Five Decades of Citizen Science Reveal Erosion of Hotspots of Multifaceted Plant Diversity. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolUsing 2.5 million citizen‐science records of 1957 plant species collected across southwest Germany over 53 years, we examined changes in species richness, evolutionary diversity, and plant functional traits. These facets changed independently and were explained by different environmental drivers: climate and human activity primarily shaped taxonomic ...

Geodiversity data for Europe. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng SciGeodiversity is an essential part of nature's diversity. However, geodiversity is insufficiently understood in terms of its spatial distribution and its relationship to biodiversity over large spatial extents. Here, we present European geodiversity data at resolutions of 1 km and 10 km.

Towards a taxonomy of geodiversity. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng SciGeodiversity is a topical concept in earth and environmental sciences. Geodiversity information is needed to conserve nature, use ecosystem services and achieve sustainable development goals. Despite the increasing demand for geodiversity data, there exists no comprehensive system for categorizing geodiversity.
