Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	most of population/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	high
Natural system modifications	happening now	most of population/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	high
Biological resource use	happening now	some of population/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations)	medium
