Geodiversity hotspot and SWOT-TOWS-AHP assessment for regional geoconservation strategies in Kulon Progo Regency, Aspiring Jogja Geopark, Indonesia

International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks
The concept of geodiversity and its sensitivity are inextricably linked. A geodiversity hotspot is defined as a geographical area that has a high level of geodiversity, while also being susceptible to threats from human activities.

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.

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.

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.

Geodiversity mapping in alpine areas [PDF]

, 2018
Geodiversity mapping has become an established tool for assessing the value of the abiotic part of the landscape. We present two methods, which have been developed in the mountains of the State of Vorarlberg (Austria), but have a wider application in ...

Guapira leucophylla (Nyctaginaceae, Caryophyllales), a new species from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Guapira Aubl. (Nyctaginaceae, Pisonieae) comprises dioecious shrubs and trees widely distributed in the Neotropics and occupying diverse habitats. In the Brazilian Cerrado, the genus occurs in several phytophysiognomies, including Campos Rupestres, a montane rock ecosystem with high levels of endemism but still marked by significant gaps in botanical ...
