TL;DR: The GLOBIO3 model has been developed to assess human-induced changes in biodiversity, in the past, present, and future at regional and global scales as mentioned in this paper, which is built on simple cause-effect relationships between environmental drivers and biodiversity impacts, based on state-of-the-art knowledge.

TL;DR: Approaches to identifying more of the earth’s biological diversity; understanding how biological, geophysical, and geochemical processes interact; and presenting scientific knowledge in time to contribute to and achieve the 2010 target are described.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed and compared the leading multispecies biodiversity indices used in global and regional assessments and evaluated them with regard to their ecological performance, policy relevance and other accounting aspects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pedological approach that takes stock of available legacy and auxiliary data to create a global, 30 arc second soil property database for modeling is presented. But the methodology is not suitable for the analysis of soil properties at the global level.
