A meta-analysis of crop yield under climate change and adaptation
Andrew J. Challinor,Andrew J. Challinor,James E. M. Watson,David B. Lobell,SM Howden,Daniel R. Smith,Netra Chhetri +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive summary of studies that simulate climate change impacts on agriculture are reported in a meta-analysis, which suggests that aggregate yield losses should be expected for wheat, rice and maize in temperate and tropical growing regions even under relatively moderate levels of local warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
The performance and potential of protected areas
TL;DR: A step change involving increased recognition, funding, planning and enforcement is urgently needed if protected areas are going to fulfil their potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity: The ravages of guns, nets and bulldozers
TL;DR: An analysis of threat information gathered for more than 8,000 species revealed that overexploitation and agriculture are by far the biggest drivers of biodiversity decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation biogeography: assessment and prospect
Robert J. Whittaker,Miguel B. Araújo,Paul Jepson,Richard J. Ladle,James E. M. Watson,Katherine J. Willis +5 more
TL;DR: The role played by biogeographical science in the emergence of conservation guidance is examined and the case for the recognition of Conservation Biogeography as a key subfield of conservation biology delimited as both a substantial body of theory and analysis is made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sixteen years of change in the global terrestrial human footprint and implications for biodiversity conservation
Oscar Venter,Oscar Venter,Oscar Venter,Eric W. Sanderson,Ainhoa Magrach,Ainhoa Magrach,James Allan,Jutta Beher,Kendall R. Jones,Hugh P. Possingham,Hugh P. Possingham,William F. Laurance,Peter Wood,Balázs M. Fekete,Marc A. Levy,James E. M. Watson,James E. M. Watson +16 more
TL;DR: This work uses recently available data on infrastructure, land cover and human access into natural areas to construct a globally standardized measure of the cumulative human footprint on the terrestrial environment at 1 km2 resolution from 1993 to 2009.
