Locating Geodiversity Hotspots through Grid-Based Spatial Indexing: Lombok Island, Indonesia
Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment, and TechnologyLocating geodiversity hotspots across large areas poses a challenge for further geopark development in Indonesia, especially on Lombok Island, which spans 5,435 km². A geodiversity hotspot is an area rich in unique geological features that need to be determined.

THE GEODIVERSITY INDEX MAP AS A TOOL FOR GEOTOURISM PLANNING WITHIN THE SESIA VAL GRANDE UGGP
, 2023 To ensure the conservation of geodiversity and geoheritage, UNESCO Global Geoparks are increasingly recognised as a good strategy. Geoheritage refers to the elements of the natural geodiversity with some value for humanity, while geodiversity refers to the range of geological features and processes within a given area.

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.

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 ...

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.
