A framework for quantifying geodiversity at the local scale: a case study from the Rokua UNESCO Global Geopark. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng SciGeoconservation and related quantitative and qualitative geodiversity assessments are gaining increasing attention. However, methodologies for measuring geodiversity at local scale are currently rare.

The role of relief geodiversity in geomorphology [PDF]
Geographia Polonica, 2011 Geodiversity is an important characteristic of Earth surface. Geodiversity is meaning the diversification of Earth surface in the scope of geology, terrain relief, soils, climate, surface and underground water, taking into consideration modifying anthropogenic activity (Kostrzewski 1986, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2001).

Case studies associated with the 10 major geodiversity-related topics. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng SciThis 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 (

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

Assessing the relation between geodiversity and species richness in mountain heaths and tundra landscapes [PDF]
Landscape Ecology, 2023 Recent studies show that geodiversity—the diversity of Earth's landforms, materials, and processes—has a positive relationship with biodiversity at a landscape scale.

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
