Climate and land-use change homogenise terrestrial biodiversity, with consequences for ecosystem functioning and human well-being
Biodiversity continues to decline under the effect of multiple human pressures. We give a
brief overview of the main pressures on biodiversity, before focusing on the two that have a …
