Investigaciones GeográficasGeodiversity is defined by constituents that include geology, geomorphology, soils, surface waters and groundwater. Here, geodiversity indices are calculated in units of 625 km2 on the basis of three subindices, geology (types of rock), geomorphology (types of landforms) and soil types, expressed in raster images with a resolution of 500 m, and a cell ...
