Purpose – The Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India, set up the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel (WGEEP) in March 2010 to provide guidelines for improved management within the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. The WGEEP's Mandate was to identify ecologically sensitive areas ...

Hotspot basins found on all continents We mapped the global gradient in social-ecological vulnerability to freshwater stress and storage loss at the basin scale and, from this, identified those with the greatest vulnerability as hotspot basins (Fig. 3). Hotspot mapping has been a successful endeavo...
In addition, this approach provided new phylogeographical clues on ecological and evolutionary aspects of the archaeal biology. As acquisition of the essential functions to be permanently adapted to a habitat requires an extended period of time (von Mering et al., 2007), the lack of indicator arc...
Stratospheric aerosol injection is a potential method of climate intervention to reduce climate risk as decarbonization efforts continue. However, possible ecosystem impacts from the strategic design of hypothetical intervention scenarios are poorly unde

Tajikistan is located in the southern region of a global biodiversity hotspot, the mountains of Central Asia (Marchese, 2015), which covers a subdivision of the Palearctic zone, Asia, bioregion of the Central Asia – Iranian Plateau (Olson et al., 2001). The region is characterised by the...
For a region to qualify as a hotspot, two strict criteria must be met, that is (i) it must contain at least 1500 species of vascular (higher order) plants (>0.5 % of the world’s total) as endemics, and (ii) it has to have lost at least 70 % of its original habitat 10. The...
