The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Exploring the Geodiversity—Biodiversity Relationships in Freshwaters for Environmental Conservation: A Global Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Geodiversity refers to the heterogeneity of abiotic characteristics in nature, and in freshwater ecosystems, it mostly mirrors the diversity of hydro‐geomorphological features in inland waters. Although several scholars have highlighted that geodiversity contributes to habitat formation and influences biodiversity and ecological processes, it ...
