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.
托马斯等人认为,与萨拉等人的观点相反,气候变化对全球生物多样性构成的威胁与土地利用变化相当或更大。然而,我们对这一说法提出质疑,理由是托马斯等人错误地应用了物种-面积关系。
