Engaging With Geodiversity—Why It Matters [PDF]
Proceedings of the Geologists Association, 2012 The Conference, ‘Engaging with Geodiversity—Why it Matters’, December 2010, addressed the wider relevance of geodiversity in Scotland. A key challenge is to integrate geodiversity within existing policy relating to the way we work and live, and therefore to inform better the decisions we make about a sustainable future for our environment.

Geodiversity: Developing the Paradigm
Proceedings of the Geologists Association, 2008The term ‘geodiversity’ was first used in 1993 as the geological equivalent of biodiversity. It has gained in international acceptance and usage in recent years and now warrants the status of a geological paradigm. This article develops some new theoretical and practical aspects of geodiversity, including a discussion of the origin and evolution of the

<p>Rewilding is a novel way of managing nature reserves that involves minimal management with the aim to promote self-sustaining provisioning of ecosystem services. Trophic rewilding is an approach whereby a reserve facilitates both large herbivores such as bison and deer and top predators such as wolfs and bears.

Understanding Trait Diversity: The Role of Geodiversity
Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2023Geodiversity - the abiotic heterogeneity of Earth's (sub)surface - is gaining recognition for its ecological links to biodiversity. However, theoretical and conceptual knowledge of geodiversity-trait diversity relationships is currently lacking and can improve understanding of abiotic drivers of community assembly.

Methods for assessing geodiversity
2018The assessment of geodiversity can be made with qualitative, quantitative and qualitative-quantitative methods. Qualitative methods have a descriptive character and are suitable for nominal and ordinal data. Quantitative methods are based on a set of parameters and indicators to determine a geodiversity index of a certain area. Qualitative-quantitative

The geodiversity mapping of Hungary
2023The assessment, evaluation, and visualisation of geodiversity is a useful tool when trying to consider geoscientific values for e.g. establishing a geopark or any geo-related tourism attraction. A comprehensive geodiversity analysis and mapping of the whole area of Hungary has not yet been carried out, even though there are two UNESCO Global Geoparks ...

Geodiversity of Iran is so high that the country not only includes desert landscapes and landforms but it also contains other landforms in different morpho-climatic regions. In mountainous area of Alborz and Zagros, you can even find active glacier such as Alam Kuh.

Geodiversity beyond Geoheritage
2023Geodiversity is generally defined as the natural range of abiotic (geological, geomorphological, pedological, and hydrological) features and processes. Geoheritage, anchored on geodiversity, is one way of recognizing the landscape’s value to humans.
