1. EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE

   David U. Hooper, F. Stuart Chapin, John J. Ewel, et al. · 2005 · Ecological Monographs · 8,015 cites

   Humans are altering the composition of biological communities through a variety of activities that increase rates of species invasions and species extinctions, at all scales, from local to global. These changes in components of the Earth's biodiversity cause concern for ethical and aesthetic reasons, but they also have a strong potential to alter ecosystem properties and the goods and services they provide to humanity. Ecological experiments, observations, and theoretical developments show that ecosystem properties depend greatly on biodiversity in terms of the functional characteristics of organisms present in the ecosystem and the distribution and abundance of those organisms over space an

2. Global threats to human water security and river biodiversity

3. Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity

   Céline Bellard, Cléo Bertelsmeier, Paul Leadley, et al. · 2012 · Ecology Letters · 4,255 cites

   Many studies in recent years have investigated the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the different possible effects of climate change that can operate at individual, population, species, community, ecosystem and biome scales, notably showing that species can respond to climate change challenges by shifting their climatic niche along three non-exclusive axes: time (e.g. phenology), space (e.g. range) and self (e.g. physiology). Then, we present the principal specificities and caveats of the most common approaches used to estimate future biodiversity at global and sub-continental scales and we synthesise their results. Finally, we highlig

4. Belowground biodiversity and ecosystem functioning

5. Biodiversity Loss Threatens Human Well-Being

   Sandra Dı́az, Joseph Fargione, F. Stuart Chapin, et al. · 2006 · PLoS Biology · 1,535 cites

   Biodiversity lies at the core of ecosystem processes fueling our planet's vital life-support systems; its degradation--by us--is threatening our own well-being and will disproportionately impact the poor.

6. Arthropod decline in grasslands and forests is associated with landscape-level drivers

7. The direct drivers of recent global anthropogenic biodiversity loss

   Pedro Jaureguiberry, Nicolas Titeux, Martin Wiemers, et al. · 2022 · Science Advances · 1,085 cites

   Effective policies to halt biodiversity loss require knowing which anthropogenic drivers are the most important direct causes. Whereas previous knowledge has been limited in scope and rigor, here we statistically synthesize empirical comparisons of recent driver impacts found through a wide-ranging review. We show that land/sea use change has been the dominant direct driver of recent biodiversity loss worldwide. Direct exploitation of natural resources ranks second and pollution third; climate change and invasive alien species have been significantly less important than the top two drivers. The oceans, where direct exploitation and climate change dominate, have a different driver hierarchy f

8. Bending the curve of terrestrial biodiversity needs an integrated strategy

   David Leclère, Michael Obersteiner, Mike Barrett, et al. · 2020 · Nature · 955 cites

   Increased efforts are required to prevent further losses to terrestrial biodiversity and the ecosystem services that it provides1,2. Ambitious targets have been proposed, such as reversing the declining trends in biodiversity3; however, just feeding the growing human population will make this a challenge4. Here we use an ensemble of land-use and biodiversity models to assess whether—and how—humanity can reverse the declines in terrestrial biodiversity caused by habitat conversion, which is a major threat to biodiversity5. We show that immediate efforts, consistent with the broader sustainability agenda but of unprecedented ambition and coordination, could enable the provision of food for the
