Mechanical impacts of climbing on cliff vegetation: Contrasting management concepts

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 153-164, January 2026.
Abstract Climbing a boulder for the first time often means entering a previously inaccessible ecosystem, many of which are inhabited by rare species. Little is known about the impacts of first ascents on cliff vegetation, especially with respect to different rock types.

The Importance of Geosites and Heritage Stones in Cities—a Review [PDF]

open access: yesGeoheritage, 2016
Geology, as a scientific discipline, is often viewed as most applicable in high mountains or in deserts or coastal areas—or more generally in ‘natural areas’ where rock exposures are most conspicuous—and, therefore, not to be experienced by most visitors and tourists.
