Global biodiversity: earth's living resources in the 21st century
Abstract
The 1990s seen a remarkable increase in appreciation of the links between the state of ecosystems and the state of humankind. This publication explores the key global issues of biodiversity. It examines the relationships between humankind and biodiversity, covering salient features of human impacts on the environment from the earliest hominines onward, and the uses currently made of elements of biodiversity. The text looks at the trends in condition of the main ecosystem types and the species integral to them and outlines some fundamental aspects of material cycles and energy flow in the biosphere.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
