Global Conservation Status of Key Areas for Climate Diversity

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate diversity significantly influences biodiversity by shaping climatic niches and buffering against climate fluctuations and represents a key indicator of biodiversity conservation values. Protecting climate diversity within protected areas (PAs) enhances the resilience to future climate change of PAs.

Effects of landscape fragmentation on floodplain fishes as revealed by species–habitat networks

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract How species interact with habitat patches is influenced primarily by habitat configuration (e.g., connectivity) and species’ functional traits. As levels of fragmentation increase, identifying the intricate connections between these components is crucial for biodiversity conservation.

International Geodiversity Day: broadening values and justifications for geosciences in society

Earth Science, Systems and Society
Geodiversity is the literal and metaphorical bedrock for life on Earth, and yet it lacks the standing of biodiversity as a concept that generates research and action beyond its base academic discipline.

Space‐use by feral cattle and horses shapes vegetation structure in a trophic rewilding area

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Feral cattle (Bos taurus) and horses (Equus ferus caballus) are commonly introduced to European rewilding areas to halt vegetation succession and to conserve light‐demanding species. Yet, we still do not understand how the habitat preference of animals shapes vegetation structure at the landscape scale.

Geodiversity, Geoheritage and Geoconservation for Society

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
Geology is part of the planet's “natural capital”, the stock of global natural assets. These assets provide many benefits for society, often referred to as “ecosystem services”. However, traditionally these have mainly focused on biotic services and have undervalued the abiotic ones. The latter are known here as “geosystem services” and they all derive

Problems of geotourism and geodiversity [PDF]

Quaestiones Geographicae, 2012
Abstract. Early definitions of geotourism stressed tourism related to geology and geomorphology, though some drifted into other concepts such as education, sustainability, conservation and more. Later definitions, largely fostered by National Geographic, treat the topic as related to geography, or more simply place, and concentrate on ...

Mapping Acid Mine Drainage Areas with Sentinel-2 and WorldView-3 VNIR Satellite Images: An Example in the SE of Spain

Remote Sensing
Mining of sulfide-rich deposits enhances the oxidation of sulfide minerals, generating acid mine drainage (AMD) characterized by high sulphate and dissolved metal concentrations and the formation of secondary iron minerals (hematite, goethite, and ...

GEODIVERSITY IN HATIEN-KIENLUONG

Science and Technology Development Journal, 2011
Geodiversity may be defined as the range or diversity of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms and processes) and soil features, including their assemblages, properties, interpretations and systems. Hatien-Kienluong area contains some of the most important and diverse geological and geomorphological features.

Geodiversity : a theoretical and applied concept [PDF]

Geographica Helvetica
The concept of geodiversity appears to have grown out of the discussions around biodiversity, and has evolved over time to become both a tool and a theoretical concept.
