Biodiversity conservation: effects of changes in climate and land use., Buckley Lauren B and Roughgarden Joan, Nature, 2004 Jul 1, Volume 430, Issue 6995, p.2 p following 33; discussion following 33 (2004)
Thomas et al. argue, contrary to Sala et al. that climate change poses an equal or greater threat to global biodiversity than land-use change. We contest this claim, however, on the grounds that Thomas et al. incorrectly apply species-area relationships.
