Abstract
⺠Dry subtropical regions display contrasting land cover patterns across continents. ⺠Vegetation divergence increase from natural to seminatural to cultivated systems. ⺠Cultivated area increases with population density or connection to global markets. ⺠In spite of degradation contrasts, Asia and the Americas host similar grain yields. ⺠Per-capita grain outputs are low and convergent in Asia and Africa (50 kgâyâ1âinhâ1)
