The Latitudinal Diversity Gradient (LDG) across geomorphological landforms: despite mountains occupy less than one-third of the total land area, they harbor four times more species per-unit area than lowlands in the equator and exhibit a stronger LDG 🏔🌏 doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…

Ok this is big. Web of Science just removed the MDPI flagship journal IJERPH from their lists. This means IJERPH has no more an Impact Factor. Why is this big? What are the implications? 🧵
