Global Congruence of Carbon Storage and Biodiversity in Terrestrial Ecosystems

Conversion of natural ecosystems is the second largest source of human-induced climate change, accounting for 17–20% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (Gullison et al. 2007; Metz et al. 2007), and is the single most important driver of species extinctions (Baillie et al. 2004). Yet, desp...
