Global Conservation Status of Key Areas for Climate Diversity

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate diversity significantly influences biodiversity by shaping climatic niches and buffering against climate fluctuations and represents a key indicator of biodiversity conservation values. Protecting climate diversity within protected areas (PAs) enhances the resilience to future climate change of PAs.

Geodiversity Assessment with Crowdsourced Data and Spatial Multicriteria Analysis

ISPRS 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 ...

Quantitative evaluation of geodiversity : development of methodological procedures with application to territorial management [PDF]

, 2012
Although geodiversity is considered the setting for biodiversity, there is still a huge gap in the social recognition of these two concepts. The concept of geodiversity, less developed, is now making its own way as a robust and fundamental idea ...

Effects of landscape fragmentation on floodplain fishes as revealed by species–habitat networks

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract How species interact with habitat patches is influenced primarily by habitat configuration (e.g., connectivity) and species’ functional traits. As levels of fragmentation increase, identifying the intricate connections between these components is crucial for biodiversity conservation.

Space‐use by feral cattle and horses shapes vegetation structure in a trophic rewilding area

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Feral cattle (Bos taurus) and horses (Equus ferus caballus) are commonly introduced to European rewilding areas to halt vegetation succession and to conserve light‐demanding species. Yet, we still do not understand how the habitat preference of animals shapes vegetation structure at the landscape scale.

Projecting spatiotemporal bioclimatic niche dynamics of endemic Pyrenean plant species under climate change: how much will we lose?

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species distributions are shifting under global change, with mountain ecosystems among the most vulnerable. In such landscapes, the ability to track changing conditions is limited, threatening narrowly distributed species. As a mountain biodiversity hotspot in southwestern Europe, the Pyrenees harbors many such species, making it a key case study for ...

GEODIVERSITY IN HATIEN-KIENLUONG

Science and Technology Development Journal, 2011
Geodiversity may be defined as the range or diversity of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms and processes) and soil features, including their assemblages, properties, interpretations and systems. Hatien-Kienluong area contains some of the most important and diverse geological and geomorphological features.

The New Space Race Era: The Exogeoheritage Challenge and Its Conservation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The escalating pace of space exploration has ushered in a new era reminiscent of the space race of the 1960s. However, the discourse on exogeoconservation—the protection of geological heritage—now demands a prominent place in decision‐making processes.
