Land-use trajectories for sustainable land system transformations: Identifying leverage points in a global biodiversity hotspot [Ecology]

Sustainable land-system transformations are necessary to avert biodiversity and climate collapse. However, it remains unclear where entry points for transformations exist in complex land systems. Here, we conceptualize land systems along land-use trajectories, which allows us to identify and evaluate leverage points, i.e., entry points on the trajectory where targeted...
