Biodiversity conservation: effects of changes in climate and land use

Lauren B Buckley et al. Nature. .

Abstract

Thomas et al. argue, contrary to Sala et al. that climate change poses an equal or greater threat to global biodiversity than land-use change. We contest this claim, however, on the grounds that Thomas et al. incorrectly apply species-area relationships.
