Earth History and Biodiversity

• ISSN: 2950-4759

Earth History and Biodiversity is a full Open Access journal which publishes research results on the interplay between biodiversity and the evolution of the Earth's physical environment (atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere) with the aim of bridging the gap between geosciences and biology.Climate is a crucial driver of biological diversity, and its future development will lead to fundamental threats. But also other factors of the physical environment, including geophysics and earth surface dynamics, control or are eventually contingent on diversity in time and space. Understanding evolutionary patterns and processes, and the roots of modern biodiversity in dependence of long and short term environmental processes through the geological past will contribute to developing adequate mitigation and conservation strategies.The overarching aim of the journal is to publish original research papers, reports, review articles, perspectives, tutorial materials, and assays that cover the connections between geoenvironment and biodiversity.Topics may include but are not limited to: Past and present biodiversity patternsImpact of environmental changes on biodiversitySpeciation, extinction and extirpation induced by geoenvironmental disruptionsRoutes and barriers of dispersalEcological, palaeoecological and evolutionary patternsEcosystem and biome destruction or resilience in different geoenvironmentsModelling biodiversity geoenvironmental relationshipsStrategies of biodiversity conservation in different geoenvironmentsEducational material on the connections between geoenvironment and biodiversity
