 2/3 in “protected areas”
 Temperate Zone Bias, Wealthy Nation Bias
 Just 1/6 in agricultural & settled lands
1) Identify globally similar case studies & researchers.
Enhance global collaborations
2) Assess global representativeness across sets of sites.
Enhance global synthesis (meta-analysis)
3) Improve the global relevance of site-based
observations: correct for biases, select sites globally.
Enhance global understanding of local land change

  • 6. 1) Identify globally similar case studies & researchers. Enhance global collaborations 2) Assess global representativeness across sets of sites. Enhance global synthesis (meta-analysis) 3) Improve the global relevance of site-based observations: correct for biases, select sites globally.
