本文分析了全球范围内自然生境向人类利用的转变。人类对自然系统的干扰分为三类，并根据剩余的未受干扰和部分干扰的土地使用生境指数进行排名。数据按生物群系和地理省进行分析，从而能够确定受人类活动影响最大的生物群系和省份。温带生物群系被发现一般比热带生物群系更受干扰。前五个最受干扰的生物群落中有四个是温带的。某些生物群落和地理区域突出为保护优先事项，特别是东南亚岛屿，地中海植被类型，温带阔叶林和热带干旱森林。查明存在数据缺陷的领域。
This paper presents an analysis of conversion of natural habitat to human use on a global scale. Human disturbance of natural systems is classified in a three-category system and ranked using a Habitat Index based on remaining undisturbed and partially disturbed land. Data is analysed by biome and biogeographic province, allowing identification of the biomes and provinces which have been the most impacted by human activity. Temperate biomes are found to be generally more disturbed than tropical biomes. Four of the top five most disturbed biomes are temperate. Certain biomes and geographic areas stand out as conservation priorities, notably the islands of Southeast Asia, Mediterranean vegetation types, Temperate Broadleaf Forests and Tropical Dry Forests. Areas for which data deficiencies exist are identified.
