Geodiversity Assessment of Paraná State (Brazil): An Innovative Approach [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Management, 2013
Geodiversity is considered as the natural range of geological, geomorphological, and soil features, including their assemblages, relationships, properties, interpretations, and systems.

Understanding trait diversity: the role of geodiversity

open access: yesTrends in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Geodiversity - 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 ...

RISK ASSESSMENT ON GEODIVERSITY SITES

Public recreation and landscape protection - with environment hand in hand?, 2023
Geoconservation is an action of conserving and enhancing geological, geomorphological, hydrological and soil features and processes. Particular geoconservation measures are very often applied on the site-level to protect important geodiversity sites. Nevertheless, despite established legal protection and related geoconservation activities, threats to ...

Geodiversity of Rewilding

2021
<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.

The effects of land use on fine-scale geodiversity: Ski resorts as an example.

Science of the Total Environment
Human activities pose a threat to geodiversity that is the natural diversity of the Earth's bedrock, soil, geomorphology, and hydrology. However, the impact of land use on fine-scale geodiversity has not been quantified.

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 inclusiveness in biodiversity assessment

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2022
Biodiversity assessment is constitutive in establishing conservation priorities and outcomes, and geodiversity complements species richness as a surrogate in the absence of species data, improves statistical modelling and can facilitate prediction of species distribution and abundance.

Methods for assessing geodiversity

2018
The 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
