Biodiversity loss and climate extremes — study the feedbacks
As humankind warms the planet and alters ecosystems, biodiversity is plummeting. These two global megatrends are well-quantified, and it becomes increasingly clear that both crises are connected in multiple ways. Using data from satellites, for instance, researchers can show that changing landscapes and thereby the world’s biosphere is altering cloudiness and climate at large spatial scales [1]. But when diving deeper into the biodiversity-climate nexus, it becomes clear that the details of the intricate feedback loops between these critical transformations are astonishingly understudied.
