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

The geodiversity of the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park (Central Italy)
This paper presents a novel geodiversity map of the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park (Central Italy). The Park exhibits a wide range of geological-geomorphological environments of great scientific and touristic interest, offering unique landscapes

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 ...

A Network of Networks: Building Resilience in the Globalised Era
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
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 ...
