Geodiversity assessment of Paraná state (Brazil): an innovative approach [PDF]

Environmental Management, 2013
Geodiversity is considered as the natural range of geological, geomorphological, and soil features, including their assemblages, relationships, properties, interpretations, and systems.

Spatial pattern of geodiversity assessment in the Marrecas River drainage basin, Paraná, Brazil

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Geodiversity refers to the variety of abiotic elements and processes present at different scales and dimensions in an area. In this study, the combination of geological formations, structural lineaments and dikes, geomorphological compartments, soil ...

Lithobiomes Heterogeneity and Geographic Distance Shape the Landscape Genomics Within Brazilian Mountain Systems. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Genomic analyses of Paepalanthus calvus across Brazilian montane ecosystems reveal strong population structure shaped by geographic distance and lithological heterogeneity. Fine‐scale edaphoclimatic factors are the main predictors of genetic divergence among distinct lithobiomes, underscoring the role of substrate‐driven ecological isolation and local ...

Space-use by feral cattle and horses shapes vegetation structure in a trophic rewilding area. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
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.

Geography, Environmental Conditions and Life History Shape Patterns of Within-Population Phenotypic Variation in North American Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Intraspecific variation is a fundamental component of biodiversity, shaping species interactions and coexistence dynamics. While numerous mechanisms have been proposed to shape the degree of phenotypic variation within species, many remain largely untested or poorly explored at broad spatial and taxonomic scales.

Using LANDSAT 8 and VENµS Data to Study the Effect of Geodiversity on Soil Moisture Dynamics in a Semiarid Shrubland

Remote Sensing, 2020
Soil moisture content (SMC) is a limiting factor to ecosystem productivity in semiarid shrublands. Long-term droughts due to climatic changes may increase the water stress imposed on these lands. Recent observations demonstrate positive relations between
