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 ...

MAES implementation in Greece: Geodiversity
Journal of Environmental Management, 2023 The present study aims to support the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) implementation in Greece, by synthesizing an indicator that could be used for abiotic attribute assessments and specifically for geodiversity. Such an indicator can be used not only for reporting obligations under EU initiatives but also for identifying
