Perceptions of nature and its non‐material contributions to people at Mount Kilimanjaro

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1697-1712, July 2025.
Abstract Non‐material Nature's Contributions to People (NCP), such as spirituality and aesthetic enjoyment, arise from interactions between people and entities of nature. However, their intangible and context‐specific nature makes them challenging to identify and quantify.

Geodiversity Assessment with Crowdsourced Data and Spatial Multicriteria Analysis

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020
This paper presents an approach to geodiversity assessment based on spatial multicriteria analysis. Instead of relying solely on weighted linear combination (WLC) for aggregating factor ratings and weights to compute a synthetic measure of geodiversity ...

DYNAMICS OF GEODIVERSITY AND ECO-DIVERSITY IN TERRITORIAL SYSTEMS

open access: yesJournal of Urban and Regional Analysis, 2022
Two concepts, the “territorial system” and the “ecosystem”, describe similar realities from different standpoints. For both systems, one of the key features is diversity, called geodiversity in the first case, and eco- or biodiversity in the second.

Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1383-1397, July 2025.
This study reveals strong, diverse associations between soil phosphorus and the abundances of understorey arthropods across a lowland tropical forest landscape. These patterns were not paralleled in an adjacent site‐level fertilisation experiment, raising the interesting possibility that arthropod–phosphorus associations could be mediated by spatial ...

Protected area targets: Spatially evaluating progress and prioritizing areas to reach 30 × 30 in Canada

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Our analysis reveals progress on protected and conserved areas (PCAs) from 2010 to 2022, while outlining gaps where accelerated action is needed to deliver upon both the quantity and quality of PCAs under the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Large gaps in PCA coverage and associated Target 3 component indicators were prevalent in the Northern ...

Inventory and Assessment of Geosites and Geodiversity Sites of the Ait Attab Syncline (M’goun Unesco Geopark, Morocco) to Stimulate Geoconservation, Geotourism and Sustainable Development

open access: yesQuaestiones Geographicae, 2023
The Ait Attab syncline, in the southwestern part of the Moroccan Central High Atlas (CHA), is a vast basin characterised by an exceptional geodiversity illustrating the complete sedimentary series in the CHA.

A Network of Networks: Building Resilience in the Globalised Era

open access: yesGlobal Networks, Volume 25, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The complexity and dynamism of networks necessitate a thorough examination of their resilience against the evolving challenges of globalisation. Using a Bibliometric‐Systematic Literature Review (B‐SLR), which is commonly considered a rigorous methodological approach, this article examines how the resilience of these networks can influence ...

Valorizar a geodiversidade e proteger os serviços geossistêmicos na Região de Carajás

open access: yesConfins, 2023
The difficulty of a systemic look at nature has historically favored biotic aspects to the detriment of abiotic ones. Geodiversity is an almost absent topic in discussions involving the Amazon, supporting the false idea that landforms and rocks are ...
