Anthromes and forest carbon responses to global change
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Forest ecosystems absorb and store about 25% of global carbon dioxide emissions annually and are increasingly shaped by human land use and management. Climate change interacts with land use and forest dynamics to influence observed carbon stocks and the strength of the land carbon sink.

Linking remote-sensing estimates of land cover and census statistics on land use to produce maps of land use of the conterminous United States [PDF]
, 2001 Human use of the land has a large effect on the structure of terrestrial ecosystems and the dynamics of biogeochemical cycles. For this reason, terrestrial ecosystem and biogeochemistry models require moderate resolution (e.g., ≤0.5°) information on land

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.African sandalwood (Osyris lanceolata) leaves, roots, barks, fruits, and woods are used for multiple purposes throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe. The species is threatened in several eastern African countries. To improve the species' management and conservation, a habitat suitability study was undertaken in its at‐risk region in eastern Africa and ...

Bridging biodiversity and ecosystem services through useful plant species
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Global change endangers the terrestrial vegetation that sustains us. Therefore, policymakers need to make informed decisions about what and where to protect. However, with limited resources, we must decide whether to protect the intrinsic value of plants or their value to humans. Protecting both is possible.
