TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a global model for assessing the dominant human impacts on inland aquatic biodiversity, including land use change, eutrophication, hydrological disturbance, climate change, overexploitation and invasive species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated two climate stabilisation profiles on their merits for conservation of biodiversity, comparing them with a baseline profile, and concluded that although a maximum global-mean temperature increase of 2°C is likely to be met in a 550ppmv CO 2 -equivalent stabilisation profile, large areas of ecosystems in Europe will be affected.

TL;DR: In this article, a model-based analysis of three alternative pathways described as Global Technology, Decentralized Solutions and Consumption Change to conserve biodiversity is presented, which pursues international biodiversity goals together with a broader set of environmental sustainability objectives, including feeding the world, universal access to modern energy, limiting climate change and controlling air pollution.

TL;DR: This first forecast of the future of multiple spider species in the face of environmental changes showed that environmental changes could be confidently predicted to have serious impacts on all the studied species, with significant range contractions and expansions within a relatively short time-scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pedological approach that takes stock of available legacy and auxiliary data to create a global, 30 arc second soil property database for modeling is presented. But the methodology is not suitable for the analysis of soil properties at the global level.
