Ecosystems are critically important components of Earth’s biological diversity and as the natural capital that sustains human life and well-being. Yet all of the world’s ecosystems show hallmarks of human influence, and many are under acute risks of collapse, with consequences for habitats of species, genetic diversity, ecosystem services, sustainable development and human well-being. The IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology is a hierarchical classification system that, in its upper levels, defines…

Restoration ecology has demonstrated an astounding growth as a new discipline of applied science, since its emergence in the past decades. Future-aimed restoration should acknowledge the changing and…
Improving the framework for assessment of ecological change in the Arctic: A circumpolar synthesis of freshwater biodiversity
1. Climate warming and subsequent landscape transformations result in rapid ecological change in Arctic freshwaters. Here we provide a synthesis of the diversity of benthic diatoms, plankton,…
Linking Terrestrial and Aquatic Biodiversity to Ecosystem Function Across Scales, Trophic Levels, and Realms
Global declines in biodiversity have the potential to affect ecosystem function, and vice versa, in both terrestrial and aquatic ecological realms. While many studies have considered…

South Africa’s Red List of Terrestrial Ecosystems (RLEs)
Ecosystem level indicators are emerging as important pillars of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity; at the same time, the IUCN Red List of…
Opportunities for Coral Reefs at the Ocean-Climate Policy Nexus: A Vibrant Oceans Initiative Whitepaper
Ocean ecosystems play a key role in maintaining the integrity of our biosphere, but vary widely with respect to their biodiversity attributes, their relationship with the atmosphere and climate…
Mountain freshwater ecosystems and protected areas in the tropical Andes: insights and gaps for climate change adaptation
Summary Although protected areas (PAs) play an important role in ecosystem conservation and climate change adaptation, no systematic information is available on PA protection of high-elevation…
Accelerated shifts in terrestrial life zones under rapid climate change
Rapid climate change is impacting biodiversity, ecosystem function, and human well‐being. Though the magnitude and trajectory of climate change are becoming clearer, our understanding of how these…
OCBIL theory: a new science for old ecosystems
TLDR
Although OCBILs are absent or rare in much of the postglacial and periglacial Northern Hemisphere, it is demonstrated in south-west Europe and North America that they are likely to be found, thus extending the implications and applications of OCBIL theory in new directions.
