Table 1 Selection of global biodiversity metrics reliant on analyzed land cover datasets, either as direct inputs (shown in dark green) or as inputs used to develop their direct inputs (shown in light green).

From: Global land cover maps do not reveal mining pressures to biodiversity

  1. Refs.20,23,34,35,36,37,38,39
  2. Following guidance from the Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures, we include metrics that either measure the extent or condition of ecosystems, including pressures as a proxy for condition, and species abundance or extinction risk (TNFD, 2023a).
  3. Note, some metrics are reliant on land cover maps from earlier years (#) and/or are of coarser (+) or finer (−) spatial resolutions than the land cover products here.
