Weird title. The actual title is "Human activities and species biological traits drive the long-term persistence of old trees in human-dominated landscapes". Looks like the nonsense title here is the result of removing a bunch of words from the actual title. Maybe it was done automatically.

> identified which species were most likely to persist as old trees in human-dominated landscapes and where they were most likely to occur. We found that species with greater potential height, smaller leaf size and diverse human utilization attributes had the highest probability of long-term persistence. The persistence probabilities of human-associated species (taxa with diverse human utilization attributes) were relatively high in intensively cultivated areas. Conversely, the persistence probabilities of spontaneous species (taxa with no human utilization attributes and which are not cultivated) were relatively high in mountainous areas or regions inhabited by ethnic minorities.

Unsurprising results, but it's interesting seeing it quantified.
