Endemic species represent an important component of biodiversity. They are functionally
and evolutionarily distinct from cosmopolitan species, and are under greater threat of …

Non-living and living nature are inherently connected. Geodiversity, which consists of the
variation in geology, soils, topography, geomorphology and hydrology, is seen as the …

A large fraction of the current environmental crisis derives from the large rates of human-
driven biodiversity loss. Biodiversity conservation questions human practices towards …

Aim We propose a novel approach that considers taxonomic uniqueness, functional
uniqueness and environmental uniqueness and show how it can be used in guiding …

In light of the ongoing global biodiversity crisis, the urge to monitor and map terrestrial plant
biodiversity at large spatial extents has spurred research on adequate quantitative methods …

As most regions of the earth transition to altered climatic conditions, new methods are
needed to identify refugia and other areas whose conservation would facilitate persistence …

Aim To explore the scale dependence of relationships between novel measures of
geodiversity and species richness of both native and alien vascular plants. Location Great …

Geodiversity incorporates many of the environmental patterns and processes that are
considered determinants of biodiversity. However, research on the spatial relations between …

Aim We may be able to buffer biodiversity against the effects of ongoing climate change by
prioritizing the protection of habitat with diverse physical features (high geodiversity) …

Climate plays a major role in sha** biodiversity patterns over time and space, with
ongoing changes leading to the reorganization of ecosystems, which challenges …
