Geodiversity assessment of Moldova catchment in the mountain area

Lucrările Seminarului Geografic "Dimitrie Cantemir", 2017
Geodiversity is represented by the uniformity of physical properties of the earth and is considered an important landscape feature in its assessment. Due to the multitude of identified abiotic physical elements (66 elements) in the mountain area of Moldova catchment, the geodiversity index was computed, ranging from 0.30 to 8.72.

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

European 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.

Influences of Geohazard Susceptibility on the Geodiversity of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Earth Science, Systems and Society, 2023
Unexpected natural hazardous events can lead communities to create preparedness plans and identify risks associated with future devastating events. In the case of Cyclone Gabrielle, which resulted in catastrophic damage throughout the North Island of New

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

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

Ecography, 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

Water 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.

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Soil Health Within Soil Security

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil health and soil security are integral to the long‐term sustainability of soils. While soil health is a widely recognised concept, it is limited by its lack of standardisation and often its anthropocentric approach, neglecting broader ecological functions.
