Table 1.
The environmental stressors associated with the five GCs that were analyzed (habitat fragmentation lacked sufficient data to investigate the associated environmental stressors)
| Global Change | Environmental stressor | Stressor trait |
|---|---|---|
| Climate change | CO2 increase | PRESS |
| Temperature change | PRESS | |
| Water availability—drought | PULSE | |
| Water availability—flood | PULSE | |
| Land-use intensification | Grazing | PRESS |
| Organic versus conventional farming | PRESS | |
| Harvesting | PULSE | |
| Fire | PULSE | |
| Tillage | PULSE | |
| Pollution | Metals | PRESS |
| Pesticides | PRESS | |
| Nutrient enrichment | Synthetic fertilizers | PRESS |
| Ca-liming + wood ash | PRESS | |
| Compost | PRESS | |
| Manure + slurry | PRESS | |
| Mixture | PRESS | |
| Other organic fertilizers | PRESS | |
| Residue + mulch | PRESS | |
| Sludge (including biosolids) | PRESS | |
| Invasive species | Aboveground animal | PRESS |
| Belowground animal | PRESS | |
| Plants-non-woody | PRESS | |
| Plants-woody | PRESS | |
| Habitat fragmentation | NA | NA |
All environmental stressors were classified as either a “press” stressor or a “pulse” stressor.
