The Overlooked Link Between Different Resource Partitioning Strategies and Plant Species Richness in Tropical Alpine Ecosystems

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Species coexistence is based on resource partitioning and modulates biodiversity patterns across climates, latitudes and altitudes. Resource partitioning can occur via niche size or separation in the geographic range or ecological niche. While resource partitioning promotes biodiversity, the impact of different partitioning strategies on ...

Aperiodic Clustered and Periodic Hexagonal Vegetation Spot Arrays Explained by Inhomogeneous Environments and Climate Trends in Arid Ecosystems

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Due to climate change, overgrazing, and deforestation, arid ecosystems are vulnerable to desertification and land degradation. As aridity increases, vegetation cover loses spatial homogeneity and self‐organizes into heterogeneous vegetation patterns, a step before a catastrophic shift to bare soil.

International Geodiversity Day: broadening values and justifications for geosciences in society

Earth Science, Systems and Society
Geodiversity is the literal and metaphorical bedrock for life on Earth, and yet it lacks the standing of biodiversity as a concept that generates research and action beyond its base academic discipline.

Geodiversity of a European river network controls algal biodiversity and function

Communications Earth & Environment
Biodiversity and functioning often follow spatial gradients, yet with unclear causal linkage. In spatially complex rivers, regional-scale factors associated with hydrological connections and catchment properties control downstream transport of material ...

Development of sustainable georesources for the built environment in the United Kingdom [PDF]

, 2008
The character of the UK’s built heritage has been largely determined by the country’s diverse geology. Indigenous natural stone forms a major component of the nation’s pre-1919 building stock.

Geodiversity : a theoretical and applied concept [PDF]

Geographica Helvetica
The concept of geodiversity appears to have grown out of the discussions around biodiversity, and has evolved over time to become both a tool and a theoretical concept.

A Proposal of Quantitative Geodiversity Evaluation Model on the Example of Upper Pivka Karst, Slovenia

Dela, 2016
The article presents a new method for geodiversity evaluation, which was evaluated in the Upper Pivka karst area. The method is based on entire area evaluation on the basis of spatial distribution of geodiversity elements and terrain ruggedness.

Geodiversity Action Plans – A Method to Facilitate, Structure, Inform and Record Action for Geodiversity

, 2018
Geodiversity Action Plans are used widely within the United Kingdom to inform and record action for geodiversity and geoconservation. They encompass both site-based audit and conservation with a wider perspective on geodiversity resources available in an agreed area (such as geological sites, museum collections and building stones) with ambitions to ...

The Combined Use of GIS and Generative Artificial Intelligence in Detecting Potential Geodiversity Sites and Promoting Geoheritage

Resources
The concept of geosites and geodiversity sites that document selected elements of geodiversity has proved to be extremely useful in the preservation and communication of the abiotic diversity of the Earth.
