Assessing the future global distribution of land ecosystems as determined by climate change and cropland incursion
The geographic distribution of natural ecosystems is afected by both climate and cropland.

This paper investigates the associations between agricultural diversification and dietary diversity among men, women and children of farm households in Bangladesh.
Mongolia’s projected warming is far above the global average and could exceed 5 °C by the end of the century.
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity.
Excessive anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs to the biosphere have disrupted the global nitrogen cycle.
Excess agricultural nitrogen, mainly from manure and chemical fertilizers, is a primary source of nutrient pollution and presents serious environmental threats to natural ecosystems and human health.
Ensuring resilient food systems and sustainable healthy diets for all requires much higher water use, however, water resources are finite, geographically dispersed, volatile under climate change, and required for other vital functions including ec
One Health has been defined as an approach to the pursuit of public health and well-being that recognizes the interconnections between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the intricate connections between human and planetary health.
The United Nations Food Systems Summit aimed to chart a path toward transforming food systems toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Evidence on the effectiveness of a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program in Southern Malawi encouraging the adoption of soil conservation practices, specifically conservation agriculture
During the past two decades, a series of global policy changes affecting genetic resource conservation, use, and exchange have entered into force: the 2004 International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), and mor
Increasing demands for agricultural commodities are resulting in more intensely managed landscapes. This is at odds with biodiversity conservation and largely ignores farmland biodiversity’s supporting function for high and stable yields.
Sustainable land management is at the heart of some of the most intractable challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. It is critical for tackling biodiversity loss, land degradation, climate change and the decline of ecosystem services.
Despite resulting biodiversity losses, agricultural intensification is key for future food security and slowing expansion of cropland and pasture.
Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production.
