TL;DR: The negative effects of climate change cannot be adequately anticipated or prepared for unless species responses are explicitly included in decision-making and global strategic frameworks, and feedbacks on climate itself are documented.

TL;DR: This map reveals that the global number of trees is approximately 3.04 trillion, an order of magnitude higher than the previous estimate, and the globalNumber of trees has fallen by approximately 46% since the start of human civilization.

TL;DR: The consensus product reduces limitations caused by misclassifications, false absence rates and the categorical format of existing land-cover products and surpasses single base products in the ability to capture subpixel land- cover information and the utility for modelling species distributions.

TL;DR: While a cross-correlation underlines the high similarity of many variables, a more detailed view in four mountain regions reveals local differences, as well as scale variations in the aggregated variables at different spatial grains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate how modern sensors onboard satellites, planes and unmanned aerial vehicles are revolutionizing the way we can detect and monitor both plant and animal species in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems as well as allowing the emergence of novel predictor variables appropriate for species distribution modeling.
