Vehicle tracks in the UK uplands vary in occurrence with land use and overlap with peatlands and protected areas

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Surfaced vehicle tracks are widespread across GB uplands, yet their extent and environmental footprint have until now been poorly quantified. Using remote sensing and a semi‐automated detection model (F1 = 84.3%), we mapped over 5190 km of hill track, finding density highest in wind farm and grouse moor landscapes and with over 2500 km overlapping ...

Geodiversity research problems in geotourism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The richness and diversity of physical features of nature known as geodiversity is a new issue of research in geosciences. Increasingly, it is analyzed in terms of usefulness in the study of the natural environment and impact of geology and geomorphology

Qualitative Map of Geodiversity as a Tool to Identify Geodiversity-Related Ecosystem Services: Application to the Costões e Lagunas Aspiring Geopark, SE Brazil

open access: yesGeosciences
Geodiversity mapping is a key topic in the field of geoconservation. Although most methodological proposals are based on quantitative assessments, recent studies on qualitative mapping have shown strong potential for various applications, including ...

Flood Modelling Evaluation in a Semiarid Catchment: The Role of a Soil Mineralogical Index From Satellite Imagery

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean region is characterized by the occasional occurrence of intense rainfall events. Along with lithological, geomorphological, and land use factors, these events influence the hydrosedimentary dynamics of drainage basins, potentially causing torrential floods.

GEODIVERSITY IN HATIEN-KIENLUONG

open access: yesScience 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 assessment of French Guiana: the need to integrate geodiversity within land-planning

open access: yes, 2022
International audienceStudies on geodiversity have been gaining prominent interest among the geoscientific community over the last decades. As operational concept, geodiversity implies a measurement and its application narrowed to a given spatial area ...

What's there beyond the sun and the sea? Detecting tourists' interest towards nature in a mass tourism destination using social media data

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1802-1816, June 2026.
Abstract Nature‐based tourism is a rapidly growing subsector of the international tourism industry. However, capturing broad‐scale patterns of nature visits during touristic trips or visitors' appreciation of nature may be difficult using traditional data sources and methods. In this study, we harness geotagged social media data to understand the scale

Geodiversity of Mexico

open access: yesInvestigaciones Geográficas
Geodiversity is defined by constituents that include geology, geomorphology, soils, surface waters and groundwater. Here, geodiversity indices are calculated in units of 625 km2 on the basis of three subindices, geology (types of rock), geomorphology (types of landforms) and soil types, expressed in raster images with a resolution of 500 m, and a cell ...

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Detecting Forest Water‐Availability and Biomass Patterns Through a Retrospective Study in a Mediterranean Region

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Latent heat (λ $\lambda $ET) fluxes are a major component of the hydrological cycle globally. According to recent models and experimental observations, during droughts, wetter regions respond by increasing λ $\lambda $ET, while drier regions exhibit decreasing trends due to vegetation water stress.
