Models of upland species’ distributions are improved by accounting for geodiversity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Landscape Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10980-018-0723-z
Abstract: ContextRecent research suggests that novel geodiversity data on landforms, hydrology and surface materials can improve biodiversity models at the landscape scale by quantifying abiotic variability more effectively than commonly used measures of spatial heterogeneity. However,… read more here.
