Fig. 1: Global MVL loss for the period 2000 to 2020.
From: Global loss of mountain vegetated landscapes and its impact on biodiversity conservation
a Spatial pattern of global MVL loss at 30-m resolution. The map reports seven drivers caused MVL loss, including (i) human settlement growth, (ii) agriculture expansion, (iii) mining, (iv) wildfires, (v) floods, (vi) landslides and (xii) droughts. b Loss types and proportions of global MVL loss. The map includes three loss types (forest, shrubland and grassland.) and their proportions (% of total global MVL loss). c The contribution proportion of drivers to global MVL loss types. The map includes loss drivers of forest, shrubland and grassland. The background map (global mountain areas) was defined by GMBA (v2.0 standard, https://www.earthenv.org/mountains) (see Supplementary Fig. 1).
