Spatial sampling bias in occurrence data can generate spurious environmental associations in models of species distributions and ecological niches, and can also undermine inferences based on permutation tests made using these models. Geographic randomization tests are often used to generate distributions of expected behavior under the null hypothesis ...

Coherence Between Climate and Land Use Policies of the European Union, Brazil, and Indonesia: A Primer to Analyze Potential GHG Leakage

Coherence depends on constellations and prioritization of national policy aims in land use (production) and climate (conservation).
