Integrating climate and land-use change via land-cover exposure projects substantial impacts on global bird diversity, with clear ecological assumptions.

Key findings

Projected impacts depend on habitat associations and limited dispersal assumptions; range shifts may alleviate some climate impacts while land-use threats remain critical.

Methodology

Evaluated species’ exposure to climate and land-use change through combined effects on global land cover and bird habitat associations.

Limitations

Assumes persistent habitat associations and limited dispersal; finer habitat specialization may be missed by coarse land-cover classes.
