TL;DR: Elevational patterns of vascular plant species richness and endemism on a long-isolated continental island (Crete) that has experienced extensive post-isolation mountain uplift are investigated for the first time.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the species-area relationship (SAR) of plants on very small islands, to examine the effect of other factors on species richness, and to check for a possible Small Island Effect (SIE).

TL;DR: It is concluded that different biogeographical factors act as drivers for total species richness than for endemic species richness, and different scales of endemicity displayed similar qualitative trends and only differed quantitatively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the scope for three of the most commonly used global LC/LU taxonomies (CORINE Land Cover, FAO-LCCS, and the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme) to be translated to habitat classifications and provided a framework for EO and in situ data integration for habitat mapping.

TL;DR: This paper builds on the DPSIR framework, providing a terminology to relate the concepts of state, pressures, and drivers with the application of EO analysis, and provides detailed examples for two protected areas, demonstrating the use ofEO data for detection of land cover/habitat change, coupled with expert interpretation to relate such change to specific anthropogenic pressures.
