Combined impacts of global changes on biodiversity across the USA

摘要: Most studies of the effects global changes on biodiversity focus a single threat, but multiple threats lead to species extinction. We lack spatially explicit assessments intensity and their impacts biodiversity. Here, we used novel metric cumulative assess consequences 196 endemic across USA. predict that large areas with high impact scores for amphibians, birds, mammals reptiles will be concentrated in eastern part USA by 2050 s 2080 s. These values are due mainly presence invasive species, climate change, cropland pasture areas; additionally, significant proportion vulnerable some these where they occur. This analysis provides useful means identifying conservation measures monitoring programs should consider implemented future.
