Environmental Pollution and Natural Resource Management

Abstract

Aim Climate change and land use land cover change LULC, are the supreme pressures on biodiversity that can straightly impact each other. The land use land cover change has strong impact on local climatic conditions such as anthropogenic altered regions leads to more warmer and drier as compared to natural habitats. The several impacts on biodiversity due to anthropogenic factors can be developing area of research. The present state of approach is on the impact of local climatic changes on biodiversity that responds to land‐use land cover changes. Location Global. Methodology We review published research studies by searching procedure on google using keywords on different databases. The strength of this methodology is that it delivers a rapid synopsis of intensity on Climate change and land use change in relation to biodiversity trends across the globe. Results A total of 1223 published research items from 2000 to 2022 were extracted from searching on online databases based on scenarios of biodiversity due to climate change and land use changes. Out of 1223 published research items we randomly sampled research items within the list (sample size N = 250). We collected information critically from each of the above selected studies on spatial and temporal scales on different geographical locations. It revealed that natural and anthropogenic factors resulted into loss of biodiversity and its services. Conclusion Climate change and Land use change are both major contributing factor and are a main mode in which the impacts of climate change are expressed. As a contributing factor, land use influences the change in land cover patterns. Projected climate variations resulted in changes land cover patterns at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, it is required to achieve ecological functions efficiently on local, regional and global scales.
