   Humans are the dominant force of change on the planet, giving rise to a new epoch referred to as the Anthropocene. This new epoch has profound meaning for humanity and one that we are only beginning to fully comprehend. We now know that society needs to be viewed as part of the biosphere, not separate from it. Depending on the collec-tive actions o...

   Transformation towards sustainability in the Anthropocene has at least three systemic dimensions. First, it involves a shift in human behaviour away from degrading the life-support foundation of societal development. Second, it requires management and governance of human actions as intertwined and embedded within the biosphere and the broader Earth...

   Mar 14, 2021 · Work on anthropogenic biomes finds that more than 75% of Earth’s ice-free land is directly altered as a result of human activity, with nearly 90% of terrestrial net primary production and 80% of global tree cover under direct human influence (Ellis and Ramankutty 2008).

   What is the difference between current biome and future biome land area?

   • Current biome land area is the circumference proportion from which arrows of that biome’s color originate; future biome land area is the circumference proportion of that biome’s color to which arrows of any color point. Arrows that start and end at the same color represent areas that do not undergo a biome-level transition.

   What percentage of land area is projected to transition between biomes?

   • A larger proportion (58.2%) of land area within PAs is projected to transition between ecoregions (p = 0.01 based on Wilcoxon signed rank test). At the broader characterization of biomes, 21.8% of land area is projected to transition between biomes, which is consistent with biome transitions projected within PAs (20.6%) (p = 0.58).

   Which biomes mirrored States and transitions between biomes?

   • States and transitions between biomes for PAs generally mirrored states and transitions for non-protected land with some exceptions. Tropical Broadleaf Forests, Temperate Conifer Forests, and Tundra are over-represented in the PA network, while Temperate Grasslands and Temperate Broadleaf Forests are under-represented.

   What is a bare earth biome?

   • Bare Earth: occurring largely in Earth’s polar regions, bare earth includes tundra, a type of cold desert with sparse vegetation Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forests: this biome may include oak, beech, and maple trees; in contrast to tropical forests, biodiversity here is usually concentrated near the forest floor

   Is the biosphere our home?

   • It is our home. Across the ocean and the continents, the biosphere integrates all living beings, their diversity, and their relationships. There is a dynamic connection between the living biosphere and the broader Earth system, with the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, the cryosphere, and the climate system.
