description = "Using the PREDICTS database of local biodiversity measures at thousands of sites around the world,
we statistically modelled how total abundance of organisms and compositional similarity responded
to land use and related pressures. We combined these models with spatio-temporal projections of
explanatory variables (at 0.25 degrees spatial resolution) from the year 1970 to 2050 under five
Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) to project the Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII). Mean BII
(weighted by cell area) was calculated at the country, subregion, interregion and global level. We
used cross-validation (leaving one biome out in turn) to produce decadal upper and lower uncertainty
margins for 1970-2050. These summary data were uploaded to the Natural History Museum's Biodiversity
Trends Explorer on 2021-10-27. We have also provided mean values of some of the pressures, as changes
in these contribute to changes in BII.",
