Diverse approaches to protecting biodiversity: The different conservation measures discussed as possible other effective area‐based conservation measures

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) create opportunities for a wide range of area‐based conservation strategies. As countries seek to integrate OECMs into conservation planning, it is useful to consider the types of areas that might meet the formal criteria.

A case for stronger integration of physical landscape processes in conservation science and practice

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract I argue that the dynamic nature of contemporary, landscape‐shaping (geomorphic) processes deserves more consideration in conservation science and practice. In an analysis of a sample of fundamental terms related to geomorphology and area‐based conservation in the Web of Science, I found that the terms co‐occurred in <2% of the analyzed entries
