Geodiversity and Biodiversity

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2022
Abstract Non-living and living nature are inherently connected. Geodiversity, which consists of the variation in geology, soils, topography, geomorphology and hydrology, is seen as the foundation and stage for biodiversity. Underlying theory suggests that the increasing variation in the abiotic foundation creates and maintains available niche

Case studies associated with the 10 major geodiversity-related topics. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci
This paper outlines the 10 major topics related to geodiversity that have emerged since the concept was first introduced in 1993, 30 years ago. After a short introduction, each of the 10 topics is then illustrated by a relevant case study. The 10 topics (
