Geodiversity challenges for a sustainable future
Nature GeoscienceWhile geodiversity is a concept increasingly recognized by scientists, it remains underutilized by policymakers and relatively unknown to the general public. Hence geodiversity is being exposed to various risks and threats, such as urban development, changes of land-use, visitation pressures at touristic sites, climate change, and emphasizing 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.

Incorporating geodiversity into conservation decisions
Conservation Biology, 2015In a rapidly changing climate, conservation practitioners could better use geodiversity in a broad range of conservation decisions. We explored selected avenues through which this integration might improve decision making and organized them within the adaptive management cycle of assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring.

RISK ASSESSMENT ON GEODIVERSITY SITES
Public recreation and landscape protection - with environment hand in hand?, 2023Geoconservation 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 ...

Because the functions of the subsurface are hidden from view, its important role in society is often ignored or taken for granted. The subsurface is, however, an essential part of the global ecosystem with important contributions to human well-being ...

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
