Climate change is impacting crop performance and agricultural systems around the world
with implications for farmers and consumers. We carried out a systematic review to …

During the Anthropocene and other eras of rapidly changing climates, rates of change of
ecological systems can be described as fast, slow or abrupt. Fast ecological responses …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral

Central and South America (CSA) is a highly diverse region, both culturally and biologically.
It has one of the highest levels of biodiversity on the planet (Hoorn et al., 2010; Zador et al …

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species
(ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …

The global impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change are interlinked, but the feedbacks
between them are rarely assessed. Areas with greater tree diversity tend to be more …

In tropical regions, particularly in Central and South America (CSA), the projections of
climate seasonality under climate change are still uncertain. This is especially true for …

Climate change is altering the distributions of species, which in turn causes shifts in the
composition of plant communities. Specifically, rising temperatures should cause increasing …

Biodiversity is essential for the maintenance of ecosystem health and delivery of the
Sustainable Development Goals. However, the drivers of biodiversity loss and the spatial …

Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better 10
