How land use affects biodiversity: An analysis of the differences in the effects recorded on different continents

Biodiversity provides humans with abundant natural resources, but due to human activities, land use has become one of the main factors determining loss biodiversity. Previous research shown that different effects on species. To illustrate this phenomenon, study used a wide range sets data determine how affects species diversity worldwide, and whether effect depends continent. This mainly uses linear mixed-effects models (LMM) generalized (GLMM) address questions from two aspects: abundance richness. The results show responses both richness differ significantly between continents, which in Europe are lower than countries primary vegetation. However, sample size for being much larger Asia Oceania, result also indicates level sampling could have biased results.
