Summary

Carbon sequestration and biodiversity are tightly linked, but many models projecting carbon storage change do not account for the role biodiversity plays in the sequestration capacity of terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we link a macroecological model projecting changes in vascular plant richness with empirical biodiversity-biomass stock relationships, to assess the consequences of plant biodiversity loss for carbon storage under multiple climate and land-use change scenarios. Data presented here include global raster files of plant species loss by ecoregion, biomass loss by ecoregion, and carbon loss by ecoregion. Estimates are what is expected over the long term, when ecosystems approach their new equilibrium states, based on climate [...]

Purpose

Our study explores how projected future climate and land-use change scenarios will affect biodiversity loss. We estimate the additional long-term loss of carbon storage resulting indirectly from biodiversity loss that is expected in addition to the direct emissions from land-use change or other climate change impacts on carbon stocks
