The influence of scale-dependent geodiversity on species distribution models in a biodiversity hotspot. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng SciImproving models of species' distributions is essential for conservation, especially in light of global change. Species distribution models (SDMs) often rely on mean environmental conditions, yet species distributions are also a function of environmental

MAES implementation in Greece: Geodiversity
Journal of Environmental Management, 2023 The present study aims to support the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) implementation in Greece, by synthesizing an indicator that could be used for abiotic attribute assessments and specifically for geodiversity. Such an indicator can be used not only for reporting obligations under EU initiatives but also for identifying
