The biodiversity of West African rainforests is globally significant but poorly described, little understood in terms of its functional significance, and under threat from forest loss and degradation.
The emission of N2O from China is globally significant, but relatively few direct observations have been made in many of the fresh water environments most likely to be important sites of N2O production.
While the U.S. market is globally significant, one recent analysis forecast that the only major region of the world in which light-vehicle sales would decrease in 2018 or 2019 was North America, where it was forecast to decline both years.
We found a nominally significant association with an IL12B haplotype which was not considered to be globally significant after permutation testing to determine the significance for the entire analysis, and we identified a novel allele of the IL12B D5S2941 microsatellite in the SAC population.
Tropical forests are globally significant ecosystems; accounting for ~50% of global forest area [1], storing ~ 45% of all carbon in terrestrial vegetation [2 4], maintaining high biodiversity [5], and providing ecosystem services, such as timber, non-timber forest products [6], and climate change mitigation [7, 8].

There are also the so-called failed states, which, while small in number, are globally significant.
But in an Australian election year, with the forests emerging as a major issue, they form part of a chorus of international condemnation that shows Australians that the forests are not just a natural resource, but are globally significant wild lands.
The impacts of HI are globally significant, both with respect to the changes in water availability, as well as regarding the changes in exposure to water scarcity (movement in/out, aggravation/alleviation), and the changes in average duration and occurrence of water scarcity events.
CSIT Principal Investigator, Professor John McCanny, said the meeting was globally significant.
The boom in unconventional gas looks to be globally significant.
