Great to see the first paper coming out from Shuyu Deng's PhD today: "Human modification of land cover alters net primary productivity, species richness and their relationship" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Using existing global datasets, she shows how humans are changing biodiversity. 1/
A graph showing Net Primary Productivity (NPP) in relatively natural vegetation types against the NPP difference between the natural and human modified systems. In places with low initial NPP human modification increases NPP, in places with higher initial NPP it decreases. Major modifications have slightly more extreme effects than minor ones.
