Climatologies at high resolution for the earth’s land surface areas
Dirk Nikolaus Karger,Olaf Conrad,Jürgen Böhner,Tobias Kawohl,Holger Kreft,Rodrigo Wilber Soria-Auza,Niklaus E. Zimmermann,H. Peter Linder,Michael Kessler +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the CHELSA (Climatologies at high resolution for the earth's land surface areas) data of downscaled model output temperature and precipitation estimates of the ERA-Interim climatic reanalysis to a high resolution of 30'arc'sec.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a database of 45,813 first records of 16,926 established alien species and showed that the annual rate of first records worldwide has increased during the last 200 years, with 37% of all first records reported most recently (1970-2014).
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental heterogeneity as a universal driver of species richness across taxa, biomes and spatial scales
TL;DR: This work provides the first quantitative support for the generality of positive heterogeneity-richness relationships across heterogeneity components, habitat types, taxa and spatial scales from landscape to global extents, and identifies specific needs for future comparative heterogeneity- richness research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns and determinants of vascular plant diversity
Holger Kreft,Walter Jetz +1 more
TL;DR: This work investigates the global-scale species-richness pattern of vascular plants and examines its environmental and potential historical determinants, highlighting that different hypotheses about the causes of diversity gradients are not mutually exclusive, but likely act synergistically with water–energy dynamics playing a dominant role.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions
Gerold Kier,Holger Kreft,Tien Ming Lee,Walter Jetz,Pierre L. Ibisch,Christoph Nowicki,Jens Mutke,Wilhelm Barthlott +7 more
TL;DR: This work quantifies geographic patterns of endemism-scaled richness (“endemism richness”) of vascular plants across 90 terrestrial biogeographic regions, including islands, worldwide and evaluates their congruence with terrestrial vertebrates.
