Implementing nature restoration law through localized collaboration: insights from England

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Nature restoration ultimately depends on collective action at a local level. This is recognized internationally in legal, academic, and practitioner discourses. It is also recognized in England's new legal regime for nature restoration, which aims to support collaboration across the public, private, and third sectors in preparing and delivering locally

Diversity as a general basis of tourism – system approach [PDF]

, 2015
The general basis for tourism consists in the diversity of natural and man-made environment. The diversity can be considered as a natural characteristic of natural and anthropogenic systems produced by them as a condition of its continuance and ...

Antarctic geoconservation: a review of current systems and practices [PDF]

, 2014
The prohibition of commercial mineral resource extraction through the Antarctic Treaty System has removed one significant source of potential damage to Antarctica's geological and geomorphological values. However, given the on-going increase in Antarctic

Too much diversity—Multiple definitions of geodiversity hinder its potential in biodiversity research

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity
Geodiversity—the diversity of abiotic features and processes of the Earth's surface and subsurface—is an increasingly used concept in ecological research.

Advancing causal inference in ecology: Pathways for biodiversity change detection and attribution

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2276-2304, October 2025.
Abstract Understanding the causes of biodiversity change is essential for addressing environmental challenges. While causal attribution has advanced in other fields, ecologists remain cautious about causal claims or misinterpret predictive models as causal.

Prediction of Plant Diversity Using Multi-Seasonal Remotely Sensed and Geodiversity Data in a Mountainous Area

Remote Sensing, 2023
Plant diversity measurement and monitoring are required for reversing biodiversity loss and ensuring sustainable management. Traditional methods have been using in situ measurements to build multivariate models connecting environmental factors to species

Contrasting Latitudinal Diversity Gradients in Karst and Non‐Karst Forests: Evidence for Bedrock‐Driven Modulation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Plant diversity is essential for ecosystem stability and the delivery of ecosystem services. While climate, through energy and water (i.e., productivity), is the primary driver of the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), edaphic conditions modulate resource storage and heterogeneity. The role of bedrock‐driven edaphic gradients in shaping
