Application of the geodiversity index for the assessment of geodiversity in urban areas: an example of the Belgrade city area, Serbia

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2016
Considering the fact that urbanization is one of the most serious threats to geodiversity, it is important that this issue is taken into account in spatial development plans and georesource management strategies in urban areas.

DYNAMICS OF GEODIVERSITY AND ECO-DIVERSITY IN TERRITORIAL SYSTEMS

open access: yesJournal of Urban and Regional Analysis, 2022
Two concepts, the “territorial system” and the “ecosystem”, describe similar realities from different standpoints. For both systems, one of the key features is diversity, called geodiversity in the first case, and eco- or biodiversity in the second.

Engaging with geodiversity—why it matters [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Geologists' Association, 2012
The Conference, ‘Engaging with Geodiversity—Why it Matters’, December 2010, addressed the wider relevance of geodiversity in Scotland. A key challenge is to integrate geodiversity within existing policy relating to the way we work and live, and therefore to inform better the decisions we make about a sustainable future for our environment.

Bridging Ecology and Geosciences in Riverscapes: Implications for Process‐Based Restoration

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
In this paper, we synthesize studies that integrally examine geological and ecological processes across different scales and components of riverscapes, including geohydrological processes. Finally, we identify both scientific and practical challenges that must be addressed to bridge the gap between basic‐science implications and their implementation in

Geodiversity Assessment with Crowdsourced Data and Spatial Multicriteria Analysis

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020
This paper presents an approach to geodiversity assessment based on spatial multicriteria analysis. Instead of relying solely on weighted linear combination (WLC) for aggregating factor ratings and weights to compute a synthetic measure of geodiversity ...

Adapted to Deforestation? Eastern Tree Hyraxes (Dendrohyrax validus) in Crevices in Pare Mountains, Tanzania

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Extensive forest exploitation decreases ecosystem integrity and forces species to adapt to changes in their habitats. Following thousands of years of human settlement in the Pare Mountains, less than 3% of the area remains covered with natural forests.

The Overlooked Link Between Different Resource Partitioning Strategies and Plant Species Richness in Tropical Alpine Ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Species coexistence is based on resource partitioning and modulates biodiversity patterns across climates, latitudes and altitudes. Resource partitioning can occur via niche size or separation in the geographic range or ecological niche. While resource partitioning promotes biodiversity, the impact of different partitioning strategies on ...
