Environmental change and the option value of genetic diversity
TL;DR: It is argued that accumulating evidence demonstrates the future benefit or 'option value' of genetic diversity within natural populations when subject to anthropogenic environmental changes and the loss of that diversity will hinder their ability to adapt to changing environments and is, therefore, of serious concern.

TL;DR: An empirical global assessment of land use from 10,000 years before the present (yr B.P.) to 1850 CE reveals a planet largely transformed by hunter-gatherers, farmers, and pastoralists by 3000 years ago, considerably earlier than the dates in the land-use reconstructions commonly used by Earth scientists.

TL;DR: The results indicate that terrestrial ecosystems are highly sensitive to temperature change and suggest that, without major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, terrestrial ecosystems worldwide are at risk of major transformation, with accompanying disruption of ecosystem services and impacts on biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid environmental change in African and South American tropics around 4000 years before present: a review
Rob Marchant,Henry Hooghiemstra +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present data from tropical Africa and South America, showing a change in the hydrological budget and vegetation within numerous swamp and lake catchments during the Holocene period.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the objective biomization method applied to pollen counts using a complete list of dryland taxa to reconstruct biome distributions at the last glacial maximum in southern Europe and Africa.
