Community assembly on inland cliffs is context‐dependent

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 11, Page 3484-3498, November 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under harsh environmental conditions, community assembly processes are expected to drive pronounced functional convergence, with communities dominated by stress‐tolerant species.

Geodiversity and Landscape Services in the Region of Ogulinsko-Plašćanska Zavala, Croatia

Ekológia (Bratislava), 2020
In terms of spatial planning and environment protection procedures in Croatia, geomorphological features as a component of geodiversity are mostly considered marginally.

Barbacenia pendula sp. nov.(Velloziaceae) from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Although botanical exploration in the Espinhaço Range has increased in recent years, several areas remain poorly sampled, particularly in northern Minas Gerais. Recently, this area has been receiving scientific expeditions, leading to the description of several new plant species.

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

Five Decades of Citizen Science Reveal Erosion of Hotspots of Multifaceted Plant Diversity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using 2.5 million citizen‐science records of 1957 plant species collected across southwest Germany over 53 years, we examined changes in species richness, evolutionary diversity, and plant functional traits. These facets changed independently and were explained by different environmental drivers: climate and human activity primarily shaped taxonomic ...

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.

Exploring the Geodiversity—Biodiversity Relationships in Freshwaters for Environmental Conservation: A Global Systematic Literature Review

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Geodiversity refers to the heterogeneity of abiotic characteristics in nature, and in freshwater ecosystems, it mostly mirrors the diversity of hydro‐geomorphological features in inland waters. Although several scholars have highlighted that geodiversity contributes to habitat formation and influences biodiversity and ecological processes, it ...

Linear Water Erosion in the State of Mato Grosso (Brazil): Spatial Analysis and Identification of Critical Areas

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
Mapping linear water erosion across Mato Grosso revealed spatially concentrated critical areas rather than a uniform distribution. Erosion foci were more frequent in environmentally fragile landscapes and areas of land‐use conflict, highlighting where monitoring and soil‐conservation actions should be prioritized.

Timing matters for farmland breeding waders: Aligning agri‐environment exclusion periods with species‐ and latitude‐specific nesting phenology

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
We propose an evidence‐based system that prescribes context‐specific exclusion dates based on three simple criteria: target species, latitude and agricultural activity. This framework would allow policy to account for complex phenological variation, significantly improving breeding outcomes, while remaining administratively manageable and scalable.
