Species diversity and ecosystem function influence each other reciprocally, while the latter forms the necessary basis for ecosystem services . Drivers of impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem function and ecosystem services have been assessed in reports by the IPCC, the Food and Agriculture Organization , the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services  and the Global Environmental Outlook . Most recently, the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land  provided an assessment on land degradation and desertification, GHG emissions and food security in the context of global warming , and the IPBES-IPCC joint report on biodiversity and climate change provided a synthesis of the current understanding of the interactions, synergies and feedbacks between biodiversity and climate change . This chapter builds on and expands the results of these assessments.
