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
