  abstract = {{A} lack of spatial congruence between carbon storage and biodiversity in intact forests suggests limited cobenefits of carbon-focused policies for conserving tropical biodiversity. {H}owever, whether the same applies in tropical human-dominated landscapes ({HDL}s) is unclear. {I}n {I}ndia's {W}estern {G}hats {B}iodiversity {H}otspot, we found that while {HDL} forests harbor lower tree diversity and aboveground carbon stocks than relatively intact forests, positive diversity-carbon correlations are more prevalent in {HDL}s. {T}his is because anthropogenic drivers of species loss in {HDL}s consistently reduce carbon storing biomass volume (lower basal area), and biomass per unit volume (fewer hardwood trees). {W}e further show, using a meta-analysis spanning multiple regions, that these patterns apply to tropical {HDL}s more generally. {T}hus, while complementary strategies are needed for securing the irreplaceable biodiversity and carbon values of intact forests, ubiquitous tropical {HDL}s might hold greater potential for synergizing biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation.},
