Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 37-50, January/March 2025.ABSTRACT Palsas and peat plateaus occur in various environmental conditions, but their driving environmental factors have not been examined across the Northern Hemisphere with harmonized datasets. Such comparisons can deepen our understanding of these landforms and their response to climate change. We conducted a comparative study between four regions:

Global Ecology and BiogeographyHeterogeneity of the Earth's abiotic surface and subsurface (geodiversity) is increasingly recognised as an important driver of biodiversity. Theoretically, species' traits should match to abiotic conditions in the local environment.

Amphibian Biodiversity and Distribution Changes From the Paleozoic in China
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Vertically exploring the animals’ biodiversity and distribution change trajectories and horizontally demonstrating their association with the existing floral structures are critically required to integrally analyze their biodiversity changes and predict their future survival trends.

The complex governance of protected areas: Insights from geoheritage and geopark management in China
Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 679-690, December 2024.Abstract Geoparks aim to conserve areas of geological significance and achieve sustainable endogenous regional development via geotourism. The management of geoparks requires the involvement of all relevant stakeholders and authorities. However, the strategies when establishing geoparks are often based on the visions of scientists and policymakers ...

, 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 ...

Finding the proper methodology for geodiversity assessment : a recent approach in Brazil and Portugal [PDF]
, 2012 A methodology for the quantitative assessment of geodiversity was defined and tested at various scales. It was applied to the Xingu River Basin, Amazon, Brazil (about 510,000 km2), Paraná state, Brazil (about 200,000 km2), and Portugal mainland (about 89,
