TL;DR: Estimates of extinction risks for sample regions that cover some 20% of the Earth's terrestrial surface show the importance of rapid implementation of technologies to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and strategies for carbon sequestration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing effects of forecasted climate change on the diversity and distribution of European higher plants for 2050
TL;DR: In reviewing possible future trends, it was found that plant species, in general, would find their current climate envelopes further northeast by 2050, shifting ranges that were comparable with those ranges in other studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
GLOBIO3: A Framework to Investigate Options for Reducing Global Terrestrial Biodiversity Loss
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Will climate change promote future invasions
Céline Bellard,Wilfried Thuiller,Boris Leroy,Piero Genovesi,Michel Bakkenes,Franck Courchamp +5 more
TL;DR: Using ensemble forecasts from species distribution models to project future suitable areas of the 100 of the world's worst invasive species, it is shown that both climate and land use changes will likely cause drastic species range shifts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability of biodiversity hotspots to global change
Céline Bellard,Camille Leclerc,Boris Leroy,Boris Leroy,Michel Bakkenes,Sam Veloz,Wilfried Thuiller,Franck Courchamp +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether hotspots are quantitatively and qualitatively threatened to the same order of magnitude by the combined effects of global changes, and they identified the Atlantic forest, Cape Floristic Region and Polynesia-Micronesia as particularly vulnerable to global changes.
