Representativeness of the Natura 2000 network for preserving plant biodiversity in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...

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

Rethinking Collinearity in Self‐Organizing Maps: Evidence From Geophysical Data Classification

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract This study examines the impact of collinearity on unsupervised machine learning algorithms (UMLAs), specifically Self‐Organizing Maps (SOMs), for detecting lithological boundaries in geophysical data. Using a multi‐scale experimental framework that includes bivariate isotropic clusters, geologically complex Noddy simulations, and real‐world ...

Quantitative Assessment of Spatial Pattern of Geodiversity in the Tibetan Plateau

Sustainability, 2022
Geodiversity is considered a new tool to exploit the resources of regional and local geotourism. Hitherto, few assessments of geodiversity have been conceived for huge geographic units. The spatial pattern of geodiversity in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the purpose of this study.
