Geodiversity index weighted by multivariate statistical analysis
Applied Geomatics, 2020Although 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.

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.

Geodiversity of the Umbria region (central Italy): a GIS–based quantitative index. [PDF]
, 2014 The measure of natural range related to geological bedrock, landforms and geomorphological processes is the necessary starting point to geodiversity evaluation. Geodiversity plays a strategic role in landscape management. Whereas geotourism and geosites are identified as a driving power for the scientific and economic promotion of an area, the ...

, 2013 The research centered on geoconservation and geotourism stressed qualitative methods focusing on the definition, identification, study and development of geosites. Although the excellent results achieved by scientific international research, the topic of quantitative evaluation of geodiversity is still an open field.

Geodiversity assessment to regional scale: Ecuador as a case study
Environmental Science and Policy, 2022 [EN] Geodiversity is the variety of earth materials, forms and processes that constitute and shape the Earth planet. Therefore, geodiversity includes essential for developing nature-based solutions and must be adequately characterised. This research aims

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 ...

Geodiversity: a new quantitative index for natural protected areas enhancement. [PDF]
, 2014 In spite of the excellent results achieved by international scientific community, the topic of quantitative assessment of geodiversity is still a matter of debate. Quantitative models by including the assessment of abiotic characteristics need to be improved based on quantitative estimates of geological and topographic components.

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

Geodiversity is increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of nature and an essential substrate for biodiversity. Despite methodological advances, quantitative tools for assessing abiotic heritage in extensive, low-relief coastal plains remain scarce for informing territorial management.
