Implication

Model intercomparison reveals past declines and future trajectories for terrestrial biodiversity, indicating that renewed policy efforts are needed to avert climate losses.

Key Points

Terrestrial biodiversity declined globally by 2 to 11% during the 20th century, while provisioning ecosystem services increased several fold across regions.
Assessment using model intercomparison evaluated historical trends and future scenarios driven by climate change and land-use change from 1900 to 2050.
Renewed policy efforts may slow habitat conversion and stabilize regulating services, though high-emissions scenarios exacerbate terrestrial biodiversity losses.
