Geological and climatic influences on mountain biodiversity
Mountains are key features of the Earth's surface and host a substantial proportion of the
world's species. However, the links between the evolution and distribution of biodiversity …

As old as the mountains: the radiations of the Ericaceae
O Schwery, RE Onstein… - New …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Mountains are often more species‐rich than lowlands. This could be the result of migration
from lowlands to mountains, of a greater survival rate in mountains, or of a higher …

The evolution of African plant diversity
HP Linder - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Sub-Saharan Africa includes some 45,000 plant species. The spatial patterns of this
diversity have been well explored. We can group the species into a set of biogeographical …

Neogene rejuvenation of central Appalachian topography: Evidence for differential rock uplift from stream profiles and erosion rates
The persistence of topography within ancient orogens remains one of the outstanding
questions in landscape evolution. In the eastern North American Appalachians, this question …

Lifespan of mountain ranges scaled by feedbacks between landsliding and erosion by rivers
An important challenge in geomorphology is the reconciliation of the high fluvial incision
rates observed in tectonically active mountain ranges with the long-term preservation of …

Geometric disequilibrium of river basins produces long-lived transient landscapes
Although equilibrium has long been considered the attractor state for landscapes, the time
required to reach equilibrium or even the possibility of reaching equilibrium is still debated …

RM Cowling, AJ Potts, PL Bradshaw… - Journal of …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Although all five of the major mediterranean‐climate ecosystems (MCE s) of the world
are recognized as loci of high plant species diversity and endemism, they show …

The chronology and tectonic style of landscape evolution along the elevated Atlantic continental margin of South Africa resolved by joint apatite fission track and (U‐Th …
Atlantic‐type continental margins have long been considered “passive” tectonic settings
throughout the entire postrift phase. Recent studies question the long‐term stability of these …

Lithological control on topographic relief evolution in a slow tectonic setting (Anti-Atlas, Morocco)
Topographic relief results from the complex interactions between tectonics and erosional
surface processes, which are primarily mediated by bedrock erodibility and climatic …
