Paper: The influence of the global electric power system on terrestrial biodiversity

https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2019/11/26/1909269116


Chord diagram depicting threats to biodiversity (expressed as fractional species threat) associated with the global electric power sector and transfer of threat between regions. The outer ring of the chord diagram represents aggregate threat to biodiversity associated with each region. This has 3 components depicted in the inner ring of the chord diagram. The territorial component is depicted as a hump shape, indicating the demand and impact on biodiversity that occur within the same focal region (e.g., North America). Arrows indicates flows of biodiversity threat. International impacts are depicted as the head of the arrow and illustrate the impacts on biodiversity that occur outside the focal region to meet demand for electricity within the focal region. The origin of the arrow depicts impacts on biodiversity associated with production activities in the focal region that are driven by demand for electricity in another region. From a consumption-based perspective, the impact of demand for electricity in a focal region is the sum of territorial (hump shape) and international (head of arrows) impacts. Total impact on biodiversity within a focal region is the sum of territorial (hump shape) and production for export (origin of the arrow) impacts. ROW, Rest of World.
