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

open access: yesEcological 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.

Linking Remote Sensing and Geodiversity and Their Traits Relevant to Biodiversity—Part I: Soil Characteristics

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
In the face of rapid global change it is imperative to preserve geodiversity for the overall conservation of biodiversity. Geodiversity is important for understanding complex biogeochemical and physical processes and is directly and indirectly linked to ...

Projecting spatiotemporal bioclimatic niche dynamics of endemic Pyrenean plant species under climate change: how much will we lose?

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species distributions are shifting under global change, with mountain ecosystems among the most vulnerable. In such landscapes, the ability to track changing conditions is limited, threatening narrowly distributed species. As a mountain biodiversity hotspot in southwestern Europe, the Pyrenees harbors many such species, making it a key case study for ...

The New Space Race Era: The Exogeoheritage Challenge and Its Conservation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The escalating pace of space exploration has ushered in a new era reminiscent of the space race of the 1960s. However, the discourse on exogeoconservation—the protection of geological heritage—now demands a prominent place in decision‐making processes.

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

open access: yesEarth 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.

Geodiversity, Geoheritage and Geoconservation for Society

open access: yesSSRN 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

Bridging Ecology and Geosciences in Riverscapes: Implications for Process‐Based Restoration

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
In this paper, we synthesize studies that integrally examine geological and ecological processes across different scales and components of riverscapes, including geohydrological processes. Finally, we identify both scientific and practical challenges that must be addressed to bridge the gap between basic‐science implications and their implementation in

Geodiversity research problems in geotourism

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
