Journal ArticleDOI
The global distribution of ecosystems in a world without fire
TL;DR: Comparison of global 'fire off' simulations with landcover and treecover maps show that vast areas of humid C(4) grasslands and savannas, especially in South America and Africa, have the climate potential to form forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wilfried Thuiller,Cécile H. Albert,Miguel B. Araújo,Pam Berry,Mar Cabeza,Antoine Guisan,Thomas Hickler,Guy F. Midgley,James S. Paterson,Frank M. Schurr,Martin T. Sykes,Niklaus E. Zimmermann +11 more
TL;DR: This review proposes two main avenues to progress the understanding and prediction of the different processes occurring on the leading and trailing edge of the species' distribution in response to any global change phenomena and concludes with clear guidelines on how such modelling improvements will benefit conservation strategies in a changing world.

TL;DR: The first integrated global-scale intergovernmental assessment of the status, trends, and future of the links between people and nature provides an unprecedented picture of the extent of the authors' mutual dependence, the breadth and depth of the ongoing and impending crisis, and the interconnectedness among sectors and regions.
