Geodiversity and Geoconservation
2015Although nature is often equated with wildlife, it does in fact comprise both living and nonliving elements. The living elements are the plants and animals that make up the world’s biodiversity (biological diversity). Geodiversity (geological and geomorphological diversity) refers to the variety of nonliving nature, that is, the minerals, rocks ...

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

Case studies of conservation plans that incorporate geodiversity
Conservation Biology, 2015Geodiversity has been used as a surrogate for biodiversity when species locations are unknown, and this utility can be extended to situations where species locations are in flux. Recently, scientists have designed conservation networks that aim to explicitly represent the range of geophysical environments, identifying a network of physical stages that ...

Geodiversity In a Changing Environment
Scottish Geographical Journal, 2012In the last decade or so, the concept of ‘geodiversity’ has provided a focus for activity linking the physical environment, people and their cultures (Gray 2004, 2008).

Geodiversity assessment of French Guiana: the need to integrate geodiversity within land-planning
2022Studies on geodiversity have been gaining prominent interest among the geoscientific community over the last decades. As operational concept, geodiversity implies a measurement and its application narrowed to a given spatial area. However, such concept is often integrated to support planning perspectives that focus mostly on geoconservation, neglecting

Geodiversity and ecosystem services
This chapter underscores the crucial role of geodiversity within the ecosystem services (ES) framework, traditionally focused mainly on biodiversity. An inclusive approach is essential to recognise the contributions of abiotic phenomena across regulation, support, provisioning, and cultural ES.Garcia, M. G. +3 more

The role of geodiversity in ecosystem development
2020<p>Besides biodiversity, geodiversity is an important constituent of complex ecosystems. We define geodiversity here mainly as substrate and surface properties and topography.</p><p>Especially during initial stages of young ecosystems, the geodiversity of a site or landscape may have a lasting impact ...
