Exploring Hawaiian long-term insular geodiversity dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The role of time is underrepresented in assessments of geodiversity. Hot spot islands are unique systems to explore long-term geodiversity dynamics. The geodiversity dynamics of seven Hawaiian Islands are analysed by a qualitative-quantitative assessment

Exploring the Geodiversity—Biodiversity Relationships in Freshwaters for Environmental Conservation: A Global Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Geodiversity refers to the heterogeneity of abiotic characteristics in nature, and in freshwater ecosystems, it mostly mirrors the diversity of hydro‐geomorphological features in inland waters. Although several scholars have highlighted that geodiversity contributes to habitat formation and influences biodiversity and ecological processes, it ...

Timing matters for farmland breeding waders: Aligning agri‐environment exclusion periods with species‐ and latitude‐specific nesting phenology

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
We propose an evidence‐based system that prescribes context‐specific exclusion dates based on three simple criteria: target species, latitude and agricultural activity. This framework would allow policy to account for complex phenological variation, significantly improving breeding outcomes, while remaining administratively manageable and scalable.

Application of bivariate mapping to assess geodiversity and its geomorphic constraints: A case study in Kuwait

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geoheritage and Parks
Geodiversity assessment is a critical preliminary step for geoconservation planning and represents the foundation for any rich biodiversity system. The purposes of this research were to identify the geomorphic constraints that influence the geodiversity ...

What do We Mean by Environmental Heterogeneity? Toward A Mechanistically Explicit and Scale‐Dependent Framework

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We synthesized 360 studies on environmental heterogeneity (EH) across taxa, regions, and disciplines. Only 10% of studies explicitly defined EH, and definitions were predominantly descriptive. We identify four operational interpretations of EH and propose a Research Roadmap linking EH metrics to five mechanistic hypotheses with testable predictions ...

Guapira leucophylla (Nyctaginaceae, Caryophyllales), a new species from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Guapira Aubl. (Nyctaginaceae, Pisonieae) comprises dioecious shrubs and trees widely distributed in the Neotropics and occupying diverse habitats. In the Brazilian Cerrado, the genus occurs in several phytophysiognomies, including Campos Rupestres, a montane rock ecosystem with high levels of endemism but still marked by significant gaps in botanical ...

Ceramic Production and Geodiversity in Iron Age Iberia: An Archaeometric Study of Pottery from Castrejón de Capote (SW Spain)

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 659-673, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The hillfort of Castrejón de Capote is one of the best investigated settlements of Late Iron Age southwest Iberia. Located in the territory that the classical sources attributed to the Celtici, it was occupied between the early 4th and the 1st centuries bce.

Application of the geodiversity index for the assessment of geodiversity in urban areas: an example of the Belgrade city area, Serbia

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2016
Considering the fact that urbanization is one of the most serious threats to geodiversity, it is important that this issue is taken into account in spatial development plans and georesource management strategies in urban areas.
