Yangtze River basin has intensified pressures on <em>peri</em>-urban soils through land-use conversion, agricultural intensification, and geomorphological fragmentation. This study investigates soil functionality across Chongqing’s urban–rural ecotone using 485 soil samples collected from representative land-use types, including cultivated lands, citrus orchards, mixed woodlands, and terraced vegetable fields characteristic of the region’s steep and hilly terrain. Paddy–upland rotation systems constituted the dominant land-use category (42.6 %), followed by orchard soils, woodlands, and vegetable terraces. Integrated soil assessments combined with spatial statistical analyses revealed significant spatial clustering of SESs and SQIs (Moran’s I, P &lt; 0.01), highlighting the strong influence of geomorphological heterogeneity and land-management intensity on soil multifunctionality. Soil quality exhibited positive and statistically significant associations with key ecosystem service processes, including nutrient retention, microbial functional diversity, erosion mitigation, pollution buffering, carbon sequestration, and hydrological regulation (r = 0.18–0.51, P &lt; 0.05). A two-step clustering approach further classified 183 administrative villages into four distinct socio-ecological functional zones: (i) agro-innovation and citrus production, (ii) soil erosion control and conservation, (iii) rural environmental enhancement and pollution management, and (iv) ecological restoration and hillside rehabilitation. Across these zones, eleven dominant socio-ecological drivers, topographic ruggedness, slope gradient, farming intensity, fertilizer use structure, road accessibility, livelihood diversification, agricultural labor density, market proximity, vegetation cover, irrigation reliability, and village-level environmental investment, were identified as key determinants of spatial variation in SES–SQI interactions.

Our models, rigorously validated using spatial block cross-validation, identified the main environmental determinants of biodiversity at the scale of true wetland units. We then used model interpretation techniques to uncover nonlinearities and ecological thresholds in biodiversity–environment relationships. Our results reveal that vegetated area is a universal, dominant predictor across taxa and wetland types, but its effects are nonlinear, with clear saturation or optimum thresholds. Other drivers, such as hydrological stability and landscape composition, were context-dependent. These findings challenge the assumption that “more is always better,” instead highlighting system- and taxon-specific thresholds as effective targets for wetland conservation and restoration.
