Geodiversity of Italy

Journal of Maps
In recent years, natural areas have been exposed to increasing anthropogenic pressure related to the growing need for natural resources. Comprehensive information on the geodiversity of a territory is essential for all stakeholders in order to define ...

Geodiversity data for Europe. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci
Geodiversity is an essential part of nature's diversity. However, geodiversity is insufficiently understood in terms of its spatial distribution and its relationship to biodiversity over large spatial extents. Here, we present European geodiversity data at resolutions of 1 km and 10 km.

Geodiversity beyond Geoheritage

, 2023
Geodiversity 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.

GEODIVERSITY IN HATIEN-KIENLUONG

Science and Technology Development Journal, 2011
Geodiversity may be defined as the range or diversity of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (landforms and processes) and soil features, including their assemblages, properties, interpretations and systems. Hatien-Kienluong area contains some of the most important and diverse geological and geomorphological features.

Geodiversity, Geoheritage and Geoconservation for Society

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
Geology is part of the planet's “natural capital”, the stock of global natural assets. These assets provide many benefits for society, often referred to as “ecosystem services”. However, traditionally these have mainly focused on biotic services and have undervalued the abiotic ones. The latter are known here as “geosystem services” and they all derive

Towards a taxonomy of geodiversity. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci
Geodiversity is a topical concept in earth and environmental sciences. Geodiversity information is needed to conserve nature, use ecosystem services and achieve sustainable development goals. Despite the increasing demand for geodiversity data, there exists no comprehensive system for categorizing geodiversity.

Mapping Resilient Landscapes to Climate Change in a Megadiverse Country. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Our mapping of terrestrial climate‐resilient sites for biodiversity across Brazil identifies sites with greater chances of providing suitable conditions for species to persist under regional climate change. Landscape resilience information has the potential to be used to effectively guide decision‐making and public policy on strategies for conservation,

Geodiversity and Biodiversity

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2022
Abstract Non-living and living nature are inherently connected. Geodiversity, which consists of the variation in geology, soils, topography, geomorphology and hydrology, is seen as the foundation and stage for biodiversity. Underlying theory suggests that the increasing variation in the abiotic foundation creates and maintains available niche

A Public Participation GIS for Geodiversity and Geosystem Services Mapping in a Mountain Environment: A Case from Grayson County, Virginia, U.S.A.

Land, 2023
Geodiversity and geosystem services are essential concepts for conservation efforts in mountain regions. Approaches that integrate both natural and human dimensions of mountain abiotic nature are best suited for this purpose; however, geodiversity ...
