On a gradient from pristine wilderness to a parking lot, most species live in the middle. After extensive observations, mapping, and analysis, researchers from Stanford University have now generated a method of estimating biodiversity based on tree cover. The analysis showed adding a single tree to pasture could boost, for example, the number of bird species from near zero to 80.
