Geodiversity Index Weighted by Multivariate Statistical Analysis

Applied Geomatics, 2020
Although there are differences in geodiversity definitions, there is a consensus that the term covers elements of abiotic nature like geology, geomorphology, soils, among others. However, the attempt to evaluate these geodiversity elements revealed the need to create methodologies that can quantify them.

Geodiversity Index Map of Rio Grande Do Norte State, Northeast Brazil: Cartography and Quantitative Assessment

Geoheritage, 2021
The values of geodiversity, defined through different qualitative and/or quantitative methods, represent a fundamental asset for the development of geoconservation actions. Quantitative methods can be considered those of less subjectivity since their dependence on the evaluator and its scientific knowledge is restricted.

Analysis of the Geological Heritage and Geodiversity Index of Two Mountainous Areas in Spain: Béjar and El Barco Massifs

Geoheritage, 2021
This article identifies, describes, and characterizes, based on the analysis of 20 geosites, the geological heritage of the Bejar and El Barco massifs. Using 22 characteristics, and weighting coefficients, these geosites were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed (representativeness, accessibility, etc.) and classified into different groups ...

On the Relationship Between a Resource Based Measure of Geodiversity and Broad Scale Biodiversity Patterns

open access: yesBiodiversity and Conservation, 2010
Geodiversity, (diversity of the geosphere) incorporates many of the environmental patterns and processes that are considered drivers of biodiversity. Components of geodiversity (climate, topography, geology and hydrology) can be considered in terms of ...

A new Geodiversity Index as a quantitative indicator of abiotic parameters to improve landscape conservation: an Italian case study [PDF]

open access: possible, 2011
Landscape is one of the main economic and cultural resources of Italy because of the wide geological and environmental diversity that characterizes this country. The diversity of natural ecosystems is made up of biotic components (biodiversity) and abiotic ones (geodiversity).
