Mountain biodiversity in Brazil [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Botânica, 2007 The high species richness and diversity found in tropical montane habitats are often related to: 1) an effect of climatic and geological history on biotic evolution; 2) the various environmental impacts on species adaptation mechanisms; and 3) the continuous dispersal of fauna and flora in time.

China’s mountain biodiversity and conservation status
Geography and SustainabilityAs global biodiversity continues to decline and ecosystems degrade, mountains are often regarded as crucial refuges for numerous species due to their unique montane environments and relatively unfragmented landscapes.

Study of Biodiversity in Submontana of Kamojang Nature Reserve, West Java, Indonesia [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The low mountain forest area is known as a source of biodiversity because it has an area with natural ecosystems that are relatively still intact and has rich biodiversity and a high level of endemism.

voluModel: Modelling species distributions in three‐dimensional space
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Ecological niche modelling (ENM), species distribution modelling and related spatial analytical methods were first developed in two‐dimensional (2‐D) terrestrial systems; many common ENM workflows organize and analyse geographically structured occurrence

Biodiversity in China's mountains [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2006 China, one of the world's “megabiodiversity countries”, is home to more than 30 000 vascular plant and 6300 vertebrate species. Over thousands of years, however, cultivation has led to the disappearance of many of these species from the plains and lowland areas.
