Progress and Prospects of Research on Microhabitat Scale Characterization and Utilization in Chinese Karst Area. [PDF]
Karst regions exhibit ecologically fragile environments but host a rich diversity of microhabitats across spatial scales. Vegetation productivity and carbon sequestration patterns are intricately governed by subterranean microhabitat conditions. Microhabitat‐based technologies demonstrate transformative potential in reconciling human livelihoods with ...

Habitat-Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (<i>Notropis bifrenatus</i>) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...

Understanding Multi-Scale and Multi-Species Habitat Selection by Mammals in the Eastern Himalayan Biodiversity Hotspot. [PDF]
This study assesses habitat suitability for 10 mammal species in Arunachal Pradesh, a biodiversity hotspot in the Eastern Himalayas, using a multi‐scale modeling approach to examine the impacts of human‐induced landscape changes on species distribution, focusing on rare and threatened mammals.

Patterns of Functional Diversity, Species Diversity, and Endemicity Driven by Elevation and Topographic Complexity in a Mediterranean Mountain Refuge. [PDF]
Within the scope of our study, we modeled and mapped the relationships between functional diversity (Rao's Q), alpha species diversity, and endemism with topographic and climatic factors in a mountainous refugial area encompassing all Mediterranean vegetation strata.

In Near and Middle Eastern archaeology, satellite-derived digital elevation models (DEM) of medium spatial resolution (≥30 m) are mostly used to locate and map archaeological mounds (namely ‘tells’), whereas high resolution DEMs (≤10 m) are still poorly ...

Physical geomorphometry is introduced as a specific subfield of geomorphometry, investigating the land surface in terms of the basic principles, practices, and concepts of physics. The interconnected system of geomorphometric energies gives meaning to the summation, difference and ratio of basic geomorphometric variables.
