Assessing biophysical and socio-economic impacts of climate change on regional avian biodiversity

Abstract Climate change threatens biodiversity directly by influencing biophysical variables that drive species’ geographic distributions and indirectly through socio-economic changes that influence land use patterns, driven by global consumption, production and climate. To date, no detailed analyse...
