Tropical dry forests and savannas provide important ecosystem services and harbor high biodiversity, yet are globally under pressure from land-use change. Mapping changes in the condition of dry forests and savannas is t...

India’s rapid economic growth has led to widespread expansion of linear infrastructure (LI) such as roads, railways, and power lines, often with significant ecological impacts on wildlife, including avifauna. Understan...

Abstract Understanding how plant communities reorganize under climate change is essential for effective biodiversity conservation and restoration. We developed a spatially explicit, multi-scenario framework to evaluate f...
