Geodiversity Assessment with Crowdsourced Data and Spatial Multicriteria Analysis
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 This paper presents an approach to geodiversity assessment based on spatial multicriteria analysis. Instead of relying solely on weighted linear combination (WLC) for aggregating factor ratings and weights to compute a synthetic measure of geodiversity ...

What do We Mean by Environmental Heterogeneity? Toward A Mechanistically Explicit and Scale-Dependent Framework. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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 ...
