Geodiversity assessment of Moldova catchment in the mountain area
Lucrările Seminarului Geografic "Dimitrie Cantemir", 2017 Geodiversity is represented by the uniformity of physical properties of the earth and is considered an important landscape feature in its assessment. Due to the multitude of identified abiotic physical elements (66 elements) in the mountain area of Moldova catchment, the geodiversity index was computed, ranging from 0.30 to 8.72.
