Alpha, beta and gamma diversity in relatively natural, mixed and transformed landscape scenarios

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity losses and biotic homogenisation associated with human‐induced land‐cover changes are key issues for ecology. However, the effects of human‐caused land‐use changes on biodiversity change at the landscape scale are not well understood. Combining the PREDICTS global biodiversity database with MODIS satellite‐based land cover from 2001 to ...
